Tattoos

When I got the tattoo on my right hip, I should have thought about having a baby in the future. It doesn't look awful, but stretched out. I'm hoping it goes back to normal. Not to mention the scar I had from my belly ring 15 years ago!!!

    Ha! Live and learn. You probably would have done it, even if you had been warned, right? It'll probably go back to normal!

    I never had an issue with my tattoo, but both holes from my belly button ring stayed visible.

    My belly ring holes are a mess too. Yikes! And I took mine out maybe 6 years ago??

    I purposely got my tattoos on my back and ankle so they wouldn't stretch when I got pregnant, but with my insane feet swelling... I wouldn't be surprised if the one on my ankle did stretch. So far, so good, though! Knock on wood!

    Hope your tattoo goes back to normal. Vitamin E lotion or BioOil (I think that's what it's called) may help.

    Where I had my belly button pierced it's red, stretched out and turned into a giant stretch mark. I was worried for a while that it was going to rip in half.

    I am so thankful I didn't get any tattoos in the area under my belly or around my hips. Basically I have huge stretch marks the whole way around excluding my back.. I can't imagine how they would have affected a tattoo

    My belly ring scar looks awful too, plus when I had laparoscopic surgery it added to it. Luckily my hip tattoo is low enough it's not affected. Hope my foot and ankle tattoos aren't all stretched out from the swelling!

     

    Yeah, I don't have a tattoo but I had laparoscopic surgery as well and the scar above my belly button turned into an ugly stretch mark.

    The tattoo in my hip went back to the same size, but it didn't look exactly the same as it did before.

    I'm in the same boat. The butterfly I had tattooed when I was 16 now looks like a hawk. And my naval ring hole is just disgusting. I'm afraid of how it's all going to look pp!

    My belly ring looks pretty funky!

    I have a tattoo on my back that has stretches a bit but not too bad.

    My DH has always said he wanted me to get a tattoo of tweety bird on my hip area so that when I it pregnant it would look like big bird!! Wtf!

    Thankfully my ink has been safe...my belly ring holes dont look too creepy...but next to all the stretch marks it would take a lot to be worse.

    My sister had a Winnie the Pooh tattoo on her hip stupid drunk decision in her early 20s. After she had her twins pooh look more like poo! Lol he went back to sameish size but you can't tell what the hell it is now.
    I have one on my back and picked that place for this very reason.
