Tattoos + Weightloss

[.star*]

Right-o,

Just looking for a wee bit of advice/people's experiences.

I'm looking to get my calves tattooed, however, I'm thinking that I'd like to tone them up a bit. I think they're a bit chunky at the moment. I have the design, the artist and all that needs to be done is to book an appointment. But, this is where the problem lies, do I....

1. Go ahead and get them done now i.e., next couple of weeks, and once I've got them, just exercise and tone up sensibly?
2. Wait, tone up and slim down, then get them done?

I'm super excited about getting them done but I'm worried that if I went with #1 now the tattoos would end up distorted so I think i'm leaning more towards #2.

So basically, anyone ever had any experience with weightloss + tattoos? Or have any suggestions/advice etc?

the skin shouldn't shrink much. if it's an abstract work rather than a portrait or life drawing then it should be fine even with a wee bit of movement on it over time.

to be honest i would think you would never really lose weight fast enough to radically effect the area of skin especially in the area you are thinking about getting tattooed.

unless of course your thinking about starving/steroiding/(incert other form of torture exersise here) in rapid sucession
