I am a BBW (big beautiful woman) for the uninformed. I would like to get a tattoo across my lower back but I do have some fat there and worry that they design will not come out right. What do you think?

I am a larger gal too and don't worry about back fat and getting a tat there. It will still look awsome and as long as you like what you are getting and you have put some thought into it.

I have seen many larger people get tattoos in areas that they have some excess fat and they still look amazing. Just make sure to plan everything out with your artist and make sure that they are comfortable with your body features.

I dont think there's anything wrong with it, my friend had a tattoo done on her stomach, then lost weight and now it looks really quite bad, so i would maybe just be sure that you aren't going to be losing weight from that area before you go ahead, maybe it was just her but she ended up having to get it removed it ended up so bad!

I agee that weight loss can definantly change the way that a tattoo looks. I actually noticed a slight difference in mine when I gained weight during my pregnancy but after I lost the weigh it was normal again.
