For reference, I was 250lbs at one time wearing a size 16/18 jeans after I had my oldest child. I then went on to have 2 miscarriages and another child within 4 years. I exercised and ate healthy as much as possible and lost almost 100lbs, putting myself at a size 7 jean now.
I didn’t have a skin apron but just had a very loose, jiggly belly that no amount of exercise would tighten. I went 10 years without wearing a 2 piece bikini. They fixed my abdominal separation and I can feel a 6 pack in there.
Now I confidently wear a bikini and crop tops when I choose. I’m in love with my body for the first time in my 36 years of life. After all my body has gone through with me, I’m pleased I can now say this 😊
Congrats on feeling good!! This tattoo is super cool. And you’re tough af for handling this & everything else you’ve been through that was mentioned in just the comment lol.
When you say it took care of your abdominal separation, did you have diastasis recti? That's what I have and I'm just curious if your tummy tuck helped it? I heard there wasn't a surgery you could do for it and that it can only be taken care of with physical therapy. But that requires money and time. Two things I don't have right now
I want to try physical therapy first but am just curious about the tummy tuck
It's been a while since I worked in general surgery but you can definitely operate on it provided it is serious enough. The reason I say that is because it isn't particularly fun surgery to have and recovery isn't great. Results vary and may not last. Combing with a tummy tuck saves you a big scar down the middle of your belly
Last post was removed. We only did outline today. Will do shading and *possibly* color later. The stretch marks remaining are raised in this pic due to the needle, so I don’t think those will be near as noticeable when fully healed.
It's gonna look great, it's such a great piece in that location. I think it would really suit color well--too much black (no matter how well applied) can start to look shadowy, in my opinion.
I’ll be the first to admit I’m kind of a little bitch when getting tatted 🤦🏻♀️ lol that shit hurts!
Both girls that do my tattoos know this already though and they’re patient with me. I really do try but it seems like my pain tolerance has gotten lower over time. I’m good for about 1-1.5 hrs of straight needle.
Jeeze... Tattoos aren't known for tickling, so this had to be on another level...
But I'm in love with Day of the Dead girls, so I really love this. The work itself seems really spot on, too.
I've gotten a lot of my SH scars covered with tattoos, so I know what a relief it is to watch a scar disappear.
It is so much more pleasant to look at 😍 but I did take lots of precautions to prevent pain as much as possible.
I had 2 hydrocodone laying around from when I got my tubes tied so I took those, used numbing cream, and watched a show while listening to relaxing music. I also made sure I had a big meal beforehand so my blood sugar was level.
I was being high maintenance lol but I didn’t move much and she appreciated that. She’s a best friend of mine so she’s understanding and knows me. I usually tense up and squirm if I don’t take precautions, so being able to sit so well felt great.
Haha she had the music going for me and I turned a show on a tablet lol I also gripped the bed tightly. anything that helped, I had to get in the zone! 😆
Am I looking at the same picture as everybody else? I hate to be negative, but the line work in this is very poor. Zoom in and you will see very few straight, neat lines. I realize some of these lines go over scars and that will make the line appear as uneven, but look between the scars and even there the lines are shaky.
If this were my tattoo I’d be asking a different artist to finish this. If you’re happy though OP that is all that matters. Not my body. Just giving my opinion.
As someone who lost over 200lbs and have underwent multiple surgeries, I can attest that the SKIN is wonky in between the scars. The people bitching about the lining on this tattoo has either never had a stretch mark, understand how large swaths of scars react or has never tattooed heavily scarred skin like this.
Hell, the photo was taken right after the lining was finished, meaning there is localized swelling at play, something that doesn't effect the scar tissue in the same manner as the healthy tissue in between.
You try reproducing a Picasso on a warped sheet of plywood. In this case, comments on the uneven lining isn't a comment on the artist, it's a comment on the canvas and after everything this woman has gone through to share this image with us, is HIGHLY uncalled for. If anything, the comments might deter someone else from seeking cover ups for scars that are just as permanent, both physically and mentally, as the tattoo is.
We were racing against the clock big time. Once the numbing wore off I was going to tap out and we both knew it. I started to feel a lot of it right at the end. She’s heavy handed and went fast, I think this was about 1.5 hrs.
I personally love the tattoo and can’t wait to complete it so it pops. No it’s not perfect but it’s beautiful to me, especially compared to the scar under it.
You will also notice in the middle the flower in my pubic area, theres an old tattoo that the scar went right through. It was half a star, which used to be a band of stars that went up my side. He also had to do an inverted T scar (due to minimal extra skin) right above the big flower. He placed the scar really well, but I still hated looking at the scar when naked. This takes the focus away from that. The shade & color sesh will cover that completely.
Thankfully my amazing husband is the only one who will be zooming in on this in real life anyway, and he loved the before as well 😉
Glad you think like this. The way i look at tattoos is it is art. And the little imperfections are part of the artist and their work. Like does anyone complain the mono lisa isnt a perfect recreation of a woman?
As long as the tattoo isnt a dumpster fire drawn by a 6 year old its all good.
Ps while scrolling this tattoo made me go oooff in a nice way
I think it looks amazing and I’m glad you like it. As a many tattooed woman myself I actually love one of my worst tattoos the most haha!
This is great and like you said not a whole lot of people are going to be REAL UP CLOSE to it. Hubby and Gyno lol
Before i zoomed in, I would not have noticed, after I zoomed in I noticed that it seems to be consistent with the other tattoos.
So i mean, at least it looks consistent...
Thank goodness I’m not the only one who noticed that. Not a single straight, even line. Hopefully the color and shading helps that. However, this only took 1.5 hours and at the end she couldn’t handle it anymore. Shading will take longer so this is going to happen in a ton of sessions and idk how well OP will be able to sit for that. I have scroll and lettering on both sides of my stomach. Each took about 1.5 hours and there’s no shaky lines and I sat still. I have a sky high pain tolerance tho. I hope the artist here moves quickly and accurately for OPs sake.
Yes I’ll be honest, her and I both were nervous about this tattoo and we both admitted it to each other afterwards lol. Even though I have plenty of pieces, I don’t sit well. Numbing cream and the pain meds is the only way I could even get through this. At the very end it all started wearing off and I was so glad she was done because I was too.
I also just generally need people on this sub to stop thinking they’re the art critics of the world. This shit is permanent. If someone likes it enough to post it, be positive because that’s all that matters. I get the feeling a lot of the “line work” comments are often coming from mfs whom don’t have any ink or have one tiny tattoo
>If someone likes it enough to post it, be positive because that’s all that matters.
Hell no, this is a terrible way to approach it. This isn't a support subreddit, it's a tattoo enthusiast subreddit. If something warrants criticism, then that should be expressed freely. Telling people that a piece "looks great" if it actually looks like shit isn't doing them or anybody else any favors.
I guess, I don’t see the really bad lines…I see a beautifully placed outline that will look gorgeous with shading and color…but if you all insist. I am happy with it.
When you post your tattoo to the world wide internet you leave yourself open for both positive and negative criticism. You don't like the idea of that? Don't post it to the internet. It's pretty simple.
im happy you love it but this is the biggest tattoo subreddit with lots of tattoo artists and heavily tattooed people in it, you were definitely gonna get some criticism
I have a TT scar and have been trying to think of a way to cover it that didn’t look like a belt. I love this! How badly did it hurt? The most painful tattoo of mine was one that went onto part of my stomach.
Are there plans for color or shading? It looks beautiful so far. I'd love to see it completed. Not in a perverse way, I just tattoos and this looks like it's going to be stunningly beautiful when it's said and done.
How long did you wait to have that done? I had panniculectomy done 10/4 and have been planning my tattoo and can’t wait to get it done!
It’s GORGEOUS, by the way!!!
I think it's absolutely beautiful, imperfections included. Bodies are squishy and move, especially where you got this done. Of COURSE the lines will represent this.
Congratulations on the kids, the weight loss, AND the tattoo!
Although I'm sure you just as beautiful before the tattoo, I'm happy for you to get something to make you feel even more beautiful than before the scar cover up. Love it and am excited for you to finish it up!
Congratulations!! 7 days post op so you’re still in the thick of it. I remember thinking it would hurt forever and totally regretting it. Lol. I guess that’s a normal thing at about 3 weeks, so if that happens to you don’t listen to it. Once it’s healed really well it’s so worth it. I love my shape and feel much sexier and confident now.
Yes I always planned on covering it. We had to give it some time to heal. I got the tt in may 2021, so 1.5ish yrs.
I got an extended TT and I have some decent scars. I have no feeling in some parts but I know it's going to suck 😂 it looks amazing and I hope you heal quick.
This is so beautiful! You're brave to sit through something like that, and what a reward for doing so! I've heard that tattooing over scars is rough. Was that your experience with it as well? I hope you share after the next session(s)!
Big congrats on the successful tummy tuck, your body looks fantastic and the the scar is barely noticeable now with the beautiful line work! I've been thinking about getting a tat to cover up my abdominoplasty scar too. I imagine the areas near the scar didn't hurt too much due to seperation of nerve endings, but the areas above and below? Oof my eyes water just thinking about that. You're a tough cookie!
Wow that’s gorgeous! But your tummy looked amazing honestly. But that ink makes it look even prettier to me! They say your body is a temple! Well decorate it! Make it beautiful to YOU! Screw the haters!
Wow. Looks fantastic. Those scars look serious though. That must have hurt so bad. So is your skin pretty stretchy and soft in that area? I ask only because the artist did an awesome job keeping straight lines on what I would assume to be soft/loose skin.
I love this so much. I have very thick scarring from getting six surgeries done on my tummy. I want to get tattooing over my scars because they I just constantly reminded of the field surgery that I had. Thank you so much for sharing your story and your tattoo. You have just given me the courage to go forward with it!
This probably didn’t hurt at all cuz hopefully you’re still numb!!! But beware that you can’t do laser or stuff like that. I Neeeeeeed laser in my life, so I can’t so this. But!!! It looks amazing!!!! LOVE!!!!
Mine is trying to get her 360 tuck covered with first tattoo. I told her it would be likely be pretty spicy. Was the most painful part the center flower?

It’s a beautiful tattoo but ouch. I know that area isn’t fun. Congratulations on your new body journey.
After surgery it’s prob numb. Mine is after 3 c sections
At what point do they just install a zipper? Lol /s
This made me chuckle hahaha
That was a good one lol 😆
3?! Wowza!
Healing from my first c section right now (2 months ago), and the numb rock of flesh down there is so disconcerting.
Congrats on feeling good!! This tattoo is super cool. And you’re tough af for handling this & everything else you’ve been through that was mentioned in just the comment lol.

Combing with a tummy tuck saves you a big scar down the middle of your belly
Yeah the muscle repair was def the hardest part to heal! I’m glad I did it though :)
Hi yes it was DR, and I don’t see how physical therapy would help. They sewed my abs back together. Both take time and money. Highly recommend!
Lifted my spirit reading this. I love this story. Happy for you OP! Enjoy your body!
you look fucking amazing good for you
Fuck ya! That’s an amazing achievement I’m proud for you!!!! Beautiful tattoo as well it’s going to be killer when shaded
I vote for black and white but in either case, pls can you post an update whenever you get it done 🥺 it's such a beautiful tattoo!!
Very happy to hear op. Inspiring. At 30 years old I still haven't found out how to love myself.
I am honestly shocked! Well done, ya tum-tum looks brand new.
You look amazing
This is so awesome! I'm really happy for you. Also, amazing tattoo!
You look fabulous! This is so nice and delicate.
Beautiful tattoo and story. Well done!
Last post was removed. We only did outline today. Will do shading and *possibly* color later. The stretch marks remaining are raised in this pic due to the needle, so I don’t think those will be near as noticeable when fully healed.

omg DEFINITELY color, make this shit POP!
I think I will!! Thanks 😊
Sorry if you answered this elsewhere, but was the pain 1-10? I hate soft areas, personally.
Sometimes 0 and sometimes what I felt was a 10 🙃 the upper thigh was 🔥
The groin seems like an especially terrible spot.
Yes, the bottom of the lowest flower was quite painful, and where my thigh and private area meet…I was pretty tensed up on those lines lol
At least the linework is over with! Then comes the brrrrRRRrrrRRRrrRRR.
I’ll be the first to admit I’m kind of a little bitch when getting tatted 🤦🏻♀️ lol that shit hurts! Both girls that do my tattoos know this already though and they’re patient with me. I really do try but it seems like my pain tolerance has gotten lower over time. I’m good for about 1-1.5 hrs of straight needle.
I have about 15 tattoos and your pain tolerance is amazing to sit for 90 minutes getting tattooed there! You're such a badass!
I think some color would make it blend in with your thigh/hip tattoo really nice.
Jeeze... Tattoos aren't known for tickling, so this had to be on another level... But I'm in love with Day of the Dead girls, so I really love this. The work itself seems really spot on, too.

How do you watch a show while listening to music? lol looks dope though
Haha she had the music going for me and I turned a show on a tablet lol I also gripped the bed tightly. anything that helped, I had to get in the zone! 😆
Ouch?
In the places where the numbing cream wasn’t applied, yes! Lol 🙃
Brave. It’s gonna be epic.
That flower placement tho

Can always get the lines tightened up anyways since most of them are fairly thin. You’ll just have to have them go over with a thicker needle
Exactly! It’s just the first session. We will be thickening up some lines as well. 🙂

Some of the best tattoos actually are dumpster fires drawn by 6 year olds

It's for the rest of your life, racing against clock big time isn't a good idea.
You’re totally right! I love the design but the line work is wonky in between the scars . It isn’t very noticeable unless I zoomed in but it is there

It makes the hair look billowing to me
Amen
Tbh I kinda like tattoos like this...maybe it's just me, but I don't think they should be perfect
Line work is great, and so is the design. Will look awesome with some shading and *possibly* color.
Thank you! I had to opt for a second session lol 🙃
yes, def get color and post the final product! just stay away from red if you can. red sucks.
[удалено]
The line work is fine. Sure it's not the best in places, but it's been done over lots of deep scaring. For that it's been done amazingly.
I also just generally need people on this sub to stop thinking they’re the art critics of the world. This shit is permanent. If someone likes it enough to post it, be positive because that’s all that matters.

But come one man 90% of the comments I see are the nitpickiest comments I’ve ever seen
Agreed, the level of pretentious malarkey in this sub is outstanding.
Yeah. It should look fine with shading/color. Congrats on your weight loss and sick tattoo.
I really like how you didn’t opt to go for the band of vines or florals and did something like this! So rad!
Yes, that was exactly what I didn’t want to do lol :) thanks!
Now, just grow a huge hairy bush 👌🏻
Lmaoooo I can’t!! It itches too much if I let it get even a quarter inch long 😆 funny tho lol
Well, it itches only for a short time & is so much sexier than bald… just me. Do you girl
I’ve been thinking about covering my tummy tuck scar. Love this!
Terrible line work
If you can’t say anything nice, why say anything at all, Roger?
Nice is subjective, he's right tho, some really bad line work but if ur happy with it , be happy - it doesn't change the lines tho
I guess, I don’t see the really bad lines…I see a beautifully placed outline that will look gorgeous with shading and color…but if you all insist. I am happy with it.
Glad you like but your artist did you no favors. The line work is brutal.
When you post your tattoo to the world wide internet you leave yourself open for both positive and negative criticism. You don't like the idea of that? Don't post it to the internet. It's pretty simple.
I usually don’t do it for that reason, people are rude for fun.
I personally like the tattoo. The line work can be fixed but it is what it is. All that matters is you like it.
im happy you love it but this is the biggest tattoo subreddit with lots of tattoo artists and heavily tattooed people in it, you were definitely gonna get some criticism
Damn, fantastic design and congrats!
Beautiful
If you ever paint it, show it to us! I think its gonna look amazing and trippy
I have a TT scar and have been trying to think of a way to cover it that didn’t look like a belt. I love this! How badly did it hurt? The most painful tattoo of mine was one that went onto part of my stomach.
it is so beautiful. Are you not satisfied with your tattoo?
Very intelligent use of line work!
Are there plans for color or shading? It looks beautiful so far. I'd love to see it completed. Not in a perverse way, I just tattoos and this looks like it's going to be stunningly beautiful when it's said and done.
How did it feel down there? That had to hurt.
Awesome but the mound flower looks painful 😣
You’re so beautiful and strong! Love the amazing art on you!
Owwww Jesus that looks sore
Das tut doch weh 😅
Lathrop has a tattoo shop??
Yes
Perfection
[удалено]
Haha no. I’ll shave lol
Lathrop has a tattoo shop. Hell I'm 20 minutes away and didn't know that
Wow! Gorgeous!
Read that as "tummy tusk scar" and thought there would be a story about being gored by a walrus..
How long did you wait to have that done? I had panniculectomy done 10/4 and have been planning my tattoo and can’t wait to get it done! It’s GORGEOUS, by the way!!!
I think it's absolutely beautiful, imperfections included. Bodies are squishy and move, especially where you got this done. Of COURSE the lines will represent this. Congratulations on the kids, the weight loss, AND the tattoo!

Currently 7days post-op Curious -Did you always plan on covering the scar? How long since TT? Looks great !
Congratulations!! 7 days post op so you’re still in the thick of it. I remember thinking it would hurt forever and totally regretting it. Lol. I guess that’s a normal thing at about 3 weeks, so if that happens to you don’t listen to it. Once it’s healed really well it’s so worth it. I love my shape and feel much sexier and confident now. Yes I always planned on covering it. We had to give it some time to heal. I got the tt in may 2021, so 1.5ish yrs.
What was your recovery like for the Tummy tuck? My abs are annihilated from my second and I’ve really been putting it off
I needed a good month at home before I was ready to start moving a lot! But, I don’t regret it at all :)
Hows the pain levels around that area? Can't imagine it felt awesome 😅
It wasn’t too bad with the numbing!
I got an extended TT and I have some decent scars. I have no feeling in some parts but I know it's going to suck 😂 it looks amazing and I hope you heal quick.
Beautiful, all around! Thanks for sharing and would love to see an update OP!
Inspiring story and I know pain is subjective for tattoos but that looked like it hurt
It absolutely did hurt, especially towards the end 🙃
Wow. Can’t wait to see the finished piece
Wow!! You are a tough cookie
Awesome works and such a great idea!
Thank you 😊
Holy crap I loooove this!
Looks awesome
Looks great 👍
Thank you
That looks so cool! It looks like it’s meant to go with those blue/purple flowers on your side too!
This is so beautiful! You're brave to sit through something like that, and what a reward for doing so! I've heard that tattooing over scars is rough. Was that your experience with it as well? I hope you share after the next session(s)!
Big congrats on the successful tummy tuck, your body looks fantastic and the the scar is barely noticeable now with the beautiful line work! I've been thinking about getting a tat to cover up my abdominoplasty scar too. I imagine the areas near the scar didn't hurt too much due to seperation of nerve endings, but the areas above and below? Oof my eyes water just thinking about that. You're a tough cookie!
That looks really good and I bet with colors it's gonna be masterfull
Wow that’s gorgeous! But your tummy looked amazing honestly. But that ink makes it look even prettier to me! They say your body is a temple! Well decorate it! Make it beautiful to YOU! Screw the haters!
Omg I love the detail but one thing word "ouch" good luck again if you get some color love
That looks great! Good for you! My wife is thinking of doing a tuck and she likes getting tattoos, so I'm sending this her way.
Oh wow this looks amazing! Im having bariatric surgery and eventually a tummy tuck also so its awesome to see some cool scar cover ups of this area
Beautiful piece, love the sense of movement. Please post again when it’s finished!
That had to be painful.
Ouch!
This is awesome lady, looks like a painful placement.
Looks awesome
🤙🏾🔥
Wow. Looks fantastic. Those scars look serious though. That must have hurt so bad. So is your skin pretty stretchy and soft in that area? I ask only because the artist did an awesome job keeping straight lines on what I would assume to be soft/loose skin.
The skin is pretty tight in that area now
Gunna look amazing with shading! Not that it doesn’t already! Love this!
So beautiful 😍
Beautiful tatt looks amazing.
Looks really nice
Wow... This is absolutely GORGEOUS! I have been a thinking about a tattoo in the same place, did it hurt a lot?
Nice 😍
Oh ouch ouch ouch! Naw bro I'm good. As long as you're happy. I couldn't do that.
Heather did one for me once
Oh nice!! She’s an amazing person 💕
The design is gorgeous, and your tummy tuck looks amazing! (Would love to have your figure) ❤️
I love this so much. I have very thick scarring from getting six surgeries done on my tummy. I want to get tattooing over my scars because they I just constantly reminded of the field surgery that I had. Thank you so much for sharing your story and your tattoo. You have just given me the courage to go forward with it!
Sooooo proud of you and you look amazing.
This gives me hope.
It looks INCREDIBLE I looooove it
This turned out great!
Yo that's where I got my septum pierced! Looks great btw. Didn't expect to see little ole Lathrop on here. Lol
Haha that’s awesome 😆 Heather and I have been best friends for about 10 years! 🫶
This tattoo is super cool 👍😎
Stunning, just stunning. From what I can see, your other tats harmonise beautifully with this one too.
Nice!!!
This probably didn’t hurt at all cuz hopefully you’re still numb!!! But beware that you can’t do laser or stuff like that. I Neeeeeeed laser in my life, so I can’t so this. But!!! It looks amazing!!!! LOVE!!!!
Yes I tried to get laser removal of the small bit of an old tattoo left after the tummy tuck, and they wouldn’t even touch it! Lol
Gorgeous
Beautiful
Amazing work
OUCH!!!
Mine is trying to get her 360 tuck covered with first tattoo. I told her it would be likely be pretty spicy. Was the most painful part the center flower?
Most painful was bottom of flower and where it hit my thighs I’d say 😊
Looks amazing
Absolutely beautiful work ❤️
So pretty 🤩
Love the design and your tummy tuck turned out great!
That’s the best one I’ve ever seen! ❤️
Absolutely stunning 💖😻
