The area of excision will be determined by how much skin is to be removed. Your hip area is usually outside the excision area for a tummy tuck unless it is an extended tummy tuck.

Hip Tattoo and Tummy Tuck
Whether your tattoo would be removed with your tummy tuck depends on where it is and the design of the tummy tuck excisional pattern. If it is on your hip bone, it most likely will be outside of the tummy tuck 'zone' and will remain.

Some tattoos are totally removed with a tummy tuck, and some will remain behind but without a photo I cannot tell you for sure. Please repost with a photo.

Please post a photo. It is not possible to answer otherwise. All depends on the size, the location, and how much skin excess you have. All the best.
