I have a tattoo on my butt and it completely covers one side. I'm scared that while having the BBL surgery, by having the tattoo covering one whole buttock it will not allow the surgeon to render the procedure as it will be hard to see where he is transferring the fat too.

I'm not worried about the tattoo itself, I'm worried about being safe during the procedure! Thank you.
