I want to get a tattoo on my upper rib cage (3 inches below my armpit), but I am worried that when I get breast implants ( from A to full C), that it'll ruin my tattoo. I am thinking of getting implants next year and would like to get the tattoo now. Should I worry about this and not get the tattoo until after the implants?

Answer: Tattoo Prior to Breast Augmentation You should definitely wait. You want to know exactly how you will look before you get a ta too. The breast augmentation will most likely cause the skin to stretch and can in turn make your tattoo look distorted. It is primarily your decision but I think if you are going to make such an investment in your body, you will want the best results possible. Good Luck!

Answer: Will Breast Implants Ruin a Tattoo on Upper Rib Cage? If you have your heart set on having breast augmentation soon, I would suggest that you postpone the tattooing. Any area of nonhealing or infection associated with the tattooing process may necessitate postponement of your breast surgery. Also, having breast augmentation surgery performed first will allow you to appropriately plan positioning and design of the tattoo. You may find the attached link, demonstrating many patients with tattoos, helpful to you as you consider your options. Best wishes.
