Will a Breast Lift and Implant Distort a Chest Piece Tattoo?

Location, location, location - The shifting and distortion of a chest tattoo by a breast implant with or without a breast lift would depend on the EXACT location of the tattoo and what is done.

As you came to realize, skin is a poor construction material since it stretches and thins with age.

If you have a breast lift / Reduction, it should NOT pull a tattoo which is off the breast onto the breast but MAY raise the breast closer to the tattoo. On the other hand, if you have a Breast Augmentation, depending on the size of the implants, adjacent skin MAY be recruited and be pulled in.

In the final count, it would depend on the look you desire.

Without a photo, it's impossible to give you an answer. If it is adjacent to the breast, there is a good chance that it will be pulled or shifted to some degree.
