Will a breast reduction ruin my tattoo? (Photo)

briar_094
I recently got a tattoo just under my bra on my rib cage and forgot that soon I may be getting a breast reduction. Will a breast reduction change/stretch my tattoo? I’m really worried now, I’m really happy with how my tattoo looks now and I don’t want it to change when I get my reduction :(  I’m seeing a surgeon next month so I will be able to ask about my tattoo then but I’m really worried about it and want some information sooner, thank you
