Liposuction & tattoos: how long do I need to wait to get liposuction after a tattoo?

User Avatar

Hi there, I'm hoping to get 360 lipo on my mid section, upper arms and inner thighs to knees. I'm going to be getting a tattoo on my left hip down to my outer thigh. How long after I get my tattoo should I wait to get these lipo procedures? Also, would thigh lipo interfere with my tattoo art? (I have no pictures at the moment, sorry) Some more info.: I'm 24 years old, 5'5, 178 lbs, and a BMI of 35%. Is lipo even suitable for me? Should I lose more weight first? I've been having some difficulty.
