I would ask your surgeon as he or she will be able to give the best advice based upon healing.Find

a  board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of liposuction
 and Brazilian buttlift procedures each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's   
website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can   
deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

I don't think that there is a right or wrong answer to this question. As long as the skin remains healthy and you don't end up with an infection, you are probably safe to proceed with body art a month after surgery. If there is ever a concern with wound healing, infection, or prolonged swelling from inflammation, I would wait until the skin and body feel normal.
