Will a BBL mess up my large tattoo that goes from under my armpit to my back?

Question

I have a large side tattoo from under my armpit going down to my ribs, around my hips and going to my back.

Hello! It is difficult to say without viewing photos. It shouldn't affect your tattoo much but if you do not have great skin laxity you may be left with some wrinkling\loose skin. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Many clinics are offering virtual consultations at this time. Best of luck.

Hello and great question. I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure. My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel. I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation Specialist.
There are no major incisions in liposuction and fat transfer, your tattoo should remain unchanged.
I would definitely recommend doing an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure and who can suggest what is needed. I hope that helps! Best of luck!

Hard to predict without photos; if your skin lacks elasticity, there may be some stretching. The scars are small, but some surgeons will make many more incisions and in less discrete locations. Depending upon how much fat is transferred to the buttocks, the tattoo size may be altered.
During your consultation,  discuss your concerns about preserving your tattoos with your plastic surgeon.

Dear azizamichaelson,
since there are no major incisions in liposuction and BBL, your tattoo should remain unchanged. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

A BBL should not affect a tattoo on your back. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
