Will a rib cage tattoo affect the appearance of a tummy tuck?

godivachoc
Hello doctors, I have tattoos on my rib cage and I'm hoping to get an tummy tuck someday. I am just wondering, would the skin from my rib cage extend to my abdominal area? I'm thinking if the skin from there would be stretched when the tummy tuck is done. I'm planning a full abdominoplasty. thank you :)
