Skin tightening on tattooed arms? Are the treatments safe for tattoos?

Apostrophe
I am 33 with loose upper arm skin “bat wings”. I’m interested primarily in nonsurgical options, like ultherapy or thermage. Are these effective treatments for this area? Also, are the treatments safe for tattoos, meaning the tattoo will not be damaged?
