Will a Tummy Tuck & Lipo Ruin My Tattoos? (Photo)

NoobBoob
I did some research on the tummy tuck and lipo procedure and was curious as to any alternative methods. The most common one that I found was the underbelly and having to stretch the skin downwards; doing this would result in my stomach tattoo stretching down wards and a belly button in the middle of my tattoo. Would pulling the skin upwards be a possibility? Or is there another option that is best when avoiding the distortion or change in my tattoo? Thank you!
