: Phoneman, I have seven tattoos and have gained about 50 pounds since the first one. Yes, the tattoos will enlarge and may lose a little detail, but you have nothing to worry about, the changes are very subtle.
: The pigment that was needled between the layers of your skin will not move around, and it would take some enormous weight gain (I'm guessing roughly 60-70 pounds) for you to see very noticeable differences.
: Besides, you can always have the tat touched up if you feel it is becoming noticeably different, but I doubt it will.
I have one on my chest, and one on my shoulder blade... I've gained quite a bit in the last little while (30 lbs), and have only noticed a little stretching...
