Tattoo advice please.

No, not on getting one, I know that would be bad, but on stopping the 2 I do have getting all nasty and stretched.

I have one on my lower left belly, and one on my right hip and obviously both are 'well' placed to get stretched. I have started using the Avent stretch mark moisturiser once a day on my belly back and boobs, making sure to plaster the tats well, will this be enough?? Any products out there that are tried and tested for anti-tat stretchage?

Unfortunately as your belly stretches so will the tats, i dont think there is anything else you can do other than smothering them in the stretch mark cream, even then it might not work and you might still get stretch marks. It all depends on how your belly goes back i guess.

thats all you can do hun plenty of moisteriser and moisterising bath products for your skin and hopefully this will give them more elasticity. HTH xxx

Try Bio Oil, it's quite pricy but worth it in my opinion. It's sold all over the place from the supermarket to boots and specialist chemists. It's around the £8 marker for a small bottle and £12 for the larger bottle. You only need a few drops though so they do last a fair while.

it depends if you get stretchmarks, my friend has just had a baby and she has got one on her belly and she was fine it still looks the smae after so you might be ok but if its gonna stretch it will hunny xxx

Hi there. I am a mother of 8 and have tatts all over my body and none have ever stretched out of place......You skin can never be tightened enough by the tattooist to make being pregnant do any thing to them.....

Nothing you can do about it except hope I'm afraid.

The tattoo may distort a little because of stretching. The biggest problem is if you get a stretchmark that actually cuts through the design. Sadly you can't really fix that if it does happen.

TBH creams aren't really going to make any difference to wether you get stretchmarks or not.
