So! A little offended that I’ve just been advised against having my underboob tattoo done due to being of a curvier nature - am I being insane or generally will it/does it look awful?!

You will have to PM me more boob pics for an informed decision.

Personally I think to have an underboob tattoo you need perky boobs otherwise it will be hidden. It’s certainly the case with mine anyway, not commenting on yours as can’t really see what they’re like

I'm very much in the balls to what everyone else thinks and do what you want

You may find it hurts less for you in that area than it would for someone else with less padding. Look forward to seeing the results when you have it done.

I'm booked in for a thigh tattoo next month.... at least the artist has plenty of space to do her design

Will the boob be covering it, not allowing it to "heal" leading to infection?

It’s a difficult one because the design I want it wouldn’t overly be covered - but they’re also not the perkiest! I knew I shouldn’t have prayed for big boobs!

I’m all for anything hurting less due to my extra padding haha - oooof thigh I think that was one of my favourite parts of the body to get tattooed! Good luck and can’t wait to see what you have done! Xx

If there is a practical/medical reason why it's not advised for bigger women (such as healing etc) then I would think carefully about having it done.

If it's just an aesthetic reason and someone thinks it wouldn't look good on a bigger woman then just think fuck it, if you like it then go for it. It doesn't matter what others think!

Healing wise... I have a tata towel which I would practically live in until it’s healed... they’re fantastic!

The tattooist was basically saying it doesn’t look nice on a bigger person which is what deflated me as it’s a personal choice and not for the enjoyment of others as such - more for me!

Being curvier doesn't help rib tattoos, the skin is just as thin and the sensitivity is just as high. If you do go for it, I strongly advise you take a pillow as that will help alleviate the pressure of your boobs on your windpipe and chest. If your artist has advised against it, I would listen to them. If it's anyone else, fuck that noise and do what makes you happy

I don’t think he insulted you at all, he gave his professional opinion, he doesn’t think it’s the right area for you to get tattooed, to me that sounds more professional than someone who will tattoo anyone anywhere and just pocket your money.

Then fuck him right off & find a tattooist that isn’t a judgemental prick!

Ooh, makes my blood boil!! I’ve had a tattooist tell me he wouldn’t want to do anything on me as it would distort with losing or gaining weight. He also tried to tell me the skin has more nerve endings where it’s fleshy, so it would hurt more.

I don’t think it’s rubbish that he has insulted me on the fact I’ve been told because I’m a bigger lady I can’t have a tattoo that someone of a smaller nature can have... size shouldn’t matter and hasn’t effected any of my other tattoos I have had done... if they had said medically it could get infected due to the size of my boobs etc I’d totally be more accepting and feel a little less shit than them just using my size as the argument

It does mine too! I’ve had plenty of tattoos and gained and lost weight - also with 2 babies - with lower rib tattoos - I look after them and they are still as beautiful as ever.

So I agree

I agree.

I don't intend to get a tattoo but if I did, I would prefer the tattoist to tell me if he thought my idea was shit because of my body shape or whatever , rather than just taking my money. He's got the experience after all.

How on earth is that insulting or disrespectful? He's arguing himself out of money. You're free to ignore his advice and to carry on anyway.

Could he not have advised on a better design or placement for a tattoo for a larger lady ? Like I say I have had many tattoos as a fat person and designs I have gone in with they have made suggestions to other places I could have them or adapted them to make them better - that’s a professional.

I would have thought it pretty obvious that some tattoos look better depending on your body shape and I think, if you asked for a tattoo that your tattoist thought would look awful, it's actually kinder of him to tell you that rather than just shrug and take your money.

Perhaps he could have suggested an alternative, but I can't see why anyone would get upset if someone who knew about these things warned someone planning to permanently alter their body that they may not get the results they expect.

Id say do as you like, its bullshit reasoning about its placement. how many people have inner lip tattoos? To see them you have to do a massive pout or pull your lip out! Rarely ever seen yet people have them and tattoists do them.

Theres a tattooists work I love jenna at devil in the detail in stoke. She does some cracking underboob tats! Check out the webpage and their instagram photos im sure they will amaze!

Ive waited years to be tattooed again, im so fussy about who will get to do them as ive seen some foul work.

Me too. He is a professional and has given you advice. Less scrupulous individuals would have taken your money irrespective of whether it was a good choice.

My concern would be how are you going to keep that area clean and promote healing. I have just had some work done on my half sleeve and even keeping that clean and stopping clothing from rubbing is hard work. You seem to have ceased the point that the artist has called you fat. Of course people on here will jump on that .... to your defence. Maybe go to a few more artists and ask for their professional opinion, instead of listening to the sycophants who will say whatever you want to hear. Then make up your own mind.

The thing with tattoo artists, they don’t tend to do anything that they think might not look good. Your tattoo is advertising their work. At the same time, I’ve seen women of all shapes and sizes with tattoos and they look great! Go and get another opinion.

I am in no way new to tattoos , ribs, hands, feet, thighs, neck, back upper and lower, well educated on keeping them clean,aired and looked after.

And I am particular in researching the work I have done - I don’t need people to tell me the tattooist was wrong for saying I’m fat and if you read I have stated I am deflated - as I have every right to be I have asked for people’s opinions and I take everyone’s on board.

I have also stated that I am researching and getting other tattooists opinions because that would have been a nicer option than the tattooist just shutting me down. I have seen much bigger women than me with them done so it can’t be a big health and safety no no now can it?

To be fair, I've seen people tattoo their eyeballs which is very dangerous so just because someone else has done something doesn't always mean it should be done again.

As for this situation I'm kind of on the fence. You went to him for an opinion and you got one. Quite often with things like tattoos what we think it will look like isn't what it will actually look like which is why we defer to the professionals.

If he hasnt flat out refused to do it, simply said it wouldn't look good in his opinion then I dint see what the issue is. If he is that good then I'm sure he won't miss your custom if you decide to go ahead.

I'd love an underbust tattoo and think they look great, but that's just my opinion

Ouch at the eyeballs and yep very dangerous.

Like I say I’m going to research other designs and have some chats with other tattooists as it has to be right for me no matter what if other tattooists say the same of course I will take that on and think long and hard , but I’m not going to go on the opinion of one as it’s something I’ve thought about for a while now!

You look very attractive in your puctures. A tattoo under our boobs would be awesome. I prefer a tattoo underneath than on breasts. At the end of the day it is about what you like.

I’ve got a fair sized rack & have my sternum tattooed. It’s one of my favourites & actually looks pretty good.

I’d say it’s more down to design & tattooists ability to execute a decent design than body type.

Go for it! They are hot! X

I'm a size 16 and have my sternum/underboobs tattood.

Probably not so much size, but how large and how do your boobs sit.

If they're large and heavy, and the design will mostly be covered, it's going to be a bitch to keep clean and dry in the healing phase.

I too am a size 16 - I have large boobs but they generally don’t cover the area I want done especially not the sternum part, have got a couple of consultations booked so looking forward to the outcome.

Just looked at your profile pic, and agree you should have enough free area to be able to fit a design. Definitely get a second opinion.

"Healing wise... I have a tata towel which I would practically live in until it’s healed... they’re fantastic!

The tattooist was basically saying it doesn’t look nice on a bigger person which is what deflated me as it’s a personal choice and not for the enjoyment of others as such - more for me! "

Find a new tattoo artist. I've taken advice on location in the past but my guy would never dream of telling me not to have something...

He's a friend now and whilst I appreciate his advice its my body and his shop window. It's not about the money I rarely pay for anything I have now.. Get whatever makes you happy your body your ink...

We are doomed as a species....

My generation is the first that can not except no for a answer.

Every time someone tells us no , it’s because they are shaming us...

So we look around to find some one that says yes...

No disrespect Op but you have to listen to Professionals.

My cousin wanted a nose job... she went to the best plastic surgeon in Manhattan. He told her he would not do the surgery because she is black and the chances of scaring are high because we have Keyloid skin.

She got into a huff calling him racist and found a doctor to do the surgery... now 5 nose jobs later she looks like Michael Jackson.....

Listen to Professionals , it’s okay to be told no...

"I’ve got a fair sized rack & have my sternum tattooed. It’s one of my favourites & actually looks pretty good.

I’d say it’s more down to design & tattooists ability to execute a decent design than body type.

Go for it! They are hot! X

Thank you so much! Good to have an opinion of someone that’s had it done... did the size of your rack interfere with the healing? Xx "

Absolutely not. It was more my bra rubbing on it, which would happen with any size rack. Mine is all dot work, so is super fine & detailed. It’s healed amazingly. Lots of Bepanthem throughout the day kept it tip top x

I would consider taking the advice of the tattooist personally, they're the experts.

That’s completely different. Keloid scars can be a real issue and I’ve known patients to be disfigured by them facially.

If the tattoo artists was going solely off aesthetics, then the OP is completely right to be a bit perturbed.

"I hope it hasn’t put you off having one altogether, maybe get a stencil first and see how you like it before you commit? I’d swerve that tattooist though since he’s not confident he can do a decent job of it!

It definitely hasn’t Hun I’ve been messaging a few on the mainland and they said no problem at all with size xx"

There's a good shop over in Gosport.

"I don’t think he insulted you at all, he gave his professional opinion, he doesn’t think it’s the right area for you to get tattooed, to me that sounds more professional than someone who will tattoo anyone anywhere and just pocket your money. "

Exactly , and that’s why he’s one of the best in the area as the op said .

Oh not at all. You’d get a plasterer and then get it painted. If the tattoo artist did it because he’s worried about healing processes, then that’s fair enough. If it was because he didn’t think it’d look as good on a bigger person, then I too would be a bit annoyed.

I would suspect you are being advised against it for healing reasons.... I dont know about you but the area under my boobs gets quite sweaty and that would leave the unhealed tattoon very open to infection even on the most hygeinic lady.

It’s not wrong to be annoyed when someone tells you their honest professional opinion....

It’s just that some people just don’t like to hear the truth.....

For example: If I went to a tattoo artist and asked him to tattoo my face. He tells me I will not tattoo your face because as a black man it will be hard for you to get a job. But he is happy to tattoo any other part of my body...

Now should I call him a racist? or be happy he is thinking about my future and not making a quick dollar...

I agree with this 100%.

A tattoo artist that inks anything on anyone - I'd have serious doubts about having seen so many bad tattoos and badly placed ones..

This artist has taken time to tell you why they think it is not right for you and has integrity to stand by their decision.

Whether you choose to heed their is advice is your choice.

No point in taking a rash decision on an art piece that is with you for a lifetime.

If you are still set on it. Have the outline sketch transferred and review it before the needle hits the skin.

You still have the "get out of jail free" card at that point.

Some tattooists are extremely protective of their work and won't do things that they personally think won't look good because they think it will be negative reflection on them.

Shop around and I'm sure you'll find a tattooist that will be happy to do it and will work with you to design something that is very flattering and works for your body shape.

If it's any consolation I've had tattooists refuse to tattoo me because they like to use bright colours in their work and they were worried they wouldn't look rubbish on my skin tone but others are happy to and go the extra mile to make sure the colours mix well with my complexion so I wouldn't worry to much about it too much

Having had a lot of tattoos done myself. We have to also respect that we are showing off the tattooists work.

He may have given an honest opinion based on the fact that the tattoo may not look right under your breasts.

It’s rare a tattooist will turn down work unless there’s a valid reason .

Personally I’d listen to the tattoo artists professional opinion rather than a random person on fab telling you otherwise to make you feel better.

As you said, he’s one of the best around your area. So his opinion should be listened to.

Guys I take on board everything you have all said, I don’t need to take others opinions to feel better about myself I wanted opinions of others similar sizes to me that have had this done... I’m not silly I will always take advice from tattooists but I am going to get a second opinion as for me it’s something I’ve considered for a long time. And really there is no harm in that there are other fantastic tattooists aswell around that can offer me advice.

Thank you for all of your input xx

If you've been advised by a professional then you probably shouldn't do it. Surely they worried about how the tattoo will heal with your breasts covering the tattoo

I think the OP mentioned that it was nothing to do with healing processes, but purely on an aesthetic level.
