Think hard about it.: Are you sure about the tattoo? The number one growth industry in the esthetic medicine community is now tattoo removal. It costs at least 5 times as much to have one removed as to have it placed! And if you do achieve weight loss, depending on the location of the tat, there could be distortion. Think very hard about this. Good luck and be safe.
