Belly tattoos

I have a belly tattoo, like everywhere else on my body and I've been the same size since I was 15, skinny, lol. Anybody have a belly tattoo? Did it strech or distort?

Haha when I was 15 and declared id never get married or have kids (I did both) I had a tribal tattoo across my belly hip to hip just above my pubic bone too. I put bio oil on everyday and I got stretchmarks through it. Where its been 5 years theyve gone silver now so it looks like zebra print lol. Im not bothered im going to get them removed as there stretched now. Some people dont even get one stretchmark though some of my friends didnt get any :( haha

my belly tat is looking a little stretched already and i am only 27+2, mine is on the front of my tummy next to the start of my left hip, because it is stretched it looks bigger than before and faded. hopefully it will find its way back to normal, if not i guess i will be getting it touched up after birth :) keep that area very moist cause it might be hard to fix it up with a bunch of stretch marks running through it so make sure you avoid those!!

I have one from my hip to belly button...mine went back to normal the only reason mine became distorted is because i got stretch marks in the tattoo and it made the ink stretch

My sister had a playboy bunny on her hips and her stretch marks were so bad on her hips that you can't even tell what it is anymore :( I have wings on my hips though so I'm hoping I don't have the same luck!

I have a tummy tattoo and both my hips are tattooed, they stretched during my pregnancy but went back to normal after I lost the weight.

I have a belly tattoo. It did get kind of stretched out and funky looking during my pregnancy but I just had my baby a little over two weeks ago and it went back to normal.

I don't but I have a friend who got a cute little lady bug on her belly by her hip bone. After baby it now looks like some kind of angry beetle that's about 3x bigger than the original.
