should i be thinner or fatter getting a rib tattoo?

5 pounds shouldn't drastically change you and depending on where you lose it some times that doesn't make much of a difference. If you have bony ribs then you will feel some pain. Just try to relax and breath while they are doing your tattoo, don't tense up that makes the pain worse.

I'm not sure why but for myself, it was easier to get tattoos skinnier than heavier. When I was chubby it seemed like my fat areas were sensitive and the areas where the bones were closer to the surface were easier, and its stayed true as I lost more weight.

I really think your ok to get the tattoo...@ your wt & ht yout tattoo artist should know how n which tattoo would look good on ur frame...just pick the right one..

goodluck...post it n share..

you're skinny. you don't even need to loose weight. but if you do, wait until after the tattoo. the skinnier you are ,the more it will hurt.

fatter, the more the skin is stretched the less it will hurt because the pain nerves are spread out more.

I should rip the ribs from your chest! Death to humans!! D=<

google it girl!
