Disadvantages of hip tattoos

No matter how incredible hip tattoos look on any women, there is, however, one disadvantage. If you lose or get weight quickly, the stretch marks may appear in the middle of your tattoo. As a result, your tattoo design will look unpleasantly. So, if you are not sure about whether you’re going to lose or gain weight soon, you shouldn’t get a tattoo on the hip. Ideally, you should reach a healthy weight and only then ink it. Otherwise, you may be very disappointed with the result.
