Can tattoos disguise bat wings?

just my 2 cents...I was told to wait a year after goal, because your skin will change/adjust during that time...you never know where it's going to settle....then decide to tat or not.  to cover scars is great..but if you think people are not going to see the bat wings, tat or no tat, I kinda think you're only going to fool yourself.  sorry hun.  oh, and as for career choices, people can and do change those several times in a life time, so gotta think twice about that too.  I know someone (he's 50ish now) who is still to this day wearing long sleeved shirts every day, even in summer, to his job.  

best of luck!

Take this advice for what it's worth. If your wings are anything like mine, might I suggest getting a flag done on them. That way you will always have old glory flapping in the breeze.  🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸   That will distract the stares.

Granted, I'm not into tattoos.....but I think if you get more it should be because you want them...any side benefit is a plus. I think if I'd tattoo'd a 120 lb bikini girl on my 300lb body, I wouldn't be fooling anyone.

Perhaps get a beautiful shoulder piece to distract from your batwings.  That loose skin may be hard for an artist to tattoo anyways- it would probably end up looking distorted.  I was fortunate that I didn't get any loose skin under my arms so my tattoos still look like they did before surgery.
