Do you know any tattoo artists that specialize in tattooing fat people? Preferably located near the US east coast
Hi there! I don't know which state on the East coast you live in, but the fat positive tattoo artist I love and always think of is @bee-rosmyth-art
They do tattoos in Central Florida and have made incredible fat positive designs. (Op, please let me know if you would prefer I delete the previews of your art from this post.)
Just a few examples:

And I had to include this tattoo they did even though it's not of a fat person. This is one of my favorite and most beautiful tattoos I have ever seen (Blue, rainbow, ombre, even vibrant? Exquisite👌)

This is the only fat positive tattoo artist I have personally found, but maybe some followers may have suggestions in the notes? And the three examples I gave of their art don't show how wide a range of tattooing skills that artist has. Those were just the most recent examples on their art blog. They post digital art as well!
I also know that artists sometimes have policies for using their art as a tattoo design. This usually involves paying the artist some money for the use of their art and then having a separate artist actually tattoo the design. So if you see fat positive art you like, check to see if the artist has a tattoo policy or even ask them directly. You may have some luck! One fat positive artist I remember having a tattoo policy is @jijidraws. I believe they've also reblogged photos of their art used as tattoos before if you want an example.
