WLS inspired tattoos
Who has them? Can you show us pictures? I am seriously considering doing one when I reach goal.
I have always wanted a tattoo but I'm a big baby and I never thought of something meaningful enough before now.

I thought about getting a tattoo - on the skin I was going to have cut out. That way I could say I got one, but not have to worry about not liking it after.

I saw one person's tattoo on here. It was on her wrist with the weight lost and something else...don't remember exactly. Got me to thinking and I saw a phrase on Pinterest that I love and feel is perfect for me. "One day can change everything" I am going to add my surgery date below that. That says it all for me. I have 2 other tattoos, (and I am 65) and each of them has great meaning to me. My first was a sunshine on my foot. I always sang "you are my sunshine" to my kids and my grandkids and they have always loved it and associate it with snuggling with me. My second is on my ankle and is an American flag banner with red and blue large stars (one for each of my kids. Red for the girls and Blue for the boys) streaming behind it. And 13 small stars for my grandkids also blue and red at the end and across the top of my foot. These are the two most important things in my life...my country and of course my wonderful family. I only did my feet because that was the only place I felt I wanted to display. This time I might do somewhere else because I will be proud of all of me when I reach goal.
Don't be a chicken if you want a tattoo. It only stings a little and leaves a lifetime memory of something important to you...a great reminder of a momentous journey!

I have tats from before the surgery. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I'm going to wait until goal and (possibly) plastics. In the mean time, I really have the itch for more ink. It's pretty addicting. It feels like you're being scratched. At least it did to me. I have one on my ankle (that suuuucked!), a huge one on my left shoulder, and some little ones on my right shoulder.
The one I get will probably be a butterfly coming out of a cocoon on my hip following other butterflies up to my ribcage. It's going to hurt like hell, but I can manage. :)

i just got one the other night. It Say Believe the B is a pink heart. I found it on Pintrest. I put it on my wrist and it is there to remind me to believe in myself. For me that has been one of the hardest parts. I have to do a lot of positive talk to myself when working out. This whole journey has been so mental for me.
