My First Ink!
I have wanted a tattoo for a really long time. I told myself when I reach goal weight I would get one. Well, an opportunity came up that I could not pass down. A little boy of 4 years old that lives near me had heart failure recently. He just underwent a heart transplant and is doing really well!
A tattoo parlor is offering a heart tattoo for $40, and all proceeds will go to this boys family for medical expenses, and the daycare costs for his younger brother while they've been at a hospital in NYC. I will wear my heart with pride, knowing that I did a little bit to help out this family!
If you would like to track the progress of little Derek, you can do so here!

It's awesome to hear the community support Derek is receiving. May his road to recovery be quick.
My first thoughts about getting a tattoo was 11 years ago.
Hubby was recently discharged from a month long hospital stay. I got a small pink/purple butterfly the week he was discharged. It was "surprise" when he came home.0 -
