    I've considered a tattoo for hitting goal as well. I kind of like the thought of an infinite symbol. Because it means "boundless" and it's also a reminder, that this isn't a temporary thing. It's forever.

    I've always wanted a tattoo for when I get to my goal weight. The tattoo I have in mind is very specific and would take a lot to explain, but I've been planning it for about two years now.

    Another tattoo I've recently been toying with the idea of is getting a 'victory dinosaur'. My running buddy and I go alongside the river of the town I'm currently living in for uni, and at the halfway point, we reach a small remote clearing that has loads of massive dinosaur sculptures randomly scattered across it. We've nicknamed them our victory dinosaurs. Here's a picture of my favourite one:

    CUUUTE!

    I really want to get a zia somewhere on me, and a HP quote. :) But, I want both of them to be somewhere that isn't too noticeable... You know? Still gotta be a lady. :)

    I want to get my wand with some swirly magic coming from it and a Patronus-like Gryffindor lion in with the magic. I want it on the top of my foot and I'm drawing it myself. I'm not sure if I will actually go through with it, but it's fun to think about :)


    Nice. Mine will say I solemnly swear that I am up to no good. and my BFF will have Mischief Managed. Haha.

    I am getting a stylized tribal shark when I get to my goal, along with 'el color de mi vida cambio..." and my best friend is getting "...desde que tu llegaste." when he hits his goal :) (the color of my life changed... when you arrived)

    I've always wanted a tattoo on my chest or side, but always knew I'd never have the confidence to show anyone - so I'd like to get something in one of those 2 spots if I can drop another 20.

    They don't actually hurt that bad. They kind of feel like a harsh sunburn for a little while. While it's being done it feels like a cat scratch and the pain depends on where you get it. I actually fell asleep during my last one that was on a fleshy part of my back.

    I've always toyed with the idea of getting a small tattoo either on my wrist or on my ribcage. I used to live in Denmark and it holds a special place in my heart, so I've always thought of getting something Danish-related. I love to travel so I was thinking of getting the quote "Not all who wander are lost" done in Danish which is "ikke alle, der vandrer går tabt". Or "All was well" (the last sentence in the last Harry Potter book) in Danish which is "Alt var godt."

    I'm brand new to MFP so I'm not sure how to chat or add pix but I got my 1st & only tattoo n April. I didn't think of it as a wt goal gift but it was coz I was finally small enuf again 2 get it in the perfect spot. I had wanted a dragon tattoo 4 over 15yrs but had never seen what I liked. I kept my blinders on & wudn't even look coz I thot it wud pass. Needless 2 say it didn't. After I lost my job I saw a phoenix that I thot was beautiful & toyed w/the idea since I have pulled myself from the ashes so many times in my life. Since I knew that wasn't really what I wanted I allowed myself 2 look til I found the perfect...
    Dragony-Phoenix.... It was ALL over! Found It. Modified it. Got it. LUV IT!

    Sum1 tell me how 2 add it 2 this chat & I'll send a pix =) XoXo Ursula

    When I get to 140 (my goal) I'm getting a dragonfly with intricate wings across my lower back.

    If I hit 130 (mfp goal) then I will get a daisy chain around my ankle trailing across my foot.

    I want to get a bunch of tattoos when I reach my gw. But I think the first one I'll get is a wolf with a quote from the song "Hungry Wolf" by X. I also might get a pin-up of Frankenfurter but that is definitely up in the air. LOL

    Frankenfuter pin-up sounds AWESOME!!!!!!

    Good Luck - Tattoos are an awesome motivator . . . before you get one, here are a few things to consider 1st:

    Ask any of your local friends who have them 1st - and find out where they got them done. The most important thing (besides the actual tattoo) is the artist who will be doing it. Good tattoos aren't cheap - Remember tattoos are forever.

    I would also suggest checking out some actual tattoo shops. Make sure they are clean, in a safe location w/ no Board of Health complaints. A good place will answer all your questions, if they don't want to answer them or seem aprehensive - MOVE ON !!!

    * Finding a good connnection and that " trusting-feeling" w/ an artist is also very important.

    Now for tattoos - The best place, in my opinion, where you can start looking (on-line) for ideas is: www.tattoofinder.com


    Good Luck !!

    PS - I've got 2 of them so far and am getting ready for my 3rd !!!

    me and my bestie thought of doing that, too, at one point, but when she heard my idea for what i wanted, she wanted it too! only with her wand and a ravenclaw raven instead of the lion :)

    All this! Except I have three, all within the last year, and I'm itching for #4.

    Most shops will have Facebook pages and post photos of their work. Plus their clients post their photos and tag the artists. So you get to see a LOT more of what they do than just looking through photo albums of their best work. Also take a peek at their spelling and grammar in their postings and descriptions. You don't want an artist who can't spell. :wink:

    Also, if money is a concern (and when isn't it?!), check to see if they offer discounts on purchasing gift certificates. At least around the yuletide holidays, many shops offer certificates for up to 25% off. Buy yourself a certificate and you've got more motivation to reach your goal. Or if you have a birthday coming up, ask for certificates to contribute to your tattoo fund.

    I'm getting the latin phrase "non sum qualis eram" on my wrist. It means "i'm not who i was". Also getting "353" worked in somehow, or "CCCLIII" (353) for my starting weight... :)
