Tattoo

Anyone have/seen any cool tattoos that represent fitness/health/being active? I think it would be fun to have one but I think it would kind of look more stupid than anything. HAHAHA

if you find a good artist to design one I bet it would look rad!

I will be giving myself a reward of a shooting star tattoo when I lose 11 more lbs. Though its not a tattoo specifically sports related I did lose the weight by exercising and playing sports..... personally get a tattoo of what YOU want, dont worry about what others will think, its gonna be on YOUR body for the rest of your life not theirs

I would love to see any health/fitness ones as well

Exercisechic927 ... it may seem fun, but it's permanent, so if you aren't sure, my advice would be to seriously think about it first. I know several people who have ones now that they really wish they didn't.

I have one - it took me 7 years to find the right design for this very reason.

I have a Phoenix for rebirth but it wasn't necessarily fitness related, but it COULD be

I have a carrot on my right wrist to symbolize being a vegetarian. I get a lot of comments on it.

That's a great design idea! While it may not be sports related, did you ever consider that it's a great way to remember to stick with it, never give up and always "reach for the stars"

I am a lover of tats, have quite a few, date a tattoo artist... I say meet with one, tell them what you are looking for, give them some ideas of what you'd like in it and let them design one for you that appeals to you. You know you best, you have to wear it forever, and you will know what it represents no matter what is in it so that is all that matters. If it results in others admiring it & giving you great comments on it then that's a bonus of course but not what you are really after:-) A true artist will also know what will & won't work and how & where to place it for it to fit & flow best with your body to give it that extra appeal;-)

Good idea guys thank..I also have had a struggle with some chronic pain issues and getting back into fitness which was my ENTIRE life before having pain....so this journey has been me getting back to what I use to be..... I have tried to think of symbolic types things that are important to me but can't seem to have any good ideas

I have 2 that represent 2 things to me. They are chinese symbols that say "Strength" and "Determination" (or at least I *hope* that's what they saying, seeing as I can't read the language ). I got them after I lost 130lbs and got rid, finally, of back problems. They are on my upper back on either side of the scar I have from back surgery. Now....I gained back 100, but everyday I see them, remember how far I came and how hard I have to work to get it back!

Did you have a spot already picked out for a design? Knowing what size area you are working with is important when designing

I got a tattoo on my 10 year anniversary of being in remission from Hodgkin's Lymphoma, cancer. It is a dusty purple rose, with the thorns on the stem, and a "k" worked into it, but it is not really seen unless I say something, and the rose is actually like a bud just beginning to open. It does not "show" that I had cancer and I have to explain why I got it, but it is a testimony of my survival. It means a lot to me and that is what matters. Use something that represents how you feel about your weight loss and the journey.

Just for you to have the understanding. The purple is the color of the sky at sunrise when the clouds are in a specific position with the reds and oranges. The thorns represent the problems in life, yeah they hurt when you get pricked. The fact that it is a bud opening is that my life is at the beginning, not the end. The rose itself shows that even though there are thorns in our lives the rose out weighs the thorns. Think about it how often did you look at a beautiful rose and notice the thorns. My life is represented by the actual rose itself. Finally, the "k" stands for Kevin. He is my husband. He is the greatest gift God has given me to date (next to my salvation). I am thankful for him and he is the one that made me realize just how strong I really am.

So the tat that you choose does not have to be "sport" or fitness, it just needs to be you. Oh yeah, and the guy that did my tattoo is the one that designed it. I explained to him what it was for and kind of what I had in mind...he is the one that drew it out and made it look awesome!

Be yourself with it honey.
