Kiss my TATTOO!!

Options
Sooooo, I have hit a number of milestones already and I have a few left to go but the biggest of them all is reaching my ultimate goal weight (which I never thought was remotely possible until now) and getting my one and only tattoo. My original ultimate goal weight is less than 2 pounds away which is totally remarkable so obviously my motivation to keep going has skyrocketed. I want something that symbolizes not only how far ive come but the process. I love butterflies but I want something a lot less generic so here is what I am thinking. I would replace the birds with butterflies. The feather would represent the weight loss, the dare to dream the journey, and the butterflies the freedom from what was and moving forward in life. I am less than 30 pounds away so I need to start seriously thinking. I want the butterflies to be various solid colors. Thoughts? Oh and yes it will be a tramp stamp because well they are sexy and when I get to 145 I will be sexy!

    I know someone with a tattoo of exactly the same feather as that, but instead with the words 'every breath is a second chance', but the font makes it look like it says 'every breast is a second chance' hahah (:
    Nice design though!

    From tattoo experience i would suggest that you take that drawing to a good shop and ask them to re-position the items (mainly the lettering i feel) Possibly a banner going around the feather? Its a really nice start of an idea though. You can make a good idea great!

    I think it will be great! And you are sexy now!! I agree with the other poster about it not being in color, but that's my tattoo-less opinion. ;) love you!

    Congrats! I really like the tattoo as it is! I know you said you wanted butterflies, but I think changing it would make the feather not make any sense. Why would butterflies come from a feather? I think it's awesome with the birds and birds fly higher!!!

    I agree, keeping it as birds makes a lot more sense.

    I agree about the birds. If you want a butterfly then get two tattoos. Tattoos are like potato chips, you can't have just one. :D

    I am partial to black and grey tats. The color that is available today is amazing but a good artist can make black and grey come alive and it is just so much bolder.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Birds would work with the symbolism of the feather and birds have the freedom of the skies.

    Good for you, I got one when I reached my 40 pound loss, best thing I've done for myself in a very long time. You're gonna love it, and they can be pretty addicting. I'm already thinking of 2 more that I want. :-) congrats!!!

    Black and grey is my favourite too (:
    Also OP- I can't imagine it in the position where you want it to be, is it just me :s it's too much of a fluid shape to fit comfortably there, have you thought about shoulder blade, or along the top of your shoulder instead? Just my opinion:)
