    What about a feather? I recently had one on curving around my side/ribs, with a pretty mandala-style pattern inside. I love it! I really want a traditional-style arrow next on the inside of my upper arm, and a girly mandala design on my thigh. And possibly a colourful peony as a cover-up for a boring, old-fashioned and faded rose on my shoulder. I think I'll be done then, but who knows lol!
    Congrats on your weight loss btw!

    I am having the words of encouragement that my children and husband wrote for me in their handwriting tattooed on me. Don't know where because I have plenty of time to decide but that is what I am doing.

    First off let me say congrats on your incredible loss so far but I would not get a tattoo, I'd be afraid I'd regret it down the road but that's just me. I don't have any tattoos (or piercings for that matter) nor do I ever want any but your free to do what you will, it will be a monumental occasion that calls for some kind of commemoration and celebration.

    I feel its a huge part of my life forever now that i dont think i would regret getting one, i also have a few piercings so im into that type of look but i still dont have a tattoo!

    What about two birds. One sitting, and the next one flying off to represent your journey as you sail into it and never look back

    I love birds and flowers! So i was also thinking something along this line, even a budding, possibilities!

    I'd be careful that it wasn't an obvious weight loss reference, because I can't predict what might happen in the future. What if something medically caused me to gain back a ton of weight? How would I feel about the tattoo then?

    Just my thought. If it's more symbolic though it would worry me less.

    When I hit my goal weight in about 50lbs I'm going to get a mandala of my own design on my shoulder.

    I saw this really cool picture once of a woman chiseling her body out of overweight body. It was pretty awesome.

    I'm getting a pair of Apollo wings on both ankles. Getting it done four weeks before my first marathon

    I don't have experience with this, but will that be enough time to heal?

    I had a tattoo put on my back/shoulder saying "she believed she could so she did". This sums up my weight loss journey for me!

    This is literally one of my favorite sayings!

    I would just get a tattoo of something you already wanted. It doesn't have to mean anything related to weight loss. It could just be a reward for a milestone.

    I wanted one when I hit 100lbs. I've lost more than 100 but I still can't decide. I've searched for symbols of determination, perseverance etc. I just can't find anything that I like. Good luck finding something!
