sorry this is my first post and I hope I am posting it in the right spot...I am thinking about getting a tattoo once I lose the weight I am wanting to lose....Has anyone gotten a tattoo inspired by your weight loss...if so what did you get and where on your body did you get it...?

    How about an image of the pre-weight loss you!

    A permanent reminder and better than sticking it on the fridge door :smile:

    DO. NOT. GET. A. TATTOO. OF. YOUR. FAT. SELF.

    I only have two period, and both are for a very special person in my life. When I lose the thirty pounds I need to lose, I'll probably get, "Free" on the nape of my neck, but that's all I got. -shrugs-

    You know how people get little ribbons just round a wrist or ankle? How about a measuring tape? haha that sounds silly but I bet it would look good when drawn by a professional :P
    Or how about a little dumbell/bike/some other sport or fitness that you used on your journey (if you did)?

    Also, I agree, DO NOT GET A PICTURE OF YOUR FAT SELF. Haha.

    something symbolic maybe? e.g. a butterfly could represent change/growth and freedom (from the trappings excess weight brings)

    I agree with getting words or something that means something special to you. After me losing my weight and keeping it off, I decided to get 2 tats myself. I have one down my ride side that spells LOYALTY in cursive and the other one is down my left side that reads TRUST. I got those 2 because those are 2 very important characteristics in my personality and that I look for in other people's personalities.

    I'm working my way up to a marathon and after I do it I am getting 42.1(kms) as a tattoo. I also want a butterfly to symbolise freedom.

    When I finish my first half marathon I'm going to get "Do or do not, there is no try. 13.1" tattooed on me somewhere... not sure where yet, but I have a while to figure it out. lol

    My husband suggests this:

    get a tatoo of yourself now on a place that will shrink as you lose weight so that later it will be small and represent the skinny you

    I was just talking about this with a friend. I have 2 tattoos already and thought I was done. Then my friend got a tatto of the tree of life on her forearm and has a full back tattoo and they look awesome! Her new tattoo really inspired me to want to get a tattoo once I complete my weight loss journey. I'm not sure what I want either but I want something artistic bc the ones I have aren't really artsy. And I'm playing around with the idea of getting half a sleeve or possibly a large back tattoo. I just want to be able to cover it when I don't want to show it. But whatever you decide and get I'm sure it will look awesome! Here's to our future tattoos! ^_^

    I was thinking about getting something like this.

    chain-tat.jpg

    It is a quote from Dimebag Darrel, the guitarist from Pantera and one of the greatest metal guitarists ever. Before my journey to become healthier and stronger it described my relationship with my family and friends. Now I find it inspirational on actually becoming stronger and I listen to Pantera in the gym which helps me push myself as hard as I can.

    I got one. It was supposed to be when I lost a 100lbs, which I hit last thanksgiving. I just got the tattoo a few weeks ago though. It is the word "believe" across the top of my foot. I might have a pic uploaded of it actually. :)

    I actually plan on getting my puppys paw prints when I get down to a lower weight, since he'll be my running buddy when I'm finally fit enough to run! I'll be getting them done on my left hip!

    When I lose my weight, I want to get one on my hip. Some place sexy where I can say "Yeah I can pull this off"

    Haven't you ever noticed how many women get butterflies?

    Anyway I don't plan on getting one because of weight loss, but I do plan on getting one when I get to my goal weight, only to make it look better. Not sure what but maybe on back.

    I'm getting 270 with a Ø through it on my foot... not sure which foot. I'm doing this at 100lbs lost so I can never forget my highest weight!

    I plan to get comedy/tragedy drama masks on my hip - I've always wanted that tattoo but never saw any point to getting one somewhere that I'd never show it!
