    What inspires you? On my profile is a tat I got of a phoenix. It's my inspiration every day. Reminds me that while I'm going thru so much, out of total destruction, I can rise again, and be even more beautiful than before. But this jes me. All my tats are my artwork. I drew them, and they are meant to remind and inspire me.

    Depends on what you are into. Things that would be inspirational to one person is different then another.

    For me things like an old warrior shield across my back with a ring of Nordic design would be awesome, especially with a leather strap going across to connect to the front with an image of a dragon etched in the center of the shield. But that's only inspirational to me because that's where my roots started thus the reason for Nordic design, the shield being that my life is protected, and the dragon for the spirit that is within me. This would complete my tattoo. I have a Valkyrie head with helm and stone eyes on my right shoulder to watch over me right now - I drew it so it means a lot to me.

    My sister has a design for her new one that incorporates her favorite animal, flower, and phrase. She currently has a dragon eating it's own tail on her foot, the image is the sign for eternity.

    My Dad got barbed wire around his upper arm because it was cool.

    All depends on what you like and think about certain designs. Good luck finding inspiration.

    A tape measure that looks to be cutting into skin, blood dripping down slightly for affect the tapes says something motivational to you example "Fitness for life" "Blood and Sweat to get here" "Never going back"

    Silly thing popped in my head- a cartoon potato lifting a barbell above its head under it says one hot spud. (please don't dis me on that one it's was funny to me :S)

    You should get a hello kitty tattoo. Then when you hit your target weight, kick everyones *kitten* who made fun of it.

    I'd go with something that goes through a metamorphosis. Like a caterpillar/butterfly. Like maybe the butterfly coming out of the pupa.

    Agreed with other posts- depends on what you are in to, what are your likes? This is a tough one.

    I have a small shoe with wings that I got after my 1st marathon.....

    i got a tattoo of a cherry blossom tree on my arm. The tree means beauty and represents the cycle of life. Everything blossoms and everything dies.

    This to me is inspirational because I know I have the power to lose this weight and makes me think that I'm still beautiful no matter what.

    I have a plum blossom branch across my back in memory of my son. They signify strength through adversity.

    But no one can pick for you. You have to love it forever!

    This is tiny, so it's hard to see, but it is a kanji for "perseverance"

    It was my gift to myself after shedding a ton of weight and getting fit and healthy.

    If you have to ask other people for ideas, I wouldn't do it. I mulled over mine for several years (back piece- Phoenix Wings) and revised the design several times before I settled on the final artwork. Don't get one on a whim. I have a second smaller tat I very much regret...
