Tattoo???

It took me years to finally go and get mine because I was told time and time again that "someday" I would regret it. I finally got the courage and got it done. it's a large tat on my back and i LOVE it!!!! I've had it for 7 years and I am ready to get it brightened up. I really dont want more...I am happy with the one I chose because, it has meaning behind it. I say GO FOR IT!!!

Tattoos are great if chosen wisely. I have 2 also. One is a butterfly on my left shoulder. It has no significance but my mom and I got one at the same time so that was time spent with her. And my 2nd one is a tramp stamp, yes on my lower back. It is a larger butterfly with my daughters name above it and big blue eyes in the butterfly! I love them and am still deciding on what I want next!

:laugh: i love it when other people call it a tramp stamp. lol

I got my first tattoo not to long ago and I am very proud of it. I lost over 100 pounds and overcame a major deppression so I decided to get a butterfly symbolizing rebirth and the symbol for strength is right above it. I am a new person now not just my appearance but my whole out look on life. I love your idea for the numbers. I think if that is what you want it would beautiful. It might even keep you motivated. When I lose the rest of my weight I want to get another one that symbolizes beauty. For the first time in my life I can look in the mirror and be happy with what I see.

Ive wanted a tattoo of the quote in my signature for quite some time, myself.
Its a quote from Edgar Allen Poe and it has a LOT of significance in my life....its just a matter of wear to put it. Word tattoos are hard to place well.

I love the quote and the idea of having it tattooed. I would think it would be cool to have it really small around your wrist. That way it could be covered by a watch if you wanted. Just a suggestion.

Tattoos can be a great thing. As much as each one of us are unique and individual so are the tattoos. As a massage therapist I see lots of tattoos of all different kinds, and with each one of them ... They always have a story. I can say that 95% of the tattoos I have seen the people don't usually regret them. Normally if someone is going to put something so permanent on their body they really think about it and choose something that matters to them. As the second post said on this subject "When you know, you know"

I have seen everything from pink ribbons to tributes to fallen solders, childrens names to buttlerfles and lady bugs from chinese symbols to porttraits all of theses things simply meant something dear to the indivdual who got them.

yes, sometimes (5%) people who get a tattoo just go and get one and later look back and think twice. There are options out there.
1. Cover up tattoo (a good artist can do that)
2. Lasers t
3. There is also a cream out there that significantly will fade tattoos.

As another person said earlier.. it is more "where" you get the tatoo. In my experience from talking to people, as long as you can find a creative way to hide it (for work, or if you want that option) What really matters is it means something to "the person getting it"

I don't have a tattoo yet other than my makeup (eyeliner and eyebrows) which I might say are beautiful. But, I do intend on getting something down the line that 'means" something dear to me. I will know when I find it. I am just keeping an open mind.

I think the starting weight in roman numerals is an awesome idea!
I currently have one tatt, a butterfly inside my right ankle. It actually covers a scar, so it worked out perfectly when I decided to get it. BTW, I was 39 when I got it!

My next tatt will be a pink breast cancer ribbon with my sister's initials under it, for my sister who is currently fighting the battle. I just can't decide where to get it; I only know I want to be able to see it myself, not have to look in a mirror to see it. Any suggestions???

bracelet?
foot?

I have a tattoo on my right forearm starting from my inside wrist up to my elbow. I won't call it a half sleeve because it's not that big. It's in recognition to my family - my daughters and my husband. I'd like to continue it up my bicep and shoulder and across my back.

I have another on my neck. It's a ying-yang triskell. The triskell is a celtic symbol for the father, the son and holy spirit. I added the ying yang in each circle to represent finding balance in being Mother, Wife and just MYSELF...

And I have my black cat on my right ankle - so that it crosses my path everyday :glasses:

Beautiful Tattoos!

I plan on getting a star for every pound lost either across my shoulders or up my leg. There will be 135 total. Your idea is really cool, too

I really love this idea!! I have a small star on my left foot and I want to make it a trail of stars on my foot and maybe I can get 1 star for every 10 lbs I lose! Great Idea!!

Once I reach my goal weight I am going to get FOREM ABEO tatted on my right wrist...it means FOREVER CHANGED in latin...

You'll have to post pics once you get yours done!
