Calling tattoed bandsters!

Weird...outlines usually hurt more than when they color it in. :) But then too you were a little intoxicated!!! :P:):D

Hmm...my first tattoo (only so far) ended up being much bigger than I had originally planned. I was a little worried about the pain. It took about 2 - 2 1/2 hours of tattooing. It wasn't bad at all. You know how when you fall and scrap a knee or the palm of your hand. It stings but it doesn't throb. It kinda of burns but it's not unbearable. That's how I thought it felt. Everyonce in a while he would get to a sensitive area (usually closer to the bone) and it was a bit more intense. To be honest, the pain of getting the tattoo is nothing to how it hurts the next day. :). But then its all better after that. When I got my tattoo the high from it was better than any drug. I was practically bouncing off the walls with endorphins.

See the outlineing doeesn't bother me at all, its when they keep grinding the colors in that really gets me. My last tattoo was 4 years ago so when I recently had the one on my shoulder I had forgotten how painful they are. The pain is also pleasure, its weird for some.

The one on my shoulder and inner ankle didn't hurt too bad, but the one on my lower back hurt like a mother fu*ker! Everytime the needles hit my spine it reverberated up through my neck and my whole body! Ouch! I was cussing the whole time through that one! Seriously, I was cussing the whole time under my breath and I broke out in a bad sweat!

Here is another picture I didn't have earlier. It's a paw print in honor of my baby girl Tanta. Hence the name. :Banane04:

Hey Suzi,

Sorry to butt in but I resized the photo for you.

To everyone: All the tats look great! I wanted one when I turned 18 but chickened out and got my tongue pierced instead, I also had my belly button pierced (even being 70lbs over weight) but eventually had it removed because it was becoming infected (my tummy folds over and it was dark and moist in that area so it never really healed properly) If I get to goal and if I don't chicken out, I would like to get one on my lower back. Or on the back by the shoulder, similar to Suzi's.

very nice tatoos everyone. I have a butterfly on my ankle and my best friend has the same butterfly on her lower back. I want another one but am waiting for the weight to come off first. On a scale 1-10 of pain I would say 3 or 4. Not to bad at all. To me it felt like a hot razor blade. Once the tat was done no pain at all.

Here's the pix of my tattoo. It's in the middle of my back, at my third chakra. I do need more yellow in it though.

I thought I should add it with all the other bandster tattoos

PAIN?? MMMM to be honest I cant really remember much pain, ...it kind of numbs after it is being done for a minute....i would say the foot and lower back were the worst cause not too much padding on that part of my body!! The foot i do remember it hitting certain spots where it was a shock

Vines -

That looks pretty new. Is it your first? It's addicting isn't it? I would love another but my husband says I already have too many for his tastes. I may however, get one last one at the nape of my back when I reach my goal weight. I would like to get my dog's face or something other near and dear to my heart.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
