Okay, I've had a few glasses of wine, and I've always wondered this... I know we have lots of LBT members with tattoes. As you lose (or gain) weight, have they shrunk nicely, or do you have a bunch of tattoes that look like something out of a Salvador Dali painting? My sister has a big tiger on her stomach, and I've always wondered if it turned into a big blob after she got pregnant...

Just a side note: my mom is so cute... she was just talking the other day about how so and so's daughter had a tattoo and none of her kids would ever get one. Little does she know 3 of her 5 kids have one, lol. (not me - I was too chicken, but maybe when I get down to goal!!)

My tats are doing just fine, and my wife has one one her back that so far looks like its doing ok.

the ones i think will not be so good are the ones on "back arms".

(that cute little tiger might look like hes waving good bye. )

An ex of mine had a lightening bolt tattooed on his manhood! Now tell me that didn't hurt? How in the world, he did that I don't know, but that is just CRAZY!!!

lots of tequila !

Heather...we are too much alike!!!! I know a guy who tattooed a rebel flag on the head of his!! :faint: But I also heard he was well-endowed! He was one of my old artist from like 6 years ago. I never saw it THANK GOD!!!!

I need to put a pic of mine on here. I really can't wait to get another.

I'd have to tattoo an entire hurricane, a lightning bolt would get lost.

I think I'll get some flesh-colored tattoos that no one can see.

BTW... Yea STEELERS!!!!!

OKay Paul, make sure you post pictures of your flesh colored tats, I wanna see!

:funnypost: Paul...you are nuts!

*laughs and laughs*

Big Paul.. you too funny. Of course its taking ALL of my will power to keep from making comments about how huricanes can really blow *slaps hand over mouth, eyes wide* oops

Don't forget the *swells*! :heh:

Hellooooo here, nobody even mentioned the pain :omg: . On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most pain, how bad was it? I want a little ghost on my upper outer thigh, but I'm such a wussss. .

OUCH

All I want is OZZY on my fingers and I was told the letters would distrort ALOT if I lost alot of weight.. so I am waiting and MAYBE by then I will get the stupid idea outta my head, right now I feel if I dont get an Ozzy tat before he goes and dies on me, i will never forgive myself..

They do hurt. And location can play a factor too. It feels like a cat-scratch basically. I have heard it described as an annoying pain that you want to stop, but you grin and bare it. Then some people totally get in a zone and pay no attention to the pain. DO NOT USE NUMBING AGENTS!!! They only make the pain worse when they wear off and then you are screwed. Take some Tylenol before and have water and chew gum. That is how I have gotten through mine, especially my back. Tops of the feet hurt, soft underside of arm is tender, elbows I have heard are a bitch, ribcage hurts, etc....you just have to try it and see what you can handle. But you have to be sure that you want it because once they start and you make them stop and not finish...you will have a tat that you are unhappy with. And I say this with a little knowledge...I co-own a tattoo shop with my mother-in-law.

When I had my little butterfly done I was a little intoxicated and the outlining of it didn't hurt at all, but when they were coloring it in... OUCH!!!

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