I have thought about it several times...but

  1. I am too chicken to inflict pain on myself for no valid reason...LOL
  2. I shiver at the thought of being 90 years old with a tatoo :unsure:
  3. I cannot imagine putting anything on my skin I wouldnt get tired of. Shoot... I change my couch every 5-8 yrs because I get tired of looking at it.
  4. I would have to find a spot that isnt sagging and that would be tough! :rolleyes:

But more power to you... any reward is a good one!! And if that makes you happy...go for it!

Good luck on your journey.

I got one when I reached mine. I got a tattoo that maneuvered around my port to cover my incision scars.

Absolutely! You deserve it just for being on this journey. Depending on location the pain really isn't that bad.

Good Luck and let us know what you get.

I got a tatoo two years ago (at 59 yrs). My daughter made me do it :rolleyes:

I am planning on getting another one when I reach goal as well.

I have tattoos - 7 of them. They all mean something very special to me, they each have their own story. My last one I got right after surgery when I was feeling like I finally had my life together and could start living for me. It's a butterfly with flowers around it and the quote (From Kelly Rae Roberts) "She could hardly believe all that was waiting when she finally opened her heart". I don't worry about what they will look like in 40 years; I can look back and think about the memories they hold.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
