Anybody got tattoos??



Recommended Posts

This is my Gypsy Skull freshly done. I love her so much. She represents becoming free from the fear of dying. (It was a religious experience that brought me that freedom) I don't think EVERY tattoo MUST have a special meaning, but this one is very meaningful to me. My next will be my life's quote: Torn Between Heaven and Hell. (That one will ALSO have a strong meaning in my life). My husband tatted that across his chest. At first, I was pissed cuz I felt he "stole" my idea and got it FIRST.... But then I realized that he did it to honor me. I have a keeper!

No tattoos here. Wrong generation....but I have a funny story.

My daughter had mentioned that she wanted a tattoo and I had a serious meltdown. Flash forward a couple of years....she was in labor with her third child (hard labor) and the nurse decided that she needed a sonogram. So they bring in the machine and my daughter holds up her hand in the "stop" signal and says' date=' "Wait....first I have to tell my mother something". Seems she had a tattoo on her stomach (of all places) and had successfully hidden it from me for over a year.[/quote']

I can't believe I'm reading this!!! I got my first tattoo when I was 19 in a hidden part of my body (to the right of my bladder) during labor the same exact thing happened, except I didn't have time to tell the nurse to WAIT.... And my mother saw my tattoo. She cried... And my hubby told her not to worry, that I was a married woman already. She didn't like that much.

I have 5, one on my wrist of music notes, one on my hip of the love Chinese symbol (18 years old), 5 stars on my shoulder, a quote on my back "different eyes see different things, different hearts beat of different strings" a rush song, then my last one is a peacock cover up down my back. I really want more when I'm skinny! Love them!

I have two. The attached is of my maple leaf in fall color on the top of my foot. It's in memory of my niece, Autumn, who passed away.

I have another tattoo on the front of my shoulder of a butterfly. The butterfly is 8 years old and very faded. I want to get a sunflower put over it next summer to Celebrate my surgery and journey

My favorite one is my Jiminy Cricket on my shoulder. Jiminy stands for a person's conscience, so my Jiminy has a black eye, his arm is in a sling and his clothes are a little disheveled. I'm always fighting my conscience..... I try to be a good girl, but well, shit happens

I have 5, the last is a work in progress that will be finished on Weds.

1) an angel frog on a tribal above my right ankle (24 years old)

2) a key with wings. The head of the key has my children's first initials, the shaft of the key says integrity, it's our family word. (Age 37)

3) just breathe on my left ribs (Age 38 minus 4 days)

4) it is what it is on my right ribs (Age 38 minus 4 days)

5) sweet William blossoms with a ribbon saying tu me manques. It is french for I miss you, but the literal translation is "you are missing from me." My son left for boot camp for the marine corps. I know that I will never really see my sweet William again, so it is a tattoo of grief. The thing is, when it's done, I'm done grieving and will begin anxiously awaiting my Marine.

I have several more planned. One in celebration of my Marine, one in celebration of my next son being alive today despite a suicide attempt, one for my oldest daughter. I have yet to get a line on one for my youngest daughter.

I have one tattoo so far, of a beautiful colored flower on top of my right foot. I love it because you can see it when I wear any type of sandal or flip flops. I plan to get a couple more on inner wrists. One is going to be a heart with my daughter's name, and the second one is going to be an anchor to represent my Navy career.

I also have one on top of my left foot. It is a rose with my daughters initials and she also has a rose with mine. I always said I would get one if it was special enough and this was. Open to more but no raging desire...yet. mine is the lighter colored and my daughters is the red one.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
