I love tattoos! They tell my story and have significant meaning to me. I have 5 right now. One of them is large across my chest. I want to get one to signify my journey thru all of this but I'm not sure what it would be. If you had to get a tattoo that represents what you have been thru with this weight loss journey, what would it be?

Maybe a compass...or a butterfly. A compass can represent a journey, a butterfly represents change

I am loving seeing the pictures of everyone's tattoos. I have three and am going next week for number four. My last one has a lot of meaning to me. It is in honor of my weight loss, to remind me how far I have come and signifies the new beginning to my life. I absolutely love it.

I have a teal butterfly on the left upper breast. My story is not as "special" as some on this thread. I got it after I was divorced and was hanging out with co-workers (I never worked while I was married) so I was about 34 years old. My new co-workers were surprised that I didn't have a tat so they took me out to get one.

Even though I was an adult when I decided to get the tat, I hid the fact from my mother for another 5 years. She found out when the family was together for a reunion and I was laying out at the pool and my suit wasn't covering one of the wings.

I have 12. I just got my last 2 yesterday for my 30th birthday.

Rose that got covered by tribal butterfly

Stars and the moon on my lower back

3 butterflies representing me and my boys on my ankle

Stars going over left shoulder

Saying on my leg

Sister tattoo on my foot

Flowers with daddy's girl written on my right shoulder

My son whose passed footprint from the day he died and it says my little angel and his name with date of birth and death

I have flowers with my other sons names on my forearm

And my 2 new ones

Right shoulder says sometimes you have to fall before you fly

Left shoulder over sons footprint says with pain comes strength

Most of thwm mean a lot to me!! 2 of them I could do without but they are part of me.

I have around 20 or so tattoos at the moment. Some are just a few inches big and are dotted about. some are quite large and cover a lot if my arm and chest and some cover a lot of my back. I love my tattoos and I only plan to get more. I'm working up my left leg now and once I hit my target weight I plan to reward myself with a big very detailed image on my right side ribs and side. I'm saving up for it already as it will cost several several hundred pounds I think.

Enjoy your tattoos, make good choices you'll have them for life x x x

I have 6, including a full back piece that covers a terrible scar from open heart surgery. I'm getting a new one to remember my niece who died on January 4. I have a great portrait of my soul dog Otto, who passed away three years ago. The only problem is that my tattoos have drooped because of loose skin...unexpected wls side effect!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
