Hi guys,

I just recently got my 3rd tattoo on my foot/ankle on Tuesday. I absolutely love it! I was wondering if anyone else has any and if so what they are, where and the significance of them. My first one I got when I was 18 on my lower back. It is a dolphin with a moon going through it. I am a swimmer and was still competitively swimming then plus I love dolphins. My 2nd was on my lower hip and is a chinese sign for energy. My 3rd one winds around my right foot/ankle and is a flower with stars around it. Curious about everyone else....

so im thinking of getting a chest tattoo and i was wondering should i wait till i hit my target weight or do you think it dont matter

The one I have on my back is a symbol of my weight loss effort and goals. I got it well before I reached my goal, to help me remember every day what it is I am trying to achieve and to help keep me motivated.

I have several white tattoos on my wrist and my forearm and I always get "what is that?" from the nurse taking my blood or blood pressure. I'm an astronomy buff so I have a bunch of stars, and an astronomy quote. In honor of my weight loss journey I'm considering getting a tattoo of the Mars rovers, Spirt and Opportunity. They were only suppose the run for 90 days when they landed in 2004. Spirt kept going for 6 years and Opportunity is still going today. I think it's a good metaphor and reminder to keep going even if everyone thinks you can't.

I'll be getting a tattoo, hopefully by May when I visit my son in southern Cali so I can show him. I'm the only one in my family that doesn't have one yet. I designed my hubby's viking tattoo and I'll be designing my own. Still deciding on what - it's permanent and has to be done just right.

I was advised to wait till after or the end of my trip before getting a tattoo because you can't swim or go in the sun w/one. My son wants me to get it in Cali. :-) I'll be there from 4/24 - 4/30. It could be a good souvenir of my trip. Aside from going to my son's graduation from boot camp at Parris Island, I've never left New England. :-)

I have the whole top of my right foot with a lotus flower coy and waves. A huge butterfly on my bag and a lil tiny itty bitty lady bug on my bikini line. not sure what I was thinking there. Lol. I'm getting a peacock sleeve. Was thinking maybe just doing a bird sleeve since I like sparrows and owls too! Waiting in that though until after weight loss has come to a slow. Maybe a year from surgery.

I love tattoos! I have 3 and it's definitely not enough :-) I'd like to wait till I lose a lil more lbs though before I continue my addiction lol.

I have two. The first one a dragon on my right hip. The second is two dragons, water and fire INA ying yang configuration on the top of my spine. I am going to get earth, air, fire and water on my calves and shoulders as well as akasha on the base of my neck. But first I must reach goal. I have lost 22lbs since sleeved on18 mar.

What a great reward for us to look forward to. It's hard to stop at one or three I think I shall wait until goal as well.

I have about 40% of my body covered in tattoos. I have lost 125 pounds, and they all still look great. I'm only concerned about the big one on my lower back shifting when I have my plastics done.

I have one tattoo that I want changed. It's of dopey from snow white on my ankle. I would like something feminine like flowers on there for a cover up. The other one I've considered is tinker Bell on the back of the neck. There's a part in the movie where she sees her reflection for the first time

I was thinking of getting a tattoo on my side like on my rib cage. I lost 115 and have about 70 lbs to go til I reach my goal weight of 180. Just wondering does anyone know if I get it now will it lose its shape once I reach my goal weight? Most of my weight is in my hips, thighs and lower stomach that I still need to lose and you can see my rib cage at the weight I'm at now. 6'2 and big boned I guess helps in this case. Any advice is appreciated!

I have 16 tattoos and I love them all.

I've lost 56 pounds they all look good.

I'm getting some done tomorrow.

My upper arms don't have tattoos but I really want a big piece there but my arms are super flabby. I'm not okay with :/

I'm headed to California for a little vacation in a couple hours. (YAY!) I'm thinking I may get a tattoo while I'm there as a souvenir of my first EVER vacation alone. :-)
