Does anyone have or plan on getting a post op tattoo? One of the girls in my local support group has one along the lines of "a new life a new beginning" etc on her arm. I have a tattoo planned out that I actually wanted prior to even considering WLS and now it's perfect for a post op tattoo haha. I want to get corset ribbons tattooed on my ribs to remind me not to "have to loosen them" so to say. I've also been waiting years to get tattoos because i didn't want to be fat when I got them, so I'm also thrilled to be able to start getting the other 3 I have planned out

I got a tattoo on the inside of my arm : it's a Heart with the letters TYJ = Trust Your Journey

I'm going to get a Phoenix, They symbolize rebirth.

My hair dresser had surgery 5 years ago and she got in never again on her chest.

My left arm has a sleeve tattoo that needs to have the rest of the color put in. Surgery is August 1 On August 13 I sit for more ink can't wait for both dates to come

Paul, my surgery is on August 1st also, I can't wait !! good luck to you.

I did the tattoo to prove that I wasn't a chicken. I loved it when I got it done. After about 2 years having it I decided it was the worst idea ever. I now regret it & want to remove it.

After my surgery I had "que sera sera what will be will be" tattooed on my ankle. Didn't have any meaning to the surgery just personal things I was going through in my life. But I love it. I call it my mid-life crisis tattoo. But now that I have seen some of the posts regarding tattoos for our new lives after weight loss it makes me go .... Hmmmmm. So I will have to think on that and may get another...

I'm most definitely getting a tramp stamp......have always wanted one but was never "small" enough to feel comfortable to get it done!

Sure....

It's on my left ankle. Even though I regret it now. It means I love flowers & fishing.

Yeah, I regret the tats I had when I was younger. It cost me a fortune to have a small heart lasered away. No new tats for me! Lol

From shoulder to wrist would do it all over again hurts like hell and still needs color on shoulder that will be done the 15 of August
