Well, I got sleeved Monday and I feel that I need a tattoo. Anyone got a tattoo after their surgery?

I love that idea! Too bad I'm spending every penny I can scrape up on the surgery. Hope you share photos of the tattoo once you've made the decision.

It’s going to be a while, but I’ll definitely post it.

I'm right with u bro. I got sleeved on Oct 5th. I got tattoos now but I'm getting both sleeves filled in and a ton more. All over as long as I can hide em with the suit ill be wearing in my career I just graduated college for. How u holding up post op ?

Mainly abdominal pain. I tend to sleep on my side and I can really feel the discomfort. I am sure it will be gone by the end of the week. What’s your major?

I just got a really big one done this summer, but I am definitely going to get one once I hit goal Any excuse for a new tat lol but I'm thinking I'll do some sort of minimalist roman numeral thing, like HW-GW (so CCC-CLX)under one of my wrist tattoos.

Please share pics of tats or tat ideas! I love seeing the artwork. This is the one I got done this summer. Watercolor style, shows my journey on where I've lived: Cardinal is state bird of VA and IL, Oriole is state bird of MD, and a cherry blossom branch for my career in DC. Got it when I moved back home to IL

I love it!

I have several already, but I would love to get a thigh piece once I'm down some weight and my muscles are more toned!!!

Don't have one yet but seriously considering one. I'm only a few pounds shy of my personal goal. This will be my first and only tattoo. So gotta make it a good one

It’s only Day 4. Not sure on the calorie intake. My stomach is gurgling when I am eating, drinking and when I’m doing nothing. I am even having a hard time figuring out if I am full or not. So much to learn!

I'm thinking of getting my hummingbird tat on the corner of my shoulder. Solid black. I think it's my spirit animal. I'll add more to my collection when I hit my gw.

Oh I love this idea. I have a few tatts in the planning phase right now I am 5 years cancer free and still need my survivor tattoo but wow I love love love love the Roman numerals idea !! I will probably steal that idea!!

I really liked the idea of a Phoenix, a bird rising from the ashes of my,past and flying on shining iridescent,wings into the futures Doesn't have to be large, not looking for a sleeve, maybe on the inside of my left wrist. The ancients used to believe the left arm and especially the left ring finger. had an direct,blood vessel link to the heart.
And if I didn't have the lymphadema poor circulation in my lower limbs I would have,a small angel with my son Kevin' s birth and death dates on either side . Somewhat like 5-7-1976?1-11-2008. done form me, not necessarily for the world to see. My spirit animal would be,the bumblebee. If you think that borders on strange, let me explain. The little bumblebee ?is aerodynamically impossible. His little wings are too short to hold up his fat body. Nut no one ever told him this so he keeps flying until the day he dies. That's me, no one told me I didn't deserve Bariatric surgery, well a few did try, they were wrong on other things so I figured they were in error here too. So I fly or plod onward toward the goal, making a loud buzzing noise so they know I'm coming. And my wings beat a syncopated rhythm against the fog and pollution of life.?
