if yes, what u get done or thinking of getting?

i did. i got a koi fish on the outside of my lower leg when i lost 50 lbs. i still have one more sittin before its done. when i reach my goal weight, ill have another koi done on the inside of the leg to make the full sleeve. the koi fish has meanings: bein a non-conformer, kinda swimmin ur own path. and it also symbolizes goin thru adversity and overcomin. i also have plans for full back piece to be done after i loose the weight.

Not yet, but I do plan on getting one. It will be my first tattoo.

I was reading on a thread a while ago where someone got a tattoo of their band date in roman numerals on their wrist or something. I really liked that one, but may end up with something else. Who knows..?!?! I'm a long ways to goal so I'll probably change my mind a thousand times before I get to the point of being ready to get a tattoo.

I got one on my upper right shoulder. I had my surgery June 13th, 2008 which was Friday the thirteenth, my favorite day. So I got a tattoo with die, on one dice i it had 1 and the other dice at 3 for 13. It has pink flames and cherries. With the wording lucky thirteen

i didn't get a tattoo but at 60lbs loss.. i got a monroe peircing..

wow!

I've been wanting a tattoo that signifies being banded too.

Everyone always says to get something that actually means something to you, and this is something that means alot to me.

I've been thinking about maybe a butterfly, symbolising being free and 'light' and careless. I'm still not sure though either.

Let me know if you get any other good ideas

xo

Which looks super cute, btw.

hi all. i have a few tattoos but theyre on my ankles, feet, wrist. the places that are skinniest. so it has always been a dream to be able to get a tat someplace on my torso..but have never felt comfortable doing it bc noones will see it bc im always covered and ill want to show ppl but be too embarrassed. so i vowed that when i hit my goal i am going to get a pirate ship either on my side or my back on my shoulder..thats deff been the places i;ve been afraid to venture and cant wait til i can finally feel comfortable enuff to get it there. pirate ship has no significance..i just love pirates and nautical folklore (way before the pirate mania) lol

I got a tattoo two weeks after being banded, it's my second, and it was for my birthday but also as a memento for my surgery. I got a realistic cherry blossom branch on my foot. If you know anything about japanese and chinese symbolism then you know why I got it. I have pictures posted on here of it. It turned out so great but the pain was almost unbearable...:tongue2:

I plan on getting a line from a song. Don Henley- Boys of Summer: "Don't look back, you can never look back" I also plan on getting both my feet done but thats not for my surgery, just me!

I have one now on the inside of my ankle, but when I lose all of my weight, I plan on getting a new one. I know I want another butterfly, I just haven't decided where or what it will look like yet.

My grandma died a year ago and she was an artist so I want to get my favorite painting of hers down my left side. Because it's going to be down my side I want to wait until I'm at goal weight. She wanted me to get this surgery sooo bad, so This tattoo represents her and represents my surgery.

Not into tatoo's, but I am considering a Prince Albert.

SO glad someone made a post on this! Yes, when I get the surgery, after I'm healed that is -.- I'm going to finally finish my sleeve and start my back piece that I hadn't been able to start since of the um *cough* back fat lol. On my left arm I was also thinking of getting a portrait of Tori Amos and my sugar glider Peaches (yes I know random it's okay! I love it) and the back piece is still in construction, but so far it's a mix between Giger-esque/Kwan Yin/Lilith. I can't wait to have my canvas smoothed out and ready to be painted again :tongue2:
