Gotten a Tattoo!!!! Got my butterfly for my birthday last Friday. Never in a million years would I have thought I'd be baring my back and shoulder to a super hot tattoo artist. At nearly 400 lbs I would have been mortified to be that close to naked in public. Whats better is while it's healing I need to keep clothing off of it....which means bearing more skin than I would normally. I went out in public yesterday in a spaghetti strap tank top and capris. Yeah, like I'd have done THAT 140 lbs ago?!?!? I hate my saggy loose arms and still have large rolls of fat but I am at the point where my self confidence allows me to say 'who cares?' I'm going to post pics right now so go check em out!

WOOHOOOO BETH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got one almost 4 years ago. Now, I actually wish I had gotten another before surgery for the "padding" that I needed. I am getting ready to have my next one done. It's so much fun to be thinner than we were huh??? Molly

Oh Yeah, things are looking up in so many ways! I've wanted a tattoo for years...since I was 12. I always wanted a butterfly, I designed mine by the way...I finally got up the courage and don't know why I waited so long. It didn't hurt at all...shockingly! I think I am gonna wind up with a few more...

YAW HOOO!!!! NICE TATTOO!!! You are very creative. That is beautiful. I love the music notes in it. How unique. Congrats on the weight loss. You are doing so well. Obviously it is helping your self esteem, too. Now I want one. I have for a long time, too. Just didn't want to at my previous weight. Now I can't decide where I want it. I was going to get a gerber daisy with two ladybugs on the leaves...one fuschia and the other teal for my boy and girl. I've thought of throwing in a butterfly for the rebirth of me, but don't want to pu**** for my first tattoo. That's even if I ever get the $$ or balls to get one. Hee Hee. Hugs, Tabby
