I'd like to get to know you........

My "BELIEVE" tattoo just this past Wednesday.  


I want to see your tatoo, pictures pretty please.  Facebook, here, just let me seeeeeeee :).  Where might I ask, lmao.

Here it is Dana,  I had designed it several months ago based on something I saw on FB.  One of Yvonne's "talks" during RYD was about "believing" and I knew it was time to remind myself everyday that I have to BELIEVE. 

It is on the outside of my left calf, about midway between knee and ankle - that way I can choose for it to show or not depending on where I'm at and what I'm doing (you know all that professional look stuff LOL!)

The picture isn't the greatest, but it's not real easy to take a picture of the side of your calf with a cellphone! LOL

Cool, I like that but I'm a chicken, I don't want pain that isn't rewarding.  I've thought about getting a dragonfly to represent my WLS (I'm different I don't want a butterfly) but have decided to hold off; can't imagine being 90 and sporting a tatoo it just seems wrong for me.

It was my first. I was wishing I had taken a Xanax for the anxiety but honestly it didn't hurt at all. Afterwards it felt like a slight sunburn. If I live to be 90 I will still have the need to BELIEVE. LOL
