Did anyone get a Tattoo to celebrate their Weight Loss? If so could you post a pic of it? I am thinking of getting one when I hit my goal weight and I'm just wanting some ideas!

Try the search function, I've seen some really creepy ones over the years and some cute ones.

I know you're excited, but please consider the future. I have 8, so I'm not anti tattoo, however, not being morbidly obese is my new normal. Outside of OH I don't discuss weight loss surgery. I can't imagine if I had a tattoo telling everyone about it.

I have not had surgery yet and I never thought about it. I have 3 tattoos and will seriously consider getting one to commemorate such an important part in my life. I would probably get a little devil... just a thought.

Your body is your paradise so why not celebrate it!

Great Idea!

Ugghh, a tat of the Doc & calling him the wizard? Plus it's so big! I hope she got a coverup.

The cupcake with a cherry on top really makes it complete. I often wonder if she licks her arm.

Keep in mind where you put the tattoo. You don't want to put it somewhere & end up getting plastics. You don't want to ruin your tattoo!

I haven't gotten a wl specific tattoo yet, but I figure a tat of a butterfly would be a nice one. A symbol of change but doesn't scream oh I had wls & that's the change. Only a change known by me.

There's plenty of symbols out there that can be of value & known only to you, like a infinity tattoo, a symbol that you're in it for life, etc etc. My tattoo is about my love of bikeriding & the wing represents my father who passed away & also loved to ride his bike.

Good Luck with whatever tattoo you choose.
