100 pounds lost tattoo.....

I would really like to get a tattoo to commemorate losing 100 pounds..I would like to get a butterfly made out of measuring tape with maybe some pretty bright colors instead of the yellow measuring tape...I just have no idea how that would look. I am not an artist and would hate to go into a shop not having a clue..any ideas? Thanks guys. Tiffany

Sounds like a great idea to me! I would say find yourself an artist that you are comfortable with and ask them to draw it up for you, shouldn't be a problem for them. Shells

I love that idea. A good artist can take your description and turn it into something beautiful, you already have your clue Shop around for an artist whose work/style you like and then talk to them about the idea. You'll know if they get it and they'll work with you for the right result if they are a good tattoo artist - if not, keep shopping around Good luck and can't wait to see it!

Tiffany, I like that idea. There are lots of butterflies that have yellow - Tiger Swallowtail, Giant Swallowtail, Cloudless Sulphur, Gulf Fritillary, even the Monarch. It would be cool to use the yellow measuring tape with one of them. Maybe take a photo of a butterfly type you like to the tattoo artist and see if they can use their creative talents to incorporate a measuring tape so that it looks natural not obvious. They could make it so that someone *****ally looks at the tattoo would see it sublty worked into the wings or into a swirl. If you get one be sure to post pics.

sounds adorable!!! I have a roll of measuring tape on my arm that was part of my "fat girl's ruin" sleeve...it's the one part of the whole thing that i get the most questions about...lol...so prepare for it to be a conversation starter! any good artist should be able to draw up some cool variations of your idea...so shop around!! be sure to let us know what you decide!!! xxxBecca
