The proof is in the ink... our bodies vs. our minds

I think it's soo interesting that people always tell me my desire for more tattoo coverage is a desire to cover myself up or hide. Because I, like most of you, plan for more tattoos after some significant weight loss,NOT before. We want to adorn the bodies that we're proud of with things that make us happy,sad,angry,scared,proud,loved etc. We DON'T want to hide anything! I just find it very interesting to see that so many of you feel the same way. My dream body is getting surgery,losing and getting TONS of tattoos. Anyways,feel free to add or disagree, just chat!! xo

I agree with you - but I also feel that If I don't like something about my body, I am going to improve it with ink, be proud, and show it off. Does that make sense? So in a sense I am hiding things I don't like.

My right arm is covering 2 very bad scars that I was ALWAYS embarrassed about. NOW I am PROUD and sport it EVERYWHERE!! It gave me some self esteem - as crazy as that sounds.

My dream too is to get to goal (I had surgery on August 13) and be the person I have alwasy felt inside...yeah covered in ink! lol
