I did it!

I finally got a tattoo on Saturday, after wanting it a long time. Its a purple tribal-type sun, on my upper back . I love it. I was told by a friend that a tattoo is best when it has a special meaning. Mine symbolizes 100 lbs gone and the dawning of a better healthier life!

What a great meaning yout tattoo has!!! I told my hubby that when I am at my goal, I am going to get one across my lower back--like all those SKINNY girls do. Take care! Carolyn

Rebecca..That is Great and your friend and you are so right. I dont get tattoos unless they have a meanign to me. My biggest is a huge celtic knot called a Ceilidh..which is to be the name of our first daughter if we should have one. Said Kay-Lee and means celebration. Im waiting to get anything onh my back till i do drop 100lbs and since my surgery is april 19th of this year..I have a bit to go but ive got it planned out.. NightSun

Congrats on your first tattoo.. Be prepared to get more.. There is no feeling in the world like it and nothing is as valuable as a great peice of art that you want. All tattoos should have special meaning. All 14 of mine do..

Yeah, those things are addictive, aren't they?? I had one done the night of my bachelorette party. Now I have three, and am ready to reward myself with another when I reach the hundred-pound mark.

Hellooooo! I love this board! I have one tat...really two but the pieces were joined together. The first was a large flower with a butterfly on my rt hip done in Oklahoma. The second piece was done years later at Tropical Tattoo in Daytona Beach, FL. The second part is a little egyptian-ish looking girl sitting on a part of the stem made into a swing. The artist was awesome. I took my idea to him and he worked it up. I love my ink. I have ideas for about 3 more. The one I want the most is for when I am at goal weight...a long awaited dream being recognized seems the perfect occasion. Be blessed and be well, Jill
