I know it is early to be thinking about a goal weight or milestone tattoo, but a lot of the posts got me thinking. I haven't always been heavy, in fact when I was younger, I used to model. I gained my weight after an injury & battle with depression. And with my children, came so much more. I was thinking of a puffer fish tattoo of some sort. I thought it was very significant, because as they get frightened- they blow up too. (yes- I am a nerd and I have about 5 varieties of this fish in my sal****er tank now- they have the coolest personalities). It is symbolic of my battle I think (though- the puffer may be downing a can of pringles- lol) Any thoughts?

Hi Peggy! The cupcake tattoo is an awesome idea! I might be partial since I have a cupcake on the inside of my wrist though! But it is one of my fave's...after it healed I made it a point to lotion up with cupcake/vanilla scented lotion and spray body spray on there and let people know that its a scratch n sniff tattoo =) The cherry on top of the cupcake is a skull (i like skulls!) but also represents my struggle with sweets and weight. Hope you enjoy finding your tattoo as much as I did !

ZOMG I love it so much!

Ive also had to take EVERYTHING out for every surgery Ive had. Its a big loss. The only piercings that I saved this last time were my 2 lip piercings. Oh well, its exciting to get to have them done again.
