after WLS & tattoos - I have questions

I had WLS in June of 2006. I've lost a significant amount of weight & while I do not see me being able to get plastic surgery anytime in the forseeable or even non-forseeable (is that a word?) future - unless I win the lottery. I have ALWAYS wanted a tattoo - maybe two or three. What stops me is with the weight loss - the saggy skin...etc....is there anyplace on my body that the tattoo won't get stretched out or messed up if I do end up hitting that lottery? Any thoughts or ideas are welcome.

Andrea - i have no advice but just wanted to say welcome! lys

thanks Lys

Hey there Andrea good to see ya!!! Ankle, wrist, shoulder,toes, top of your foot Ive seen some there that are very pretty. Im wanting one too, but I'll get it soon maybe for my 45th b-day! You should come to the support meets it's been forever seeing you! There is one Sat @ noon @ Vinny's in Ruckersville. 

Hey lady - I'm really looking forward to getting one, but not going to ru**** I want to get something that is perfect for me & I have a lot of ideas & I want to check out some tattoo artists before deciding.
I am running another yard sale this Saturday at Lake Monticello at my parents house. It is a Lake sponsered yard sale & my parents participated this past Saturday, but can't this coming Saturday & my sister couldn't participate this past Saturday, but can this coming Saturday. So I'm in charge of this one. I'm just really hoping it doesn't rain. Also, Matt is taking off work to help with furniture moving & stuff.
I am putting the one in Richmond on my schedule though - I would like to go to that one.
Thanks for letting me know though - I appreciate it.

I had my tattoo above the ankle so it should work out there if there are any weight gains or losses - I admit is it bigger than I expected but I still love it! It is my one and only tattoo and I did it on my 50th birthday and to celebrate my 100lbs loss at the time......

Aww that's awesome Jackie. I'm not sure exactly what I want & I might end up in the end with 2 or maybe even 4. Who knows - lol. I'm just happy that people are telling me I CAN get one. YAY!!

I have several...all given to me by my husband. We got a tattoo gun/kit several years ago.  It is cheaper for us!  He does some for others as well.  Good luck with what you decide!

I have one on my right shoulder/back.... its small... didnt change at all...got it maybe 10 years ago... its the stones tongue emblem.    still looks great....  got it small so if i ever wore something sleeveless it would still be covered by a strap.  at that time i didnt think i would EVER wear anything sleeveless (i still dont like to.... cause of the 40 something flabby arms!)   oh well...

it felt like i was getting stung by bees......but after it healed pretty fast.   its only about the size of my thumb print!  lol

:)

For my45th birthday and to continue to celebrate my transformation I got a tat on the insideof my left ankle.

BTW it's nice to meet you here--Welcome!
