I'm thinking about a tattoo also. Never had one, but thought about it before. It's a great idea, as it will remind us about how we did a great job on losing the weight, and changing so much.
Definitely! It's not my first one, it probably won't be my last either - but it's the biggest piece I want to do and I've wanted it for a long time. I figure what better way to celebrate the "improved" me!

Wonderful! What type of tattoo and where? I'm kind of thinking of getting one on my wrist, of a forget me not flower. To remind me to be who I am deep down. I know being so overweight/depressed/addicted to food, etc. robbed me of that, and I know losing this weight and eating healthy is bringing that back, so I thought it might be a good thing. And also, it would remind me never to forget the child in me either.

It's a comic book cover of the Dark Phoenix (Jean Gray) from the X-men. The cover art is gorgeous, and the phoenix is an ongoing symbol in my life - rising from the ashes and all I want to have it done on my upper thigh, with some details going up over my hip. The finished piece should be about 10x14.

Great idea. For those of us with more to lose though, loose skin should be given time to tighten up. I have to say my one tatoo is starting to look like a shrinky-dink. It's on my chest, above my boob.

Oh, I Googled it. Gorgeous! I hope I can find a great tattoo artist here. Share your tattoo when you get it, please. If you feel like it of course.

Yep, that's why I'm thinking of putting it on my wrist. Not sure if I'll have lots of loose skin, but I'm getting older, so .....
