Yes, yes and yes!! I'm so excited that there are other people out there who want to get tattoos as rewards for weight loss!! I plan on getting three tattoos over the course of my weight loss journey. One of a panda (design pending) for calmness and coming to terms with myself, one turbulent image of koi (design also pending) to represent balance and struggle. Then finally one of the rear-end of a 370z with a Nismo bodykit. Because they are absolutely bad-*** cars and one of my ultimate not-health related prizes!

I am so glad I found this alternative lifestyle type deal. This is amazing.

I just decided that today is my beginning of a new lifestyle...and as I was cutting up the biggest watermelon of my life, I figured if I reward myself with $1 for every pound I lose, by the time i hit my goal, I should have enough for some sort of hot mama tattoo. I'm thinking I want it on my side, I'm not sure what yet. I'm so in love with tattoos, I have a few already but nothing in any place good...because I've never been comfortable with my body enough to go for it. Lets do this ladies. :)

I'm really like to get some kind of progression tattoo... one specific to my weight loss journey... one tiny bit done for every 10lbs, or every mini goal, and when I reach goal weight it will be complete. :D I'm not sure on the design yet, though. :dizzy:

This is a great idea. A tattoo would be a perfect way to celebrate the huge achievement we are all going for. I think I will wait until I reach my goal, though. That gives me plenty of time to think about my next tattoo!

Going to get my belly button pierced again and this time it won't be crooked lol grrrr gotta lose my pudge and then it's on :)

I have a couple pf tatts already and am planning on my next one when I reach onederland. I'm considering working out a stone/tattoo ratio because getting my stomach done at this size was PAINFUL! :eek:

Im definitely getting a new tattoo when i get to my goal weight. I want a water color floral splay on my left upper arm. I have a few smaller ones i want as well but havent planned where ill put them. I had some planned for my stomach, but pregnancy/stretcg marks/ c-section scar ruined those plans lol.

After my first 11lbs (I feel like it's breaking the I've only lost 10lbs mindset...LOL) I'm going to get my nose re-pierced. I don't have a goal weight as of yet, but when I can get back into my size 10/12 pants I want to gift myself a cover up tattoo. My first tattoo was my oldest son's name and it's small and very fuzzy. I'd like to cover that.

I already promised myself that I'll get a new tattoo when I reach my final goal. It'll be a big one, flowers starting under my left breast, wrapping around my side and ending at the top of my left butt cheek. :)

I like the idea of getting a couple smaller ones to celebrate smaller goals though. I need to lose 80 pounds, and I'm going to get discouraged if that is my only goal. So, maybe I can do something, tattoos, maybe nipple piercing at the 20 pound milestones.

I would love to repierce my nipples. I took them out because they kept getting trapped under my boobs and pulling. Which hurt. I'd probably do it after skin surgery and a breast lift.

I am interested in one thing: is it possible to compare the feeling of the process of piercing the nipples with wearing these nipple clamps in terms of pain? I have small breasts and my nipples seem to curl inward. I would like to get pierced so that my nipples are always visible
