I've decided to hold off my next tattoo and use it as a reward once I get under 150 lbs. Gives me even more incentive to keep going!

I decided to get another tattoo (in my dad's memory) when i lose 30 pounds. 18 lost already, 12 more to go.
I want it in my ribcage, so I need to be more comfortable with my body, at least, to lift up my shirt on the tattoo parlor. lol

I decided the other day to use tattoos and piercing as rewards. I was wondering if I was the only one who ever did that (which I was sure I wasn't). Glad I found this thread. I want full sleeves on both arms. I just still need to figure out how I want the design. I know most of what I want in them, just need to decide where to put them, piece them together, and the missing pieces.

I am getting some money soon and have gotten to 200 pounds since september (I lost 27 lbs) so as an incentive I am getting a larger tattoo piece done. The next piece I get will not be done until I have lost 30 more pounds.

I will probably get a large chunk of my right arm sleeve done. It's a childhood themed sleeve.

I'm actually planning on getting my VCH piercing once I reach goal. (TMI?) I just love the idea of having a piercing that nobody knows about except me.

I have a VCH and LOVE it.

I'm so excited. I've wanted one ever since reading about them in Elayne Angel's book.

Haha! I got mine prob 10 years ago now. I had the best O when I was actually pierced. LOL. Just warning you - apparently that's common (according to the piercer, who told me it would probably happen before he even pierced me.)

LOL I'd never heard that..thanks for the heads up! I have been wondering, though, if there is a possibility of becoming oversensitized by the piercing. Have you noticed anything like this?

Hmm - not over sensitized, but I was initially much more sensitive. You get used to it though. I remember speed bumps being especially fun for the first month or two. LOL

And I say you get used to it because I've taken my piercing out for weeks at a time and then put it back in. I take it out when I do long bike rides, etc. But I always notice it the first few days after I put it back in.

Thanks for your help Mmm...I'd heard about the speedbumps suddenly taking on new meaning. LOL

ooooo me!!! I just finished a post where I said I already have 4 tatts and 5 piercings and new tatts will be my rewards! and clothes of course

When I reached my goal i'm getting some more piercings. I've already got 2 lobe piercings (per ear) and 1 cartilage piercing (in my right ear).
So when I reach my goal i'm going in to get a 3rd lobe piercing, and also going to get another cartilage piercing in my right ear.

I am a stay at home mom now and will no longer be working, so when I lose all the weight I'm going to reward myself with everything I wanted to do but never did because it wasn't "professional" lol! I want a tattoo but I don't know what yet. I want a few more piercings and blue ombre hair :-)
