Sounds like a good idea. I promised myself a new tattoo when I hit my goal weight.

I have a bunch of tattoos, and have no plans on getting anything done around my port area. What if the port flips, and you have to have surgery? There's going to be a huge incision right on your tattoo, and you know it will never be sewed up exact, and it'd look awful afterwards.

This is the first tat , I wouldnt recommend getting , I mean it's an object that can be moved or taken out , then what you going to do , people asking what's that sun or arrow on your stomach for , uh it was my lap band port , but I had to have it ,etc , etc, . I have been wanting a lion face on my shoulder for years now and now that I gone down in size I been thinking more about getting it

I was thinking of getting one after I reach my goal and get a Tummy Tuck. My port incision is about 2 inches above and an inch to the left of where my port actually is so any revisions won't matter. And if for some reason they move the port somewhere else completely, the tattoo will still have sentimental value.

I was thinking about getting "Fill Here. Saliene Only" like it says "unleaded only" under the gas cap. I think it would be a fun conversation starter when I'm skinny enough to wear a bikini!

If anyone has a port tattoo, post up pics!!
