I love tattoos! They tell my story and have significant meaning to me. I have 5 right now. One of them is large across my chest. I want to get one to signify my journey thru all of this but I'm not sure what it would be. If you had to get a tattoo that represents what you have been thru with this weight loss journey, what would it be?

Maybe a compass...or a butterfly. A compass can represent a journey, a butterfly represents change

I am loving seeing the pictures of everyone's tattoos. I have three and am going next week for number four. My last one has a lot of meaning to me. It is in honor of my weight loss, to remind me how far I have come and signifies the new beginning to my life. I absolutely love it.

I have a teal butterfly on the left upper breast. My story is not as "special" as some on this thread. I got it after I was divorced and was hanging out with co-workers (I never worked while I was married) so I was about 34 years old. My new co-workers were surprised that I didn't have a tat so they took me out to get one.

Even though I was an adult when I decided to get the tat, I hid the fact from my mother for another 5 years. She found out when the family was together for a reunion and I was laying out at the pool and my suit wasn't covering one of the wings.

I have 12. I just got my last 2 yesterday for my 30th birthday.

Rose that got covered by tribal butterfly

Stars and the moon on my lower back

3 butterflies representing me and my boys on my ankle

Stars going over left shoulder

Saying on my leg

Sister tattoo on my foot

Flowers with daddy's girl written on my right shoulder

My son whose passed footprint from the day he died and it says my little angel and his name with date of birth and death

I have flowers with my other sons names on my forearm

And my 2 new ones

Right shoulder says sometimes you have to fall before you fly

Left shoulder over sons footprint says with pain comes strength

Most of thwm mean a lot to me!! 2 of them I could do without but they are part of me.

I have around 20 or so tattoos at the moment. Some are just a few inches big and are dotted about. some are quite large and cover a lot if my arm and chest and some cover a lot of my back. I love my tattoos and I only plan to get more. I'm working up my left leg now and once I hit my target weight I plan to reward myself with a big very detailed image on my right side ribs and side. I'm saving up for it already as it will cost several several hundred pounds I think.

Enjoy your tattoos, make good choices you'll have them for life x x x

I have 6, including a full back piece that covers a terrible scar from open heart surgery. I'm getting a new one to remember my niece who died on January 4. I have a great portrait of my soul dog Otto, who passed away three years ago. The only problem is that my tattoos have drooped because of loose skin...unexpected wls side effect!

( hubby plays bass and I sing) then there are two notes above, one pink (daughters birthstone color) one green, (sons birthstone color) then one below that has an angel wing for my daddy who passed away.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
