melonpie05 99 Posted October 18, 2012 Was wondering if anyone was thinking about getting a large stomach tattoo after healing I'm thinking I want on from my hips to wrap around to cover scars and scratch marks not really cover but blend in better i want something to do with the surgery and the life changing event any pictures or ideas would be appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathy's New Life 21 Posted October 19, 2012 I didnd't think about that but I like the idea of getting one to mark the transition to a new life. My hubby wants me to get what I call a "bra topper" on my chest. I was thinking about a butterfly with flowers to show transformation and beauty. Maybe you could do a wrap around vine of flowers with butterflies over the scars and stretch marks.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melonpie05 99 Posted October 19, 2012 I was def thinking butterfly just haven't found any big enough or to catch my eye I wish I knew a good artist to draw me up a big one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJenn 542 Posted October 19, 2012 I want a butterfly too lol I want it on my back with the surgery date under. I also want a lil tattoo on the side of my index finger of just the #'s "389" my highest weight facing me not on the side towards my middle finger. I will always see it... Constant reminder!

melonpie05 99 Posted October 19, 2012 I love the number idea i might have to steal that very smart might make you think twice before you eat something way down the road Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJenn 542 Posted October 19, 2012 Yeah that was my idea if I'm eating something I'm not supposed to what a reminder as I lift it to my face and to see on my finger such an ugly #! LOL Surgery 7/25/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted October 24, 2012 I'm removing mine or idk what I want to do. I regret it but I love it and hate it. No more tattoo for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slowtogo 301 Posted October 24, 2012 I have no tattoos... But I wonder if it would hurt more without so much fat under the skin? I know that my loose skin, ESP on the arms, is much less pain tolerant than it used to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L Belle 96 Posted October 24, 2012 I already have 2 but I want another one. My niece wants me to go with her when she turns 18 to get her first, so I am getting one too. I thought of just the words " Be Strong" on my foot or wrist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that my loose skin' date=' ESP on the arms, is much less pain tolerant than it used to be.[/quote'] Tattoos are all about your own pain tolerance and your ability to put your mind in a different place while getting one! I have a bunch and love the process.. From drawing it up to the application. They don't hurt that bad 2 PaulB and babygirl901 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jessie0303 6 Posted October 26, 2012 I like the ribbons:) I've also seen back pieces that look like awesome corsets....they cover just about everything! There is a picture somewhere of a lady who got a total lower so had scars all around...she did the vine and flowers and it looks great! I like Jenny's idea of the finger number.I was thinking about putting the amount I lose in the tail of peacock - it's a vanity thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
