Anyone get new ink?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone gotten some new ink to Celebrate and/or commemorate their WLS? Thinking of getting something but not sure what yet. Was thinking maybe a kangaroo (since I am a pouch). Please let me know if you did and if possible post a photo of it.

Thanks.

I'll post a photo a year out from now. Lol. I do plan on getting more. 😊

It's something I'd like to do, once I hit goal, and after I've had plastics. But I'm not sure what I want to get yet, as my decision will probably be based on what my skin (and scars) look like at that time.

I have two I would like to get covered, once I have lost the weight.
I would say it would be best to wait until you have reached goal weight before you get any work done.

I plan on getting an new one soon, but it'll be on my lower leg where I don't expect much change. Luckily my existing pieces are in areas where the loss of weight shouldn't affect them too much. There are things I'd like to do but am waiting to lose more weight and see if I'm going to have to consider getting plastic surgery or not.

Maybe this with the date of 20 Oct 2016 (the date of my surgery).

Not sure about the joey in the pouch, but otherwise it's cool!

Edited to add... kangaroo kebobs might be tasty! Lol.

That is better. My hubby recommended trying a boxing kangaroo.

I have multiple tatts and I'm getting one before surgery. My daughters are coming to see me in June, and we are getting inked together. They both already have numerous and they are all tasteful.
We are getting bear paw prints done. They are each getting a cub paw print the color of their birthstones. Mine will be a large paw print in my birthstone color and below that will be my Cubs!IMG_0479.JPG
This drawing is what I'm getting, but the flower will be a sunflower.
Under everything I am getting some sort of an affirmation or quote about daughters too.

Sorry, had to jump off and didn't quite finish. We were thinking a boxing kangaroo to represent the struggle, and then I thought what if he had a medal to show he won? Here is something similar, but instead of the shirt, he should have a medal around his neck with your pounds lost # inside.

Another thought... There are other kinds of animals that have a pouch. Any marsupial: Wallabies, possums, koalas, wombats, gliders, tasmanian devils

      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.
