I got a new tattoo about 4 months ago. I have gone through a lot in the last 5 years and it is my way of commemorating how far I have come. 5 years ago I lost my husband to cancer and since then having to do things on my own, gaining more self confidence, a new love of my life and getting the lapband. Is it 5 butterflies the smallest (on my foot) has duller colors signifying where I started and the largest has the brightest colors. I do have to say that it is larger than I had wanted at first but now I love it.

Ooooooo that's so pretty!

So sorry to hear about the rough times you've been through but glad to hear it's all looking brighter now!

I've been wanting a tattoo for the longest time!!! The only thing stopping me is that I really have no idea what I want... seems like everyone has a butterfly... but I do like the dragonfly idea! I told myself when I got to 50lbs I'd do it... well that has come and gone and no tattoo! So I guess I need to make up my mind and go for it!

OMG!!! I love this!! My hubby was in the Navy and when I told him I wanted to get a tat to Celebrate my weight loss he said he's always wanted to get one to commemorate his time in the service so we're gonna do it together. I never thought of a pin-up girl for myself. Too cool!!

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
