Not yet, but I want to this summer. I figured both me and my daughter will
go together to get a tattoo. I want one on my ankle, maybe a bird or cute
bunny. My daughter want one on her shoulder.

I haven't yet either, but I plan to. I have 3 tattoos already and got them
when I was thin over 5 years ago. They are all hidden pretty much, hip,
breast and foot (all of which surprisingly have maintained their shape
despite substantial weight gain AND loss). But I always wanted one on my
back, but always had a fat back, so didn't want to show it off! LOL Now I
have lost almost 110lbs. with about 10 more to go till my goal, so i will
probably celebrate with an angel on the small of my back. :)

I am going to get one this summer. I live in Florida and am flying to
california in august for a family wedding. My sister in law got one and is
paying for mine at a gift for losing 100 lbs. I am at -88 now counting
pre-op required by dr. So I should be down well over 100 by then. She got a
dragon fly and I may also. She is 56 and I am 54. My grown sons will freak
just like I did when they got theirs. I can't wait.

I plan on getting one when I hit goal at 135 lbs. I want something celtic
on the small of my back. So I can show if off wearing low-rise jeans.
Can't wait! ** kelly

Yes, I am going to mark weightloss with another tatoo. Actually, I think
of it more as a "next stage of my life tatoo" or "I'm
where I want to be tatoo" I already have a flower on the inside of my
left foot. A vine with flowers around my ankle which matches the flower on
my right foot, and I have a monarch butterfly on my shoulder. I am
thinking I should be ready by my 40th next year. I want a faerie on my
left shoulder. I havn't found the one yet. I am still searching. 13 days
post-op down about 27.

I plan to get a tattoo when I get to goal. I started out at 264 (BMI 41.3)
and at 4 1/2 weeks am at 225 (BMI 35.2) I want to get down to 150 and when
I do I will get another tattoo.

Funny you guys mention that, I'm still trying to talk my husband into allow
me to get a tatoo.....
I want one on the small of my back, or on my calve.
I've already hit my 100 pound mark, for that I got a new wedding ring and
unlimited tanning session, I'm hoping I can keep on urging my husband on
the tatoo at goal.
I was thinking, a geko on my calve or a butterfly or even a fairy on the
small of my back..Some thing sexy..
I'm still trying to get him to give me the go ahead..
I'll keep trying...
Post op 9 months down 125 pounds and about 20 pounds away from goal

I did! I love it so much it is rather large across my lower back and of
celtic origin(as am I). I have lost an additional 50 lbs to get to goal
since then and it still looks the same.

I have three tattoos and am pre-op, and I think my 4th will be at my
century mark. What a great idea! :) Thanks! (PS: for those of you who
haven't gotten any tattoos previously, you might consider getting your
first on a part of your body that is less sensitive to pain than somewhere
like your ankle. It is, of course, up to you - but my ankle tattoo was
pretty painful. But then, so is the surgery, so I guess we can handle it,
eh?) :)

Got one on the side of my foot before surgery, let's just say my foot was
never fat- even before surgery. It HURT. Choose something fatty. Next
time (oh, yes, they are addictive!) it will go on a fatty area!

I have not had surgery yet but when I do and I loose all this horrible
weight (310lbs bmi 50) I am going to get a tatoo on the small of my back
that says all american girl wrapped in a flag I have 6 right now so i think
that will be it for me:)

I told my husband that I will either get a fairy with wings or a butterfly
spreading it's wings. Like I will be free from the fat. thought about it
before surgery
