Anyone have any tattoos to signify your wls journey?

[sairving32]

I was just wondering if anyone has gotten a tattoo that signifies their journey? I am wanting to get a one after I have my sleeve and then one maybe when I get to goal!! Lots of choices!! If you have please share!!

i have made a halfway goal, to get a tatoo i only have 14 lbs to go!!!

Awesome!! Any idea what you want for your tattoo?

Not for this, just for my kids and a bad past relationship (never ever again will I do a tat for a partner)...
I might consider a tiny butterfly on my shoulder....
My treat for myself when I am done this journey will be to pay the $1500 or more it will cost to get a 3x3 mistake lasered off my thigh so I don't have to wear shorts when I swim....

yes, I had a tattoo so signify my 100 lbs weight loss mark. It is a large Lotus flower on my lower left leg. The Lotus represent a rebirth and the ability to overcome obstacles. I felt as though the WLS was a way of being reborn and it certainly takes a lot of strength to overcome a life long weight problem.

Sounds interesting! I don't have any tattoos but I might get something tiny

yes Pre-surgery I got faith on one wrist and strength on the other. Then when I reach my goal I intend to get a whole back piece. Which is a really good looking pheonix and dragon. The pheonix representing rebirth and the dragon representing the strength it took me to get to the rebirth.

when I get to my all time goal,Im thinking of getting one that has the highest weigh number on the bottom being crushed by the smallest number on top
(165/280)

I will be getting a cross, showing the nails....because if it weren't for my JESUS, I would have never got the sleeve!! HE SO AWESOME IN MY LIFE!

Not a tattoo kind of a girl, myself. Each to his/her own. Id rather take that $$$ and put it towards a tummy tuck, arm lift, or face lift.

I have 6 tats. I want to get one relating to my journey but not sure what. I have lost 100 pounds 3 times on liquid diets. My highest wt has been over 350 pounds. I am so scared that I'll gain this back to.

Sara - the big difference this time is that you are eating real food now, so it's not like before when you were doing liquids (been there, done that) and you start eating real food and your brain triggers, hey, real food, let's get that weight back on!... with grehlin gone that trigger is muted and we all have a fighting chance!

I just found a web site that I googled "weight loss symbols". I want to get a tatt representing my weight loss. I want it to be visual to me so it'll remind me not to eat junk food BUT the rest of my tatt's (8) I can cover if I want / need to. I'm thinking of the one that has 5 ladies in a row, the one on the left is larger and then they go down in size OR the tatt that has a weighted scale with the heavier person pulling the scale down and the skinnier person up (sort of like a tetter totter (sp?). I'm thinking of the inside of my wrist but won't be able to cover that in the summer.
Any thoughts............................ I'm not really psyched about either one.
Wow! I just found the one that "spoke" to me. It flashed on the screen for an advertisment for endobariatric surgery. It's the blue flower. Yeah, that's the one I'm getting!!!!

Ill treat myself to more ink after a significant weight loss. My fathers last name down one ribcage, and my husbands last name down the other side of the rib cage. Thinking 3 or 4 inch letters, in bold script, or the script type that matches the Psalm on my back...dunno yet.
