Thread: I want a success tattoo!

Haha yeh sod it, as long as it's pretty who cares

Yeh the last time I went to plymouth I was already staying at my dad's which is in Devon so it didn't seem too far...oh well...

Grr, had my tattoo all planned, was going to be booking it in for next week, figured I'd recheck the latin, using the library this time, and found that my word was comepletely wrong....stupid internet...just glad that I double checked.

Ooh yes just as well you double checked! What are you getting done??

It was going to be the latin for 'change' on my wrist, but as the latin was wrong and I don't really want it in English I don't know. I'll keep thinking.

Ive decided Im having the word "Free" maybe with a fairy or butterfly, or whatever I find that I like, because Im fed up of being a prisioner in my own body, so losing this weight is going to remind me that I actually am free, free of the weight, free of feeling bad about myself

thats a lovely idea sammy

Yeh really like that idea Sammy I've noticed with ur little ticker tracker doodahs that you liek butterflies, lol

I'm now thinking maybe 'strength' in welsh...lol...i'll make a decision at some point.

I just got a huge tattoo on my back. It says "Citius, Altius, Fortius". It means Faster, Higher, Stronger..... This tattoo, means so much for me. Especially since I got it yesterday. I lost .5 stone, which here in the states, I think is 7 pounds. Get something that represents your victory.

Im getting my tattoo done on wednesday.

its 4 butterflies to represent the 4 stone i've managed to lose so far, hopefully ill be adding another 2 as that will mean i've reached my goal. I'll post a picture when its done

loving this thread ladies.

I'm a huge tattoo fan, i have 1 full sleeve of traditional work which is almost finished (think anchors, pinups, swallows, mermaids etc) both feet tattoed, something on my lower back and one on my finger.

i want to get a couple of goal tattoos.. one will be to represent my achievement in a very definate way like the date i hit goal or the number of pounds lost, behind my ear. The other is a garter around my thigh with a western pistol tucked in it, something ive wanted to have for ages but my thighs are too large for it!

i wanna see photos of everyones!

i've got mine now

to represent the 4 stone lost (although im almost on 5 now!)

Let me give you a lil background about me. I have struggled with weight loss for over 4 years. Within those 4 years, I probably started a diet mmmmmmmm like 100 times, obviously, never sticking to it. I always make excuses. one way or another i would talk my way out of it and think to myself... well there is always next monday. Now, everyone here talks about getting a tattoo after they reached their goal. You see, here is my problem..... I can't commit to a diet. So.... what i was thinking is that i should hold myself accountable.... We all would hate to have a tattoo that is not meaningful. the reason why some of us take years of planning and preparation for that perfect tattoo. Here is my twist, and i want to know what you guys think. I would like to get a tattoo of the date when i get the tattoo... the date will symbolize my commitment for the future.... so in other words... I'm going to give that tattoo a meaning for the rest of my life.... i would never have a tattoo without a meaning to it. therefore if i do that... Im pretty much forcefully committed! what you all think?

I also have loads of tattoos, the most meaningful is my mirror on my back to symbolise always looking back on my 2 girls whilst driving. Yes the idea of the date is a great idea, what a great way to stay committed.

I got one the day i hit Target. Right on my tummy so if it ever got all horrible and dismorphed cos i got fat again, it'd be a constant reminder of my failure and i knew i didnt want that..


its in my albums, have a lookie. I love it. !! xox

hi i'm another tattoo lover i have 14 so far why don't u pop into the tattooist and look at what they have it might give you some more ideas or if u see a pic u like in a book or magazine cut it out they can copy it and use it for a tattoo

this is mine

I love it. The butterfly symbolises for me, my change. Having it on my stomach was a massive deal for me. even showing the tattooist my stomach was huge, i had to book it weeks in advance just to get my head around it. I finally feel like i accept me.. a year and a half on... i still love it.

I have 4 tattoos.. this one, a rose on my back, two hearts with a whip through them on my bum (only v small) and my name with stars on my wrist.. my stomach by FAR killed. It was agony. But i love the pain haha
