 Here's the CHICKEN in me coming out....

I would love to get a tattoo to commemorate reaching my goal...but...it would have to be small and inconspicuous so that I could wear my clothes without fear of it showing.

Does that sound too prudish?

It's all about what a person is most comfortable with...I have a friend who had a small tatoo pplaced on her inner wrist....some people are proud to display their tattoos...others would prefer a less conspicious placement...it's all about being an individual and doing what feels right for you.

 I have one chosen as well, a lady with 2 snowy owls and a white dragon.  The symbolism is very personal, but it is also because I am totally in love with snowy owls.  Before I started down this road to a new me, I wanted to get a tattoo, and always said "When I get some weight off, I would like to get ... ".  Now I am saying, "When I get some weight off, I am going to get ... " and even have my artist chosen.  :)

Yours is beautiful!

The Phoenix is great..is symbolizes so many wonderful things to so many people and each reason is unique.

I think commemerating a significant success or change in your life is wonderful

...a year after I had surgery I also had my 1st tattoo...then 14 months later I had another one..and I am anticipating adding one more next year for my (50th)
