Tatoo Revealed
This was my original idea that I presented to Jay. I told him it was the letters CC, but I wanted it to also include some sort of wicked snake to show steel venom.
This is the final result as of tonight:
The back story is this:
The CC coincidentely stands for one of my close friends, named Casey Caudle. Casey decided it was time to leave the earth last summer.
CC also is ROMAN Numerals for 200. This number is symbolic of my journey. I'm very close to passing into ONE-derland, but I have reached a milestone of 200 lbs lost...now close to 230 actually.
The viper stands for steel venom at valleyfair. You see it was a couple of years ago that I could not fit on that ride. I was sooooooo close but couldn't snap er down. I was hoping to fit on it anyway, even thought the test seat didn't fit. I thought well maybe the real seats have worn down enough that that extra half inch I needed would work. It didn't and I was HEARTBROKEN
Well, last summer, after working my butt off...and seeing a new doctor, I met the challenge and was able to go on Steel Venom. I want the viper on my arm to remind me of the battle that I not only had, but that I WON.
So that's the story behind my tatoo. I want to thank Betsy who introduced me to her tat guy...Jay. He did a wonderful job and was very understanding of the meaning. He finished the art for me. I'm thrilled with it.
