Ruggie's victory tattoo

fabulous work of art. worthy of your achievement.  diane

Very powerful choice! Congrats!

Ouch! Looks great however. Good for you!

Awesome!!  So unique, in so many way, congrats to you!!  BTW in my experience 1 tattoo becomes many haha!

Hey Ruggie, I think you had it right by calling it the torture palace. OUCH! I think when I have maintained my weight for a year, I will treat my wife and I to a nice vacation. The memories will last just as long as a tattoo, but without all the pain. THe tattoo looks nice by the way.

Fabulous - that is so awesome. I have a small tattoo that I got done on the inside of my forearm so that I see it when I run. When I feel like giving up running it is right there for me to look at front and center.  I think tattoos are a wonderful way for us to remember. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! on your new tat and on your great success.

I got a stargazer lily and the stamens have the heaviest weight I ever was woven into them. I can see it but others think it is just the stamens; and on the bottom I have the word believe. The flower itself stands for commitment, dedication, struggles, success and dreams come true. I figured it kinda fit me.

I love the symbolism you chose.  The art is wonderful.  Enjoy it and let it remind you always where you came from and where you are going.

Love it. Nothing like a permanent reminder.

Phoenix --nice.

What does your gorgeous fiance' think?

I would have laughed if you would have gotten a butterfly.

I'm thinking about getting a tramp stamp of Javier. Hmmm....

He thinks it looks nice.

Yeah... butterflies just aren't me.  Unicorns, dragons, astronauts, dinosaurs yes... butterflies, not so much.

 

GET A TATTOO OF JAVIER.  DO IT.
