I'm thinking of getting a tatoo
Edited on Tue Aug-16-05 12:22 PM by MissMillie
My life has changed so much for the better since my surgery... and I never would have believed that at my age I would find good health for the very first time in my life. I started jogging back in March, and my biggest inspiration has been a runner by the name of John Bingham. He writes for Runner's World magazine (a column called "No Need for Speed") and has a website devoted to those of us who run for the love of running ( www.waddleon.com )

Anyway, this is his logo, and I'm thinking of getting this tatooed on my body.... (I haven't decided where just yet. I have an issue of loose skin since my weight loss and I don't know when I'll be able to afford skin removal surgery.)



It looks to me like the penguin's shirt says "John Bingham", but I was thinking of having my tatoo say (in small letters) "The courage to start"

Whaddaya think?

1. My accupuncturist said tatoos aren't good
to have .. messes up with the work she does. I don't have tatoos though.

6. Not to rain on your parade
but tatoo removal is a huge business, and women are the biggest customers.

That said, I love the penguin...

7. I have a tatoo that I have had for 10 years. I don't
regret it for a second. Having said that, I personally don't care for the penguin, but we all like different things! If that is what you want, I say go for it!!! :)
