Today was such a brilliant gorgeous day to get my goal reward. I know I haven't quite made it to my WW Goal Weight but I am hovering around 75kg as my naked weight and that feels so awesome. I am really comfortable at this weight now but will continue until I reach my WW Goal. Then I'll focus on maintenance.The photo above shows the amazing Megan Oliver from Inner Vision Tattoo (Surry Hills, NSW) working on my arm.
So does it hurt!? I can seriously not descibe the sensation. It's not painful at all. At times it felt like she was drilling into me but that was for a split second and caused by the vibration of the instrument. For an hour after, it felt like a burning sensation but then the feeling was gone. WOW. Would I do it again? Absolutely but when the time is right again.
This symbol marks my journey which started many years ago and will continue. The journey will never end. The meaning of the symbol? The head represents the sun (light) and the body (woman/man). The symbol is also the logo for one of my favourite artists of all time, Einsturzende Neubauten. I discovered them when I was very young and I have been following their music ever since. They represent the very essence of individual and creative expression. It reminds me never to give up on my own dreams and passion.Okay, we're off to the hospital again now. I start my new job tomorrow and I'll need to go to bed early. My hours are from 5am-8am so I'll be up at 4am LOL. Will catch up on everyone's posts tomorrow!

Awesome!! I love that you have thought through the reasons why you were getting it done. What you were getting done. And how it all came about. Megan has done a great job.
Good luck for your first day tomorrow and if you reading this message tonight then - get to bed young lady LOL. You need to be sparkly fresh for the morning. I can't believe I will know someone who gets up before me.
Have a great day and if I read your post correctly you'll be home early enough to still get everything done you want. Make sure you plan some time to take care of you. :)
WOOOOHOOOOOOO - way to go !! Good for you on getting it done - I thought it was this weekend but couldn't remember for sure. Glad to hear that you are happy with it - nothing worse than having it done and not being happy with it !
Good luck for tomorrow - hope you have a fantastic day, take care and look after yourself !

Love it, love it love it!! You deserve it, and it's very cool that it's a symbol that means so much to you! Very cool. :-)
I think I've said this too often, but I'll do it again anyway:
That Mary, she's so hot right now.
You are very brave! Of course you deserve to get your tattoo now! Well done! Must say you are looking great in your photos!!! Best of luck in your new job.
T(h)at looks cool! Such a cool tribute to the band and yourself. I'm still a scaredy cat when it comes to tatoos, so I'm giving you a bravery award too.
How's the first day go?
Congrats on the new job and the Tatt is fantastic!
Just wanted to say hope your first day was good ! Take care and be good 1

You've made me really really want to go and get another tattoo now. Looking at the photos brings back memories of getting mine done.
Fantastic news with your weight.
