So how about a pic?
I just got it on Sunday and I hadn't even thought about taking a picture. Picture a "TCB" with a lightning bolt (it's an Elvis thing).



Although I can see how it would be addictive, I'm already thinking what my second one might be.

Yelp, it's addictive. I've got five.

I have been toying with the idea of getting a small tattoo but I've a bit of a dilemma. Between weight gain, now losing weight, aging, and gravity, I want to make sure it is positioned so that it doesn't radically change over time. (Can you imagine a smiley face turning into the ghoul from Scream?!!!)

If I ever find a design I like well enough to do it, I'll resurrect the thread and include a pic.

Jeff, that is a very nice looking tattoo, I looked at for a few minutes trying to decide what body part it was on. I came up with 2 locations, one of which would be terribly painful

I have 2, one is a blue and white feather and rose on my lower leg. The white faded so now it is just blue. When I had it done I was told white is the first color to fade. I plan on getting it recolored soon, even tho it still looks pretty cool.

I have two tattoos, one is a lady bug about 2"X 1", and the other is the blue bird of happiness. Got the lady bug to celebrate turning 70...(lady bug is a symbol of good luck). Got the blue bird when I was 68 (still young ). Tattoos are near my ankles, one on each leg. So if I stretch it to relate the reason to being on CPAP, I guess I could say that the lady bug brought me good luck in discovering that I had OSA so it could be treated Have to think about what to get when I turn 80. It's never too late!

Good for you! I love it when folks express their youth.
