i'm going to get my second tattoo today :-) this one is going to be a tribute to my ex boyfriend who died earlier this year (see my profile for the story). i'm very excited and also very nervous because i know that the physical pain is going to trigger the emotional pain. i need this though, and am so glad i am doing it. i don't know of any other way to tell him how i felt, so i'm hoping that he can see this.
does anyone else have a tattoo to remember someone they lost? did it help you grieve? i'd love to hear your stories and see your pictures :-)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
As far as the pain of getting a tattoo, don't worry about it. Concentrate on your breathing and you will hardly notice anything going on around or to you.
People grive differently and its what you find is comforting to you and if a tatoo is your way thats fine, but on the other hand I would look at it that if you see that tatoo on your body everyday you are not giving yourself chance to try and forget or find peice ( I don't mean to forget your loved one I think of my granny all time who died last year, but my own oppinion is a tatoo wont let you peice but I understand fully why people do this.
My condolences to anyone who is breved and god bless take care and enjoy you tatoo
I hope that by doing this posting I have not upset or ofended anyone because its not ment in anyway like that I was just saying that I dont think tatoos help but as I have already said what helps one person to grive is not suitable for others everybody finds there own way of comfort and god bless to you all.
Take care

some people get big memorial pieces with sad images, even gravestones, and the persons name, date of birth, and/or date of death. that's not my style, so that's why i chose an image that would remind me of the way my loved one lived and not the way he died. every time i look at it i smile and that gets me thru my day. to me that's healthy. i know he'd love it and my getting it shows my love for him. this works for me, and i'm dealing with his death better because of it.
i'm at peace as much as i possibly can be right now :-)
