So I mentioned that we went to R’s Tattoo Guy… I’ve decided I’m not waiting any longer to get one of my tattoos pimped up… I’ve been waiting mostly to lose weight to get it done, but I feel like that is the reason I wait for everything and frankly, I’m tired of it! I wait to go out and meet new people until I have more self-confidence (ie lose weight), I wait to take a dance class until I’m in better shape (ie lose weight), I wait to buy new clothes until I’m a smaller size, and I was waiting on the tattoo things to have it as one of my rewards. Seriously, can you see that pretty much a good chunk of my life is on hold???

So. We went to the guy yesterday - I have ideas about what I want but I’m not an artist so I wanted to discuss it with him first. Below is the tattoo I have:

I want to change this and make it more feminine; so my idea is using hawaiian flowers like these:

This guy is really good, he knew exactly what I was talking about and he’s going to come up with a design for me. I can’t wait!!! My appointment to get it done is May 18th!

This is just one little part of my transformation! I’m ready to be the real RenĂ©e now!!!

You go girl, that tattoo may be just a great little motivator and you don’t have to wait for anything. YOU are the real you!!!
I am 43 and never had a tattoo before november, we have a good friend that is an awsome tattoo artist and he has given me 4 since november, I love them. If you want to see mine take a look at my picture page.

Quit waiting - start now. Plus, taking a dance class can help you with your weight loss. Best luck!
