Tattoo Coverup!!! PostOp(8months)!!! Tummy Tuck and LIPO - Farmington, MI

So I finally did it! I got rid of the dragon! I got that tattoo when I was 19 and bone skinny! It was so little and surrounded my cute little belly button. But two kids later it had tripled in size!!! There was nothing cute about it! And once I had the tummy tuck, half of it was missing! Now it looked like the lockness monster!!! Well The Motor City Tattoo Convention was the perfect opportunity to meet the best of the best artists that would be skilled enough to do a coverup! And I found her...Cee Jay Jones from Season 2 of Ink Masters who happens to be local in Detroit! It was a 5 hour experience but the result was well worth it! She freestyled a beautiful tattoo I can be proud to show. I did not have her to cover the entire scar yet bcus I have some touch-up lipo that need to be done on my left side(overhang/dog-ear). But I will definitely go to Cee Jay if you are looking for a coverup tattoo artist.

Hello Realselfers! It's been a while and I just wanted to stop in with an update and a few pics. Well I'm still battling the swelling here and there along with some BB issues. My BB seems to want to get smaller! I had some dissolvable stitches that my BB rejected removed last week and now I'm using silicone strips to soften the stitch area so it won't continue to shrink. My TT scar is doing awesome! And the dreaded garments are now my security blanket! Lol! Who would've thought I would EVER say that?!?!

My only true issue is my diet! Since I'm still not allowed to do any heavy workout(nothing more than walking/tread mill or elliptical), my intake doesn't match my exercise. I have a sweet tooth! I'm trying to substitute but the holidays get me every time. I'm about ready to go to Medical Weight Loss for help! I refuse to screw up my results!

But I do have some skinny and fab days! On those days I celebrate with either something form-fitting, a short top(only showed about 1 inch of tummy, lol), or a cute bra/panty set to show off to my hubby. He is loving that I have my attitude back!

My next venture once I find out how soon I can do a cover up of my old, stretched, and now half cut off tattoo! I won't cover my TT scar except where this tattoo is because my scar can barely be seen. I wish I could do it now while my tummy is numb and I wouldn't really feel all of the pain! Any other Realselfers out there that have or will get a tattoo post TT?
