    I would love a tattoo from Chris of a Harley Davidson with a cute chick next to it. That would be my husband's bike and me next to it. We have been married for 20 great years and Garry has always wanted a Harley. We could never afford one. A few years ago Garry decided to have gastric bypass surgery and I know in the back of his head he was a little scared since they say you could die. He didn't come right out and say that, but I could tell he was apprehensive. He bought his Harley a few months before his surgery and really enjoyed having it finally after wanting one forever. After his surgery, he was sick for almost an entire year. He had serious complications that were missed by many doctors and he almost died. During this time he was so ill that one time he passed out while on his Harley and got a dent in his gas tank and a few other scratches. That really upset him. I was not upset at the bike, but was upset that he passed out and was scared for him to ride again. After a second surgery to fix many major complications inside his abdomen and many, many months of recovery, he finally got back on his Harley again. It was really hard for him since he had been so sick and lost too much weight, more than you are supposed to lose from this surgery. He had to almost learn how to ride all over again as a different person, 150 lbs lighter. He did it though and I supported him through all of this. He is fully recovered now and rides with pride and I ride with him whenever I can. I love Garry with all my heart and was so afraid that I might lose him. I am so thankful that finally one doctor found out what was wrong and he was able to have everything fixed. I want to have a Harley type tattoo done as a memory for my husband because I love him so much and he has been so patient in waiting to get his bike and then not being able to ride it for so long. I now love to get on the back and take off to no where with him when ever we can. A Harley tattoo would mean so much to me and I know Garry would absolutely love to see that on my body too. I have many tattoos, but he would love to see me get something that says Harley.
