Ok I have read this thread and it has reignited my desire to proceed to have one done to commemorate the birth of my little one. DH wants one too - we have been talking about it since we became pregnant but have no idea about where to start with looking for a design etc etc. Also I am totally a sook although am somewhat reformed (I managed accupuncture late in pregnancy and the spinal during my c section both of which I was previously deathly afraid of!)

Here are some questions out here for you who have had your bodies adorned:

1. How did you come up with idea for yours?
2. Did you wait to make absolutely sure you wanted to go ahead with it? In the case of those having had them done to commemorate little ones did you wait until you had all of your children before you went ahead?
3. Did it hurt? What does it feel like?
4. How did you find the tattoo artist who completed the job/s for you?
5. For the ladies does having the tattoo have an impact on labour/hospitalisation/pregnancy etc?

Thanks for your input!
