lets talk tattoos

[C~Q]

Ahhh cool...better idea then and it'll hurt less! Oooh $50...interesting because DP doesn't know what to get me for my bday next week

[Netix]

I am trying to figure out the positioning of two that I want to get on my wrists (inside). I want to get a crown on each wrist (my kids' names mean "king" and "crown"/"princess"), and thought of getting them so the bottom of the crowns were closest to my wrist, with the top of the crowns towards my elbows. But I had a thought the other day, should I get them along my inner wrists? Ie, so that the sides of the crowns are at my wrist/elbow? Oh, and in black and white.

I have none yet, I am too indecisive. But I do want the crowns. Am also thinking of getting one done of a pendant I have, its rather a devil and angel embrace, but not sure where to put it. And have also thought of getting one for my near death experience last week. But I just don't know what that should be!

Everyone else's sound fantastic by the way!

commonly (what the tattooist might assume to be the 'right' way) tattoos are done to face away from you, so in that case the crowns base would be at your hands. so others can 'read' them. I guess it depends if you want them facing you or away from you, that would be something you would need to decide eg would it affect the meaning etc..

All mine face me. I don't get then for anyone else. Tattooist tried talking me out of it, too.

I have the kids names on my wrist and some ppl have said they are upside down...not to me they aren't
This time next week Ill have a pretty foot

[Netix]

Teirae; I think maybe you misunderstood. I meant to either have the tatts facing away from me (you got that bit), or to have them, um, sideways? on my arm.

If I had them sideways, they could be bigger (longer), but I don't know if I want them really big. I think, across my wrists as I first thought would be best. I suppose I could always ask Mr Tatt.

Oh yeah. Another question. Tatts for chicks. Better in colour or black and white? I guess it would depend what and where and the person, yes?

I have 3 tats. I have big plans for my back but circumstances keep changing it. Origanally I only ever wanted 2 kids so I wanted to get a horse shoe with my girls names inside it and have their birth flowers on either side of it. After having DD2 I have decided that my baby having days are not over and I also am not very keen on the November birth flower. So I am back to the drawing board. I think I will still get the horse shoe with the girls names though, I can always add to it when inspiration hits me, or another pregnancy does.

And to add, out of my 3, inside of my ankle hurt the most, mainly when it got close to my ankle bone. In saying that I found it more annoying then painful. How good does it feel when they stop and spray though.

I have 4, I'm going to stop for a while because the last one hurt, a LOT. But then again it is 8 hours of work and 35cm long and about 10cm wide on my back.

Have had one each decade of my life since I was a teenager, so I have a few years to wait until the timing for the next one.

I was going annually til the blasted children ruined my swing! XP

[MrsBexie]

Helle: I was annual to, 07 08 and 09, then got pg in 10 so missed out!!

Next one I am not sure about... Help
Me!!
I want my kids to be down my left wrist but I am not sure if I want just their first initial, their first and second initial, their full names, do I want the birthdate in there somewhere?? What do I do!! It will go down my wrist so charlotte's will be just below the crease where my palm becomes my wrist... I'm stuck!

[TeniBear]

Hmmm... Mine were/are annual too. First in August 08, then March 09, then April 10. It's possible (but not probable) that my next could happen late this year, I suppose... I doubt it though.

dumb question...why cant you get tattoos whilst bf?

Not stupid at all! I was coming in to ask that exact question, well actually I wanted to see if some one could tell me if you could get a tat while BF, same thing

I have 2. One on my left bb with my DS's names and a horrible rose. I need ot update it to add DS3 but I need a whole new design for a cover up. My XH has the same one, he didn't want to choose his own so like a 2yr old threw a hissy and said he wanted the same as mine but didn't like the flower I had chosen. STUPID ME caved I later found out that the rose is actually the rose of death, but with colour instead of black Never let anyone sway your choice in tat!!!! I can't wait to have it changed, lucky I need to wait until DS weans, it'll take that long for me to come up with a design. Libran trait, can't make a decision to save myself

The other is a little green tree frog on my ankle, I love them they're so cute. He could probably do with a touch up he's lost his vibrancy.

Aside from the risk of infection (which is virtually nil imo if you're going to a reputable studio and taking proper care of your tattoo afterward), there is the belief that your milk supply will be inhibited or even dry up as the body puts its efforts into healing your wound (tattoo) instead of making milk. I have been tattooed while pg (didn't know it at the time, got my BFP a week later and was around 8 weeks) and got my chestpiece finished off while BFing DD2 full-time and never had a problem with supply at all, but it is a risk and it is one that most tattooists and mothers just aren't willing to take.

I desperately want to get the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon - just can't decide where.

Had though about my hip, just not 100% sure yet though...
