Thankyou I really want to add to it i.e. a scroll or a book surrounding the name

I think it's a nice idea, OH already has 4 tattoos so he deff wants LOs name. I do too I want it on my wrist maybe but not sure yet

ive got 'Harriet' on my foot in my own handwriting, and OH is getting her footprint tattoo'd on his leg..

 

[rainbows_x]

I definitley want to do it, me and OH talked about it a while ago.
He has a hugeeee tattoo on his leg & is wanting to get sleeves done, he said he will probably add her name into one of his sleeves.
I want her name either on my wrist or around my shoulder

maybe I am biased because I am doing tattoos for a living but thats a great idea! I know Im getting a tattoo for my son, I drew it out. its the gun from the comic hellboy * because we calll call him hell boy at times* with his name and his birthday on the bullets.

agreed

i third that!! x



and personally don't want one, but that's not cause i love my little girly any less, i just don't want a tattoo.. (i'd decide i should have put it somewhere else and end up getting all upset haha - plus i don't think i'd look very good, i'm not really a tattoo person, i'd make them look silly)
i think OH wants her name tattooed though
i think if you're gunna get a tattoo though, the best ones you can get are ones that mean as much as your children!! no matter what they'll always be your baby!

im defo getting my LO's name tattooed on me. ive wanted it done before i was even pregnant lol. was thinking my wrist, but im not 100% sure yet. me and my OH are getting the same one done with his name, but on different bits of our body. he is getting it done on the kinda side of his arm. i have a tattoo on my other wrist/forearm already.

i think it's a nice idea, cos your child is always guna be your child, so there will be no regretting it xx

i would maybe get something symbolic as im not overly keen on actual written tattoos but ive got 2 already so would only be something small.

 

[amygwen]

i want a tattoo of his name or something.

 

[xprincessx]

i think it's a lovely idea but i'm too chicken to do it myself, besides my family don't agree with tattoos so...but if i was to get one it would only ever be my children's names. i think it's a sweet thing to do x

FOB is getting Molly's name tattooed on him. He hasn't decided exactly what he wants it to look like, but he's definitely getting it done. I think it's really sweet.

 

[piglet_1984]

I will be having a tattoo done on my hand of his or her name, my partner is going to do mine so its extra special and hes designed it too!

Does anyone know how long you have to wait to have a tattoo done after bump is born?

I don't know but I've just thought you probs can't be tattooed if you're breastfeeding?! Hadn't even thought about it!! Does anyone know if that's the case? (Dunno why I'm asking cos I'm blates gonna just google it now lol) xxx

"Most tattooists will not knowingly tattoo a pregnant or breastfeeding mother. It is suggested that mothers wait at least until the child's first birthday to give their bodies a chance to recover completely from childbirth before getting a tattoo."

i think ive finally decided what i want, im not a 'tattoo person' lol so i just want a tiny ark with a rainbow and Noah underneath and possibly his DOB but not decided yet.. i'd have to see an example first so i knew it wouldnt look stupid!
probably on my shoulder at the back, or on my wrist.. but probably my shoulder (like where heather's is) xx

Sounds silly but me and my best mate always drew the tattoo on ourselves (or on each other if it was in an awkward place) cos even though it's only rough it gives you the best visual on where you want it/how you would be able to cover it up, etc and you can decide on colours and stuff too xxx

ahh yeah thats a good idea.. i think i would probably want it all black and just the rainbow coloured.. and really small like 2x2 inches.. will have a play around xx
