wyomama0427

Any other tattooed mamas here? How many do you have? Share details and pics if you want! 

wyomama0427

Okay nobody wants to share, understandable. I'll go first! I've got a big one on my back that is the reason I wore my hair down for my wedding. Didn't think about how it would look in my wedding dress but oh well! I've got one on each forearm as well, and one small stupid one on my right hip. I put my username on the pic because this is the internet lol

Carebella

Life size paw print filled in like my Kobe's fur. And on my right hip since he almost always walked on my right side. We lost him to cancer in December 2015

So obviously the top left is my foot, my sister has the same one on her opposite foot. Bottom left is my lower left back, haha I got it on my 21st birthday because I just liked it! The right is my bird, with the tail shaded the color of my son's birthstone! Forgive my looking like crap.. haha it's snowing and I didn't feel like doing my hair or getting out of yoga pants!

@daniellelynette I love yours!! The one on your back is really cool. I don't think I'm brave enough to do it!!
Haha my sister in law has a huge purple butterfly on her back and for her wedding, she wore her hair up and got a dress specifically to show it off!

I have 7! A small dove on my ribs, stars on my ankle, words on my lower back, flower on my toe, a "j" on my wrist, daughters name on my shoulder and a large cardinal and anchor between my shoulder blades!

@Carebella I love that! I want to get my dogs paws one day

I have no tattoos, but wanted to comment how much I love yours @Carebella. It's beautiful and it made me cry. 

Carebella

Thanks at @mcdoug211! It was my first tattoo and I'm still debating if I want to get one for DS and one for my running  How bad was the tattoo on the toe???

Carebella

Thank you @bridge-and-wall He was my first dog and incredibly special to me. Some days I still feel a little broken not having him here with me. But I remind myself he gets to chase all the squirrels and bunnies he wants, soak up the sun, and eat as much chicken and cottage cheese as he wants

I have a dove on my hip and apparently the only pic that exists of it is right after I got it touched up 4 years ago haha. I would like to get a fox with its tail turning into feathers on my ribs someday.

I have 4. I have in script at the base of my neck "mi vida, mi amor" which translates to my life my love in Spanish (im Hispanic on my mom's side). I have a cancer awareness ribbon with angel wings on the back of my right hip. I have a skeleton key on the front of my left hip. And I have an origami Crane on my left shoulder blade - the American Suicide Awareness & Prevention Society uses the crane which is the international symbol of hope for the hope to end all suicide. 

And i want a bunch more, but professionalism and cost has held me back a little. Also DH has virgin skin, he's not anti tattoo he just doesnt get it. I've also had a bunch of piercings. I was the "bad girl" that he brought home to mom and dad haha.

I only have one, and it's a HP tattoo on the back of my neck. I adore it. I actually had an appointment to get my second tattoo on my 30th birthday (a pair of anatomical lungs with two flowers that look like their from an old timey botanical text book- it was going to be a memorial of the babies we've lost), but I got my BFD 4 days before that, so no tattoo for me right now. After this baby comes, I plan to get their heartbeat tattooed down my ribcage below my heart, as well as the tattoo I was going to get before.

Top left I got when I was 17 (2007) on the 10th anniversary of my Mothers passing. 
Top right is my newest in Sept 2016. I am obsessed with rocket ships.
Bottom left is my Mother's signature.  I got it Feb 2016 from an old letter she had written my father. 
Bottom right is a bat on the bottom of my neck / top of my spine.  I'm obsessed with bats.  I got that March 2016 in Austin, TX bat capital of the world. 

I cannot wait to get more after having baby.  FI os covered in tattoos and I'm in love with them.  

Hopefulmommy1980

I have two butterfly tattoos one on my ankle and one on my shoulder 

Texafornian

I have 3...Winnie the Pooh on bikini line, Japanese symbol meaning "dream" on my tailbone (can we say tramp stamp!? Lol) and a sun with a tiny heart on the inside of my ankle.
The Japanese one I got on the millenium New Year with a friend I lost on 9/11 (he was on the first plane) so its sentimental. The other two were somewhat whims in college. 

mcdoug211

@Carebella It was nothing! He hit one spot that made my toe twitch but that was it lol I'm gonna get it retouched when I go in for my next 

SuperKristy85

I don't have any pictures of mine but I have 4. A shooting star on my hip, 4 leaf clover on my foot, and Compass star on the back of my neck and on my back I have a cross with angel wings coming off of it in honor of my sister - my guardian angel. 

ashley2824

I have 2. First one is on my hip, it's the Chinese symbol for "strength" (well its supposed to be  ), which now, since my 1st PG, has a big old stretch mark through it. Got it after a bad car accident I was in when I was 18. 2nd one is a flower on the inside of my foot which has now faded terribly and the outline is so wiggly bc I was shaking so bad. Both I regret, but oh well. Neither are too noticeable.

@kaylaakosua I love yours. That bat is awesome! I don't have any but am thinking of some!

hatrats

I have a shamrock on my right foot (Irish family and St Pat's bday). @amandarene112 I had an appointment to get going on a large back piece literally the day after we found out and had to cancel. Le sigh...

Thanks, I love it so much but because it's on my back I never see it. Thinking of getting another bat.

hatrats

@kaylaakosua loving the bat. I really dig tattoos that are off beat like that.

yasandson

Seems like im late to everyparty!
Got 5. Those are the 3 most recent ones. 

wyomama0427

@SayaSana it's just because most of us have been here since January! Don't worry, you're still welcome to join in, I like that you're still sharing letting us get to know you.

ohheyitskristine

tons! right arm: sleeve (unfinished), behind right ear, low back (it was the early 2000s, dont judge me! haha), left shoulder blade, left shoulder (near the collarbone), ribcage, and foot...i swear i'm missing some.

mandt0917

I have 5 total I guess but this is the most recent. Shaded/outlined roses half sleeve, the word Uruguay on my hip, Roman numerals on my ribcage, a crown on my wrist, and the half owl. Only some of my tattoos have meanings, others don't I still like them though. Also, my Husband does/used to do tattoos and he's done all of mine

mrs14678

Just got my 1/4 sleeve "finished" this month (yes. While pregnant. It's totally fine.... I have a lengthy explanation if sanctimommies want to argue). When we are done having kids, I'll add smaller goldfish to continue as a half or full sleeve. Haven't decided yet.

The one on my ankle is support tattoo for my husband's job. 

I have Tolkien's drawing of Smaug on my upper back but I don't have a picture. It was my first and it's kind of crooked....haha! 

I cant wait to get more they're so addicting. But they're too expensive to get regularly! 

Cats*in*space

I don't have any yet, but I really want to get this as my first

Ok I LOVE the signature one, so very special! My sister and I have my dads "I love you, daddy" signature from a card he wrote us before he passed, engraved on bracelets and were just waiting to go get this tattooed on. 

Jamiern01

I'm so late sharing here. I have 2 one on my shoulder and one on my ankle. The one on my ankle is the same as my brother and sister.

lilpoots

I have two large tattoos, would like more, but I'm cheap and good tattoos are not. One is a pansy orchid on one side of my back and it stretches from bikini line to bra line. The other is art nouveaux inspired and is a mixture of flora and fauna. It starts at my spine covering my shoulder blade and shoulder cap.

BecauseLove

I have just 1 on my back of my neck (just a word). I got it in my mid 20's was just looking up what was recommended to get it retouched at some point as some of it has faded over the years. Has anyone here gotten a tattoo touched up? 

labby18

@BecauseLove yes. I had one touched up bc i had an allergic reaction to the lotion they gave me and it ruined the tattoo. I went back to a different artist to add color and touch it up, i love it more now. He did mention that if i went back to the original artist he'd probably touch it up for free.


Eta words...

wyomama0427

@BecauseLove I haven't had any of mine touched up but the artist who did my back does Free touch ups for life on all of his work. 
Also @labby18 what did they give you to put on it?! DH and I have used aquaphor on all of ours and they heal up awesome. You're not allergic to that are you? I've also heard A&D ointment works. Never ever Vaseline tho!

labby18

@wyomama0427 it was like my 2nd tattoo...8 years ago. I think it was something called black kat idk. I use lubiderm or aquaform for my 1st tat and all others. That time i decided to just go with what the guy gave me, he was obviously just pushing a product.

wyomama0427

Oh I hate when they push stuff at you. Like no thanks I've got a giant tub of aquaphor at home that will suffice lol! Anyone had experience with that tattoo removing lotion wrecking balm? I've got a stupid little heart tattoo on my hip I'd like to get rid of lol
