C-section tattoo

Lena's post reminded me...

I saw a couple photos this weekend of women with tattoos over thier c-secton scars.  This idea kind of appeals to me, maybe a tattoo dedicated to my kids ( when we are all done). 

Has anyone else thought of this?

This is the one tattoo that I would be willing to get if I had to have a c-section.  I'm not really a tattoo person, but if I am going to have a scar anyway, I would definitely consider it.  I would probably want it to be meaningful about my kids or a reminder about the strength I have inside me that I sometimes forget about.  Pregnancy really reminded me of that.  Maybe a mix of both my kids and the strength reminder...

I like the idea of getting the babies footprints over the C-section scar.

I have a needle *thing*, so tattoos are not an option for me, but I really like the idea of having a tattoo symbolizing your children. It's the one thing that I think is permanent enough that it makes sense to have it permanently inked onto your body.

After we're sure we're sure we're done havings kids I might get a tattoo related to my DD/other baby around my stretch marks

I totally have a needle thing, too!  I would have to really, really want that tattoo.  Or be incredibly drunk and strapped down...which would seem to take away from the meaning of the tattoo...

I like the idea and I might do it if I ever have to have a c section! My only concern is that area has the potential to get fat/droopy and so I'm not sure I'd be able to handle that. I'd definitely consider something in honor of my kids though.

I think I'd like one when I'm done having kids and BFing on my scar. I have a horizontal c-section scar from pelvic bone through my belly button because they had to use an old incision and couldn't intersect. I think I would want something like Kristen mentioned like a remind of strength that we all have and something for my children.

On a side note I don't think you are supposed to get a tattoo over a scar. I forget why or maybe I'm crazy!

The thought of getting a tattoo over my csection scar makes me cringe. No thanks! The scar is enough of a " I've had children" marking.

I'm getting his footprint next to my gnarly csection scar from where my Dr botched it so I stop getting upset when I look at it and start smiling. MOSTLY sold on the footprint but I'm worried about the next csection, and if it'll stretch as I age and totally negate having the exact print.. def something though! I also heard of getting the sonogram heartbeat

A zipper would be cool. I've been zipped open three times.
