Infertility Tattoo ?? (PIP added)

EMTTessie · January 2010

I have a charm bracelet on my right ankle that I am adding to in about three weeks. It is a pink ribbon tied into a bow and right now it has three charms: a breast cancer awareness ribbon on the front, a sunflower for Kansas (where I was born and raised) that is on the inside and a star of life since I am an EMT that is next to the sunflower. What I am adding is an apple (my tattoo artist wants it to have a bite out of it...which I think would be awesome) for NY and a PCOS awareness ribbon.

What I would like to do is add something IF related. I could go with just another awarness ribbon, but that seems like a "we couldn't come up with anything better" last resort (not that I wouldn't love it...I just love really unique, creative ideas). I know that some people wear a bracelet that represents "Infertility's Common Thread" and I was thinking of somehow incorperating that (maybe intertwining it with the pink ribbon). But I am having a hard time finding many images online. Plus I have done searches for "infertility tattoo" and litterally nothing come up! So I am asking for any help or suggestions you girls might have! Any and all ideas are welcome.

Just keep in mind: if it's a charm it will be less than an inch tall so nothing with TOO much detail...and NO I am not getting a dildo cam...no matter how freakin' funny it would be. TIA!!!

Here is the tattoo I am adding to:

I've actually thought of doing this myself...a penguin with a wine colored ribbon around it's neck?

How about a pomegranate seed? ("Pomegranate" is the color of the common threads.)

And LOL at dildo cam tattoo.

LMAO!!! So I guess stirrups are out too!?!

Well in that case I'd say penguin.

that sounds neat! I am not creative, but I found this

this one is an image of a fertility goddess- not sure if that is what u are looking for

or you can get a penguin :-P

here's a website explaining symbolism of different animals/tattoos

maybe you can have pink ribbon intertwined and incoorperate something else besides the syringe.

can you PIP your tattoo?

Hope someone more creative butts in...

ETA: forget that link about the fertility goddess- unless u like it. I don't like it afterall- looks like someone pg belly is trying to hypnotize you.

I like the fertility goddess idea, and there's other images out there besides the one in the previous post.

A charm bracelet is a cool idea for a tattoo

You could add a kokopelli (the flute player guy). He's one of the Hopi Indian symbols for fertility. I have one tattooed on my leg, partially for my indian heritage (although I'm not Hopi).

This SHOULD be a picture of my tattoo, but I've never used TinyPic before, so I probably did it wrong

Thank you!

And thank you to everyone who has suggested stuff. I'm not sure I'm really looking for a fertility symbol but it deffinately adds to my list of options!

I think Turtles are also a sign of fertility. Your tattoo is pretty neat

I love it, so pretty. If I wasn't a huge baby I would get something like that.

Cute tattoo!

I am not creative like this in the least, but I just had to say I LOVE your tatoo!!

Turtles are a sign of fertility, but personally, I would add a pomegranate

This is a crazy old post but I just wanted to bump it back up. I was looking for an infertility tattoo to celebrate my struggle and triumph of success via IVF, and what I found was a ton of pregnancy tickers on this thread. Singletons, twins, and even triplets. It made me smile (and hormonally shed a tear) I am so happy when I read thread like this. Congrats to all of you new mama's
