Tattoo-ed mommas, come in:
I have a tat on my right hip and when I was changing into my PJ's I noticed it has stretched and faded a little 
Now I'm nervous what it will look like at the end of this pregnancy!!
Anywho, I'm lonely and bored to the point of insanity. So lets get to know one another, shall we?
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where?
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg?
Do you regret any of your tattoo's?
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO?

Re: Tattoo-ed mommas, come in:
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where?
Yup, tramp stamp on my lower back of a heart type thing with vine like pieces coming out of it.
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg?
No, probably the only good thing about it's placement is that not much will effect it.
Do you regret any of your tattoo's?
I only have one, it's meaningless and I hate the person I got it with.
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO?
I think I will do something that has to do with both of my kids. I'm thinking some sort of tree with their names maybe hidden within the branches or something like that.
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where? I have a lime green star on my right hip and a pair of handcuffs on the back of my neck.
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg? The green star has stretched at one or two points and looks a little faded
Do you regret any of your tattoo's? My mom asks me this all the time. I personally love my tattoo's. The star was an impulse because-I-can thing and the handcuffs are to symbolize my love and commitment to DH (a cop)
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO? I want to get a pair of small angel wings somewhere, I just don't know where yet, to symbolize LO's twin in heaven.

I have three stars on my right shoulder blade, representing my first three losses. I went on blood thinners after the fourth, so I wasn't able to add on. The stars are in the color of their should-have-been birthstones.
One reason I did go with the shoulder was I figured they wouldn't be affected be weight gain of any kind. So far, so good!
I love my tattoo. It makes me feel good to carry them with me everywhere I go.
I plan to add the last two stars. And I want to add three elephants underneath - one for me, one for DH and one for Cameron - because I know our angels are looking down on us from above.
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where?I have two; One one my back that says 'Where words fail, music speaks', and one on my left ankle that is a deady bear.
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg? No, thanks to good placement.
Do you regret any of your tattoo's? No. The deady bear is in remembrance of my mom, and the tattoo on my back is one I have wanted since I was 17.
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO? I would love to get a tattoo on Patrick's footprint on my shoulder blade.
I have the usual tramp stamp - A rose and the Chinese character for 'angel'. I dont regret it and mostly forget that its there. I'm sure its been stretched out by now! I have no interest in getting anymore.
DH has a ton of tattoo's. I have had nightmares that Baby Q will come out as a mini-version of him - ink and all! I literally breathed a sigh of relief at our first U/S when the doctor said "No tattoos!" He would really like to tattoo our children's faces on his body which I am absolutely against. Hopefully, I can talk him down to just their names...
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where?
I have 4. The first on my upper right thigh on the outside. A black and grey drawing of mine, a hand holding baby feet with 3.17.06 underneath it..second one on top of my right foot a blue flower..third one is a breast cancer ribbon on my left ankle..and fourth one is a cross, peace sign, and a heart vertically on my left side going down my rib cage..
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg?
Nope..I have a few white stretch marks at the very top of my thigh tat.
Do you regret any of your tattoo's?
Nope, the first one is in remembrance of a baby I was forced to abort when I was too young to stand up for myself and what I wanted. the second one I got with my best friend when we graduated high school and went our separate ways, the third on is for my grandmother who had breast cancer and my mom who had a benign breast lump. the fourth one i got after I got baptized in college.
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO?
Idk yet..DH and I have said we want to get each others names on our 10 year anniversary, but I don't know about getting anything else..
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where?
a small yellow smiley face on my lower back, right side
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg?
nope
Do you regret any of your tattoo's?
no, i really love it still!
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO?
I was thinking about getting their names next to the smiley, or maybe a smaller pink smiley for DD right next to it

Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg? The only on my foot gets bloated looking with my feet swell!
Do you regret any of your tattoo's? Nope
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO? More than likely....name or birthdate, or both.....
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where?
I have 2- one above my right ankle of a black butterfly with an orange cancer ribbon as the body in significance of my grandpa that passed away from leukemia and one on my left hip that was hand drawn by a friend and is a take on the chinese symbol of double happiness.
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg? My hip one was starting to fade anyways but I haven't seen any specific fading in relation to pregnancy.
Do you regret any of your tattoo's? Nope love them both
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO? LO's nursery is going to be stars and moons so I'd love to get the symbol from the bedtime bear carebear eventually for her. I'll also be getting a snail in memory of my grandma once she passes, and eventually I'd like to get a heart shaped firework with my wedding anniversary inside (we were married july 3rd and basically had a july 4th theme/wedding weekend)
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where? I have 2 tattoo's. Stars on my foot, and stars on my rib cage.
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg? The stars on my rib cage are stretched, but I've needed to get them touched up anyway.
Do you regret any of your tattoo's? Nope! They're both symbolic.
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO? Yes, but I'm not sure what yet. It will be symbolic of both LO's.
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where?
I have two - one on my lower right hand back & one on my left side of the leg. The one on my back was one I regret & would rather not even say what it is (it's so embarrassing!) It's not a name or anything...thank GOD I never went that route. My second one that I have I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! It's from a retro pin up girl 50's print with a boxer dog that I fell in love with a long time ago. I'm just glad that I never see the one on my back!!
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg?
Nope! They are not in places to be affected
Do you regret any of your tattoo's?
oh yes!! see first paragraph!
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO?
I said after my last one that I was not going to do anymore - I guess, I should never say "never" who knows? SO has a ton of tattoos which you would never know as he is such a preppy lawyer but when he removes his clothes he is covered- it was one of the things that made me hot for him
He will most likely (I'm surprised he hasn't already) get one to recognize Nolan - any excuse for him to get another he will!!
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where?
I have a star on my back right below my collar, a sparrow on my shoulder that is carrying a ribbon that says "How we survive is what makes us who we are" with a dangling key on the end, and my mother/daughter tattoo on the top of my right foot that is a star/hearts and swirls.
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg?
Nope everything is staying as is...
Do you regret any of your tattoo's?
Not one.
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO?
I want to get LO's handprint or footprint tattooed on my ribs.
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where?
Only one so far... I have a sun, rainbow, and cloud with my Uncle Howard's name and birthday. He had Down Syndrome and I was very close to him growing up and provided care to him towards the end of his life. He was very special to me and he used to sing John Denver's "Sunshine On My Shoulder" to me. After he passed away I had the sunshine tattooed on my shoulder so he would always be with me.
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg?
No change.
Do you regret any of your tattoo's?
No regrets. I love my tattoo and look forward to getting more.
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO?
I do plan to get another after LO is born but I will have to meet him before I decide what I want and where. My LO will be named after my uncle and my DH's grandfather. My LO's name will be Howard Brahnam so my mom suggested adding to my existing tattoo but I feel that baby Howard needs to have a separate symbolic tattoo separate from the one in memory of my Uncle.
Do you have any tattoo's?Of what and where?
Yes i have 10. i dont want to list all of them so ill just say the bigger ones i have on my left arm a char from the Labyrinth on my right arm i have heath ledger as the joker and patrick bateman from american psycho and on my lower stomach i have two revolvers

Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where? Yeap! Its a pink hibiscus flower with a halo (symbolic angle) on my back under my neck. I'll PIP
I found it when i was 16 after my Grandpa died and it always stuck with me. I was 19 when I finally decided to get it.
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg? Nope-that's why I got it where I did (plus I'm a chubby gal ;D)
Do you regret any of your tattoo's? Not at all
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO? I might. I've always wanted another tat but couldn't find anything I wanted.
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where? Yes, 4 My first one is a tramp stamp it is of 4 smaller stars on the right side, a crescent moon in the middle and a larger star on the left. Sort of a family tree type thing. I will add another star after LO arrives. My second one is on my right ankle and is a paw print with a lions head in the center pad and the leo sign in one of the smaller ones. My third one is on my left outer thigh and it says "Esse Quam Videri" which was my sorority's motto and has my scroll number in the "Q". My fourth one is on my left shoulder and it is the word Love in Korean and an infinite symbol behind it, signifying myself and DH.
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg? No
Do you regret any of your tattoo's? Nope, all of them have a meaning to me.
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO? Yes I do. Im addicted to them. LOL. And I plan on getting one symbolic of LO. I just need to think of an idea that I really love. DH also has many tattoos and he is planning on getting one symbolic of LO.
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where?
I have three. One is a small, stylized maple leaf on my right inner heel. This one honours my Canadian roots. One is a series of three stars surrounded by filigreed banners on the top of my left foot. This one I got after #1 was born and it symbolizes me, my DH and our son. My third tattoo is of the alphabet and it's on my right shoulder blade (you can see a tiny version of this in my avi). It's in black ink but the D, V and R are in a pretty teal color and it's to honour becoming a family of four (those are the initials of our first names and our last name).
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg?
None of my tattoos have changed with my pregnancies, but I purposely put them in places that are not prone to changes with weight fluctuations.
Do you regret any of your tattoo's?
Nope. I absolutely love them all.
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO?
I have one more planned after this baby is born. I want to get three little birds (it's a nod to the Bob Marley song that has really special significance to our family and also honours the completion of our family with three children). I haven't decided yet where on my body I want to get that one.
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where?
Yes, a tramp stamp of my maiden name "HART" in the shape of a heart, and two cherries on my right hip.... typical 18 & 20 y.o impulse tattoos...
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg?
Nope, I havent really checked the tramp stamp, but I doubt it
Do you regret any of your tattoo's?
Not really, I mean, both of the areas where I got them are pretty cliche, but oh well, they are still cute and they remind me of my younger years, which is fun.
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO?
Not really, I've wanted something down my entire side, like from my arm pit to my hip bone for sometime, but I hadn't really thought of getting a tattoo for LO.
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where?
Wave-like tramp stamp on lower back, 4 stars on right ribcage, 1/4 sleeve on right forearm (sacred heart with a 4-leaf clover and anniversary date), sketch of a little girl on outside of right hip, angel wings w/treble clef and music notes right across my lower belly, and shooting star on left hipbone.
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg? None of them have changed color, but the one across my lower belly has stretched quite a bit. It doesn't look deformed yet, though.
Do you regret any of your tattoo's? No, I got them all for a reason (no matter how silly) and I wouldn't change a thing!
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO? I will probably continue my right arm sleeve with additions for each child, starting with this LO. I have about 4 other tattoos that I really want, and a few of them will be for the kids!
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where? I have 8 tattoos!
- An angel with the word "Sugarplum" on my left shoulder
- A lotus flower with an Ohm on my lower back
- "don't blink" on my right wrist
- Red & green Super Mario mushrooms on the inside & outside of my left ankle
- A lucky ladybug on my left foot
- A purple cancer ribbon on my outer right ankle
- Lip prints on my tush
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg? None of them seem to have been affected by pregnancy.
Do you regret any of your tattoo's? I don't regret it, but I will at some point probably have to explain to my son why Mommy has a pair of lip prints on her a$$ (you can see them in a bathing suit)
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO? I do plan on getting his name tattooed somewhere, along with 2 dragonflies for my angel babies.
I never held you, but I always loved you.

Baby Surprise- August 2011
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where? I have a shamrock on my lower back. In college me and 2 of my best friends took an impromtu road trip and decided to all get the same tattoo.
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg? Pregnancy didnt really change it but I gained 20lbs in the 12 years since I got it so that's made it stretch out
Do you regret any of your tattoo's? Nope, it reminds me that at one point in my life I was fun and carefree! And I specifically got it in a place that no one sees it unless I show them
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO? I've thought about getting our kids initials somewhere but I'm not sure where I'd put them
Do you have any tattoo's? Of what and where? Chinese Symbol-- wanted it on my left hip but it was placed a lot further down (My underwear covers it) because i was told "it would hurt less here".. (ummm OK!??)
Has your tattoo changed shape/color since becoming pg? It looks TERRIBLE! Definitely faded due to stretch marks through it, and my C-Section scar also goes though it now.. I really could care less because I hate it and never really wanted a tattoo (just a stupid thing my friends talked me into when I was 18). So I'm glad that its a place where no one will ever see or know it's there.. I remember in the OR the Dr. was SOO concerned about stitching me back up perfect so the tattoo didn't look distorted.. I'm like "I seriously DO NOT care what it looks like.. Can you please just cut that section of my skin off!!!" haha
Do you regret any of your tattoo's? I guess you could say I regret it, but it really doesn't bother me that much because like I said no one can see it.. If it were in a visible place I think it would bother me a lot more..
Do you plan on getting any tattoo's after LO arrives? Will they be symbolic of LO? No more tattoos for this girl!
