DP. I'm 38 and dislike all tattoos equally. On everyone. But perhaps that counts as elderly! My husband has some. It wasn't a dealbreaker, obviously. But is it attractive? Not particularly. Especially now that they're all faded and he's lost interest in maintaining them or getting new ones. |
I can take or leave tattoos but names just look so basic. If you’re gonna get a tattoo make it good, creative, artistic, something. |
Thank you. ![]() |

I don't want to permanently mark my body anymore than I can help, ie, birth trauma and surgery scars. An elective mark, whether related to parenthood or not, is not in the cards. |
I know someone who lost her baby at birth. She got a lovely tattoo of his footprints over her heart. |
I don't have it yet. I usually wait a few years and if I still want the same tattoo, then I get it. But I plan to get a celtic motherhood knot when I turn 40, I may try to incorporate my daughter's name or initials into the design. I already have a triskele on my wrist that I picked out at 20 and got at 30. Her father is planning to get a small tattoo tied to his nickname for her. |
I personally dislike name tattoos, footprint tattoos, photo tattoos, etc. But to each their own! |
Nicknames can change, so just keep that in mind. I have tons of friends who had nicknames when they were little that they don't now, even though EVERYONE called them that.
I don't personally have any tattoos because I do think they're trashy, but you shouldn't care what I think! |
Same. |
i have tattoos. flowers, mostly.
once i'm done breastfeeding, i'd like to get our birth month flowers done (DH, DS and mine). OP, you do you! |
The term “evergreen” means that trees will keep growing leaves as other leaves fall off. Pine trees symbolize longevity, virtue, and solitude. I have three tiny (less than an inch) black evergreen trees on my inner elbow for my three daughters. |
I have our birth flowers tattooed and was planning to get their names in their hand writing a bit later. |
No you are not. |
No and they make me cringe. The ones dedicated to their sons in particular just scream “future mother in law from hell”. |
