My husband has DCs names on knuckles. He always insisted on short, one syllable names and then it occurred to me why. He's a weirdo but we love him.

Why would you do this? Are you going to forget your kids’ names and need a quick reference point?

Tacky and low class.

I'm considering getting a small tattoo in memory of my baby daughter who died, but I have not done it yet. For now, I have a necklace with her birthstone and a bracelet with an angel and her birthstone.

Each of my daughters have a virtue as their middle name. I have tats of those words.

DH and I are considering some personalized to our children/their nicknames.

No, but when DC turns 18, he will get a “Made in Madrid” tat since that is where he was conceived.

What a coincidence. My kid wants to get “my parents made it in a Volvo”

So am I the only one who thought this was going to be a thread about getting tattoos related to the tv show “Parenthood?”

I know an extremely pretentious father who has the word “family” tattooed on his wrist. You know, because he is the only man who has a family... Then he had “Lucky” tattooed on his other wrist when his second son was born but it got infected and is now indiscernible.

Ugh. So trailer park.

No.

I have a friend, a single dad with a large number of kids. He has a spork tattoo. He's all about getting the job done, not doing it prettily. I thought that was pretty awesome.

I’ve always thought it was sort of tacky/low class.

My sil has one. I think it’s tacky.
