what do u mums think about tattoos with your childs name in them

Lisa - posted on 03/29/2011

My husband has all our kids names on him. He is still in the process of getting our daughters name completed. He got her name Scarlett done in red writing with a Ivy vine wrapping around the name and his forearm, as Ivy is her middle name. It looks great.

I have a 32week old son and i got his name tattooed on my foot when he was about 15 weeks old. I dont see the big huff about women getting tattoos. I say if you think you want one, you should get one. Its your choice. And i think your idea is really cute too!

Just an idea.. I had a friend who got a tattoo of a butterfly on the back of her neck and the body was actually her sons name. It was such a cute idea! I can't wait to get one.. I'm not sure what I'd get yet.. but I'm patiently waiting until we are done nursing.. Good luck! Post a picture of whatever you get done!

i have my daugther name and birth date tattoo on the back of my neck

Shauna - posted on 12/03/2009

I have 2 sons and their actual baby feet straight off the baby book at the hospital along with their names and birth date are tattooed on my back (shoulder blades) and my husbands forearms. We both absolutly love them and will NEVER regret them. In my opinion something to do with your kids is the best thing you could ever get a tattoo of!

Heather - posted on 12/01/2009

I personally would never get a tattoo, but I think if you're going to, that is a beautiful and meaningful choice!

Kimberley Deane - posted on 11/30/2009

i have my daughter's name, chloe, on the inside of my wrist. with a little star above it. i think its perfectly fine to have it done. what ever you like is up to you. you're the one who has to live with it. so make sure you like it. personally i think it sounds nice.

my husband got our son's name on his leg...i'm going to get one of either his name or initials w/ maybe some baby feet..

Lauren - posted on 11/30/2009

GO FOR IT....My husband and I just got our son's name 'Levi' tattooed while holidaying in Bali last month. His on inside of forearm and mine on the back of my neck. We got matching as it was something special we both share now. Great idea and its something u will never regret!

Sarah - posted on 11/26/2009

i got my sons name on my wrist and love it
it was my first tattoo so i made sure it was perfect so id have no regrets

Cara - posted on 11/26/2009

I have a butterfly on the front of my hip with my two older kids initials as the design of each wing (vein things). I have had it for two years and am trying to think of what to do with my third 'surprise' baby's initials! I love mine and i wouldn't even say im the type of person to normally get one. :-)

Charlotte - posted on 11/26/2009

Hi, i think that it's nice to have a tattoo that represents your children i still havent decided on what to get that will represent my kids, however not to put you off or anything but with getting a butterfly it means short life. You may not be the superstious type and thats cool, but my mum had a butterfly tattoo and died at 46. I'm sure that whatever you choose you will be happy with it.

Nikki - posted on 11/25/2009

I have my 2 yo on my back...Its just her name (Haylie) in cursive with a heart above the H and on the bottom after the Y...the hearts are pink. It's really simple...but really cute. I don't know whatI want to get for my baby...her name is Kylie...I'm so lost on that one. lol

Kristen - posted on 11/25/2009

If I were ever to get a tattoo, it would probably be my daughter's name. The biggest problem with tattoos is regret, but I can't imagine regretting that. My husband has her footprint and name tattooed on him.

Patricia - posted on 11/23/2009

its a great idea i want to get my 5 boys names tattooed on myself in some way.

Amberleigh - posted on 11/21/2009

I love that idea. My husband and I want one of our daughter. Im not sure what kind of design though.

Dawn - posted on 11/11/2009

I am currently looking at getting my sons footprint with birth info and name tattooed on the top of my foot. I don't think there is anything wrong with placing your child(rens) name(s) on you as they will always be there and they will always be your child(ren). My husband also wants our sons footprint on him along with his other two children.

Kimberly - posted on 11/11/2009

I'm thinking of Grey's first footprints walking up my ankle. I think your kids are one of the only forever things in your life so if you are going to get a tatoo, they are your best bet. You would never regret it!

Angela - posted on 11/10/2009

My fiance has both of our daughters names goind down his forearms, and I have my youngests across my wrist. I think that having your childs name done is entirely up to the parent. It has become very popular within the past few years.

Lindsey - posted on 11/09/2009

I have one!! I got one while I was on my 6wk maternity leave. It's on my right foot & it has 3 hawaiian flowers & in the middle of 2 of them are my son's initials (AJ). It looks really cute & I love it!!

Brianne - posted on 11/09/2009

I think it's a neat idea! I want to get one on my back that has the japanese symbol for "love" and cherry blossoms...and then hidden in the branches of the cherry blossoms I want to put my daughters birthday...my wedding anniversary..and a bible verse that is special to my husband and I...and then I want to leave room to add more birthdays as I have more children....I just have to come up with the money and the courage :)

Sue - posted on 11/08/2009

definitely i have 3 children,im having my 2 boys names and date of birth on my wrists,havent decided where to put my girls name yet.

Nadine - posted on 11/07/2009

My husband and I both got memorial tattoos for our children that passed. We also plan on getting one for my now 6 month old her name is Lillian so i am getting a pink Lilly and the stem will spell her name and have her date of birth under it

Sarah - posted on 11/07/2009

I say go for it,im having my son's footprints with his date of birth tattooed on me.think it will be cool.xx

Nicole - posted on 11/06/2009

I would love to get one. I have twin girls and really want their names somewhere. I already have 2 tattoos, but they are hidden as I only wanted them for me, but I wanted my girls names tattooed on my inner wrist, but don't want to regret it when I'm older. With my 2 existing tattoos I can cover them up, but if I get these on my wrists I won't be able too, but I want them somewhere I can look at them everyday. I think they are really nice if they are done with taste.

One of my tattoos is written in Kanji writing and means Happiness and is on the back of my neck. I was also thinking about getting their names underneath that as they are my happiness, but I just don't know.

Lexi - posted on 11/06/2009

I have had a tattoo to celebrate my 3 daughters but not there names, it is 3 interlinked flowers. i have a friend who has had a tear drop done on her inner forearm with her childrens names in it, another with a olive branch (for her son oliver) with his name, i think your idea of the butterfly is lovely :))

Jillian - posted on 11/06/2009

i was training to be a tattoo artist before my husband joined the army and we had to move and then things with it kind of fell through, then i got pregnant with my daughter, which i love being a mom more than i loved tattooing, so anyway i love tattoos and ever since i found out that i was pregnant i have been trying to figure out what i want to do for her, i designed a tattoo for my mother that has a wolf which is like her totem animal with a full moon behind it and three feathers hanging from its neck for the three of us each with the color of our birthstone. for my daughter i have been thinking about a sparrow on the front of my shoulder (by my collarbone) with a banner in its mouth with her name on it. the sparrow to always remind me to let her live her own life, and to let her be free when she is ready.

Kelly - posted on 11/05/2009

Definately! My Daughter's called Ashleigh and my partner has some Ash tree leaves around a letter A on his wrist. Im having done a Vine on my wrist with a letter A, Ash leaf, a 7 and a daisy hanging off it. Daisy is her birth flower and she was born on the 7th. There are SO many things you could do. But I would definately say get one if you really want one. Just make sure its something you LOVE as its always there. I have 2 tattoo's and it took me months to make sure they were the ones I wanted. Hope I helped?

Kerrie - posted on 11/05/2009

awsum idea who wouldnt be proud to have a tattoo that symbolizes their greatest love in life, my partner has his daughters name on his arm and we have since had 2 children together he plans on getting their names tattooed on him once he decides where and when we have the money to do so, i say go for it if that is what you want to do :)

Kendall - posted on 11/05/2009

Quoting Megan:

I have 3 boys and i am going to get something with their names on me. Just depends where u put it and what u get. What ur husband is getting would be fine, but for a woman not so much. Ur idea is really cute.

Why wouldn't it be fine for a woman to get one on her forearm?

Haylli - posted on 11/05/2009

I think that sounds very pretty, I like tattoos so absolutly I think it is a great Idea, your child is hopefully going to be with you for as long as you live, shes a part of you and for you and your hubby to get her name is a great idea. I have a tattoo that I got before I got pregnant, I said I wasnt going to have kids so I got it on my stomach, two birds, how fitting cause when I did get pregnant I had twins, I'm going to put there names in it for sure, it was like a sighn or something. lol Your idea sound beautiful and original I think it would look great.

Nicole - posted on 11/03/2009

yes, i have a butterfly with my oldest daughter's name and birthdate and a rose with my youngest daughter's name and birthdate

Joanie - posted on 10/12/2009

I love body art, and my son's names are the ONLY names I would ever tattoo on my body! Love for your babies is unconditional and will never go away.. just like a tattoo! Go for it, sounds like it will be lovely

Charlotte - posted on 10/11/2009

I am not a tatoo person but my husband is. I think that if it something you want then you should do it and if your not to keen but your partner is then let him do it and you don't. That way if later you decide you really want it you can still get it done.

Erin - posted on 10/11/2009

would love on but hate needles even after 3kids. nothing wrong with it, its nice to be able to do it for your kids. not sure of the point but i like it. good conversation starter

Brittny - posted on 10/11/2009

Ya i would, i plan on getting my sons name with his handprints i cant decide where though i was thinking maybe my back.

Kathi - posted on 10/10/2009

I've got one for each child with their name and birthdate on my inside wrist. My hubby has the same thing on his forearm.

Rachael-Lea - posted on 09/29/2009

I have my daughters name tattooed near my wrist on my left arm.. have had it done for about 4 months now.. I personally dont see a problem with getting your childs name tattooed on you... they are always going to be your child.. and if you want to get one then get it.. every one hads there own opinions.. some poeple hate tattooes full stop.. its a personal life choice.. you do have to remeber that it is a 'life choice' it will be on you forever :)

Whitley - posted on 09/20/2009

i have a tattoo of a care bear with my oldest daughters name under it! i waited till she was old enough to choose something she really like to get her name and i am doing the same with my youngest! there is nothing wrong with tattooing your childs name on you! just shows that you have a child and that you think about them when you are doing or getting something that you like such as a tattoo!

Pamela - posted on 09/19/2009

Don't get it if you are breast feeding it isn't safe. My partner has both our boys names tattooed on him and i will get them tattooed on me once i work out what i want with their names. I think its fine just don;t do it if your breast feeding.

Dawn - posted on 09/18/2009

I actually have my first child's name tatooed on my left chest where your heart is. My husband who has daughter which is my daughter now and we just had our son! So I have some catching up to do! lol That idea sounds really cute. Go for it. She is your child and will always be a part of you no matter what!

Kendra - posted on 09/18/2009

YES! I'm going to get a tattoo with all 3 of my childrens names in it. I think that childrens or parents names are the only names you should get tattooed on your body.

Emily - posted on 09/14/2009

i would say thats a kool as idea, i plan to get one of a few things in relation 2 my baby girl, not her name though but think they are very kewl and thoughtful

Francesca - posted on 09/14/2009

I think its adorable. I'm planning on getting my sons footprints and name and d.o.b underneath. You daughter will always be your daughter and I'm sure she'll enjoy it just as much when she can recgonize her own name!

Brittany - posted on 09/14/2009

i have my sons name tattooed on my back with his foot prints in the middle and a crown above it because the first thing I said to him was "there's mommy's little prince" I absolutely love it! i was going to get his birthdate, but i was told that if you do that, people may think it's a memorial tribute instead of a celebration of his birth. i just decided to completely leave it out, and I love it just the way it is! I think it's classy and says I AM A VERY PROUD MOMMY!
