I know a lot of people dont like tattoos but since I had such luck asking you ladies for baby names I thought I would test you all on tattoo ideas.
Now that we have had all the children we are planning on I want to get a tattoo done sort of as a tribute to my babies. I was thinking maybe hand or/and foot prints but not sure how I would place them or possibly include an angel somehow for the twins we lost but not to sure about that. Emma I know you have the hand or footprints (still waiting for pics by the way hehe) has anyone else seen or have any cool ideas? |

My brother got a handprint done when his daughter was born, it is sooooo cute. I think he just did a print onto paper and took it in to the tattooist, and they made a transfer to put on his arm for tattooing it on. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

It's not the best pic coz I had to take it myself but...
It's her newborn handprint with Maya Grace along the top and her date of birth underneath. When she is a bit older they will copy the lines off her hand into it, but her hand needs to be big enough to get the definition. I will probably do the same with the twins, but I might link their hands in some way with both their names and the one birthdate. But will have to go on my back as I've run out of room on my arms. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

That's really nice Emma! My brother's one is a little different, it's like an ink-print of her handprint on his arm, so its got all the little lines and wrinkles. Apparently it took ages, eek! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

| that is very cool Emma. I think Im going to have to get this one on my lower back because it will be to big for anywhere else and I dont really want one on my shoulder blade. I might just get a wee angel next to my other ones for the twins. DH wants to get a lion protecting two cubs and the kids names, that is going to take ages, and lots of money Im guessing! |

One of my friend's DP's has their daughters face on his arm when she was about 3-ish. My friend is preg again so I don't know where he's going to put the new bubs lol.
Mel - I originally wanted like an ink-print but the lady that tattooed it said that it would look too 'hard' and that the outline would look better. When they add in the lines later on they will probably fill it in a lighter color like pink or something around the shading. I can recommend Rob Krause in Auckland, the guy is a real westie but his work is brilliant. He didn't do my handprint, I had that done at Eurotattoo, but he has done 3 of my four other tatts. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

| When i was looking on the net last night someone said they had the handprint done in pink with the lines in a lighter pink but unfortunately they didnt have a picture. Sounds cool but Im not sure if I want colour or plain black. I think I would like Addisons feet and Kobes hands, not sure if it would look funny though |

I have a tattoo already but I love the idea of getting a new one for my baby girl when she is born... will start thinking about how I can do that... although I like the hand idea I think I would like something smaller as I already have quite a big one...
maybe initials and a date, um no thats not really anythig special is it? Dunno...will have to think about it... ------------- Mrs Frantic Baby Maddisyn born 28 Sept 2006 http://lilypie.com">

| I dont want a big one but if I did it with Addisons footprints now they would only be about 4cm high I think so thats not to big. |

Is prob more girly than anyone with boys is looking for though really, but kewl idea for those with girls. Found this pic a while ago when looking on the web for tat's i wanted.. waaaaay before having kids, and stole it cos it's the one i want, even more so now so i can stick the girls's names near the end butterflies, and it means that IF IF IF i ever had any more kids i could add them too (seriously don't think that would happen).

Oooh that's pretty Janine !
I am definitely going to get something done to represent Erin, but I'm still working on exactly what. I have a design that I'd had custom drawn from before I found out I was pregnant that I still want, but really like the baby hand or footprint idea, and am wondering if I could somehow incorporate the two. I guess we'll find out eventually. Would also have to work on where to put it LOL (Not a whole lot of room left !) My first tattooist was "OK", but the second one was waaaaaaaaaaay better - especially since I'd finally learned my lesson about making a design your own and giving it special signficance, her name is Rose Hardy and she works at http://www.illicit.co.nz - Illicit HQ in Auckland on K'Road. Would most definitely recommend ! ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

I have 2 tattoos - one on my ankle - sort of like the butterfly one on here - without the butterflies on the side - then a J and B on either side for my 2 kids. funny the tattooist matched the colour of the butterfly to my nail polish which was a cool blue colour. Then the next one is on my lower back a celtic cross (scotish hertigate) which is really cool. I would suggest surfing the net to find photos of ones you like and then adding your own personal stuff to it. I want another one but not sure what or where so holding off for now. ------------- Ann

| Ive found a design a bit like the butterfly one but with stars which I thought was cool plus you could put the kids names in the stars or something. Ive got a tattoo I want to see if they can change into something else cos I got it when I was young and it doesnt really mean anything signifant. |
