I'm definitely getting two more tattoos for the girls, but I'm unsure of what I want. I was think about getting their names tattooed on my foot...I saw something I liked on Pinterest. Another option is getting my shoulder tattoo redone, and somehow incorporating them into it.
I'm tottooless, but DH has many. For my step-son he has his initials, DOB, and the nautical star above. For DD he only has her initals right now on one of his fingers. He is going to get her name, DOB and a bluebird on the side of his neck when his artist gets back to the states (he spends half the year in Japan).
Depends on their pain tolerance. While my foot tattoo wasn't my first, it was also not nearly as bad as I thought it would be!! And actually, parts of my 'tramp stamp' back tattoo hurt worse than my foot!
I got her initials in a heart. This doesn't include DH though (we both got sparrow tattoos after our wedding) and it doesn't allow for another child- but I'll get something else for another baby.
I have heard foot is bad. My problem is I need something that doesn't show in a sleeveless shirt. I also don't want to put it on my back, stomach or upper legs because I don't want to draw attention to those locations as they are ugly these days. So I can't think of where to put it.
I kept thinking it was going to hurt SOOOOOO bad and I'd be fighting back tears and the whole shebang. But then when it wasn't AS bad as I thought, it ended up being fine. Sure, it hurt, but its such a weird hurt. Idk. Like somebody scraping you over and over. And my foot tattoo covers the whole top of my foot, so it hit every bone! I brought my sister and she just talked to me the whole time. I kept telling her, "Don't stop talking or it'll start to hurt!"

I have one behind my ear. It is small and most people don't see it, but I love it.
I plan on getting a tattoo for Melody in Iceland on one of our next trips. I'm getting a bird called a Loa, which is her middle name. In English it is a Plover bird.
I'm going to get a butterfly for Linz and an owl for Lily on my forearms in tan... I want them to look like birth marks. I may put the butterfly on a linden tree leaf and the owl on a lily, but I'm not sure yet.

I think if you are planning to have more than three kids, doing names is not such a good idea. But, that is just my personal opinion as I wouldn't want just a bunch of names scattered around.
I plan to get something but I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking I will get one tattoo that will be for Liam and any other future kids.
We have a family friend who did a vine on her back and the leaves and flowers were scroll-like so she worked the initials into the leaves/flowers. I like that idea, but it's not really my taste.

I have 3... Scorpion symbol on the back of my neck... butterfly that my mom picked out on my right wrist... and Semper Fi, with my Papa's dates on on my left wrist.
Before I got pregnant, I wanted to get flowers by my collarbone, but nixed that idea now. I want to get a tattoo for our friend Tristan who died in a car accident in March '11. Probably a spider coming down the letter T. I also want to get one for A and DH... they are both Aries, so I will do something with that.

We plan on having 2 kids. I want the tattoo somehow connected so in the end I will only have one. Which is one reason I can't decide what to do!
I saw someething on pinterest once that I liked okay, it was like connected hearts and they each had an initial in them. The DH's initial was a larger heart and the kids smaller. But I didn't pin it.

I didn't get mine until I was done breeding because I just wanted one for all my kids. DH has Edie's (full) name in a banner and has yet to get one for Adeline. He said he doesn't know what to get. The kid was born on St Paddy's Day. THe possibilities are endless!

I kinda want one to symbolize the girls but also just that I survived all I went through with my health. I am thinking two apple blossoms on my inner arm. It's our state flower, one for each girl, near the site where all my IVs were.
I have two now that I don't think I can work anything else into. I might have her birthdate done on the underside of my wrist. I don't know though. I'm not sure if I have more kids that I will want more tattoos. So I'm probably going to wait. DH isn't a fan of my tattoos now

I'm getting a bird on a branch with hydrangeas on my right wrist I think. There's a species called "Annabelle," and they're one of my favorite flowers. They were in my wedding bouquet too, so it's for the three of us. I just finally decided this, because I've been wracking my brain for what I want.

This might seem out of character for me, but I did run it by DH before I got this most recent one. It's the most visible (to me) and he will have to look at it, so his opinion was important to me.
If i was around when he got his neck tattoo, I would've told him NOT to get it. Because it sucks, not because it's a neck tattoo!
I'm over getting random tattoos. I have 6 now that don't connect and I don't like it. From now on, I'm only adding to what I have.
