What do you think about tattooing your babies name on you?

I only have one tattoo and it is very small. I was thinking of getting another one and I wanted it to have something to do with my daughter. I want it to be small also. Do you have any ideas? Personal experiences please about your own tattoos. Thanks in advance.

What do you think about tattooing your babies name on you?
I just got a tattoo on my foot last night for my 2 boys- it is the Mothers Love Heart charm from James Avery. The larger side is for my oldest and the smaller side is for my baby boy. I got it in blue because they are boys and also because my middle name is Bleu. Anyway the crazy thing is my Mom got it too, she said her love for them was worth a reminder of it for the rest of her life. It was a great experience- when we came home we told my four year old all about it and he said "aw so cute and I love you to Nana". I say do what you want, its your life to live!

Reply:I have a little girl and I am getting her left handprint with a name ribbon in pink done on my shoulder and then when we have our next one I will do the right handprint of that one. Report Abuse

Reply:I have my sons name tattooed above a pooh bear (he picked it out when he was 2) and I am going to either have my daughters hand or footprint put on me somewhere with her name on it as well. I lost a baby and have the word Angel encircled by roses over my heart.
Reply:My husband has a tattoo of penguins on his back, a big one and a little one, because my three year old looooves penguins. She knows it's her and her daddy, and she loves it.
Reply:i have two hearts on my left upper arm w/ like a banner going through the hearts w/ my kids names Natalie and Nathan
Reply:I think it's very cute! Your own child's name on your body is cute and not tacky as say getting your spouse's name on your body because your child will always be yours! I want to get my son's name on either my back or my wrist, but I'm not sure yet. My son's name or not, a tattoo is permanent and I like to be sure before I make decisions like that. I will give you a link to the tattoo I *WANT* to get on my wrist of my son's name. (I drew it on with a pen to see if I could actually get used to having a tattoo on my wrist for the rest of my life...of course I'd have a tattoo artist touch it up and make it look a little nicer)
Reply:I think its sweet. I waited for my kids to get a bit older and I am going to get something specific that each of them likes. My middle daughter I am getting a ballet slipper for, my oldest will be either an angel or angel wings or something, and i am not quite sure for my youngest yet, she is only 3...they wont have their names, but a unique symbol that is meaningful to us.
Reply:Many parents tattoo their child(ren)'s name on them... they will always be your child(ren) so it's a nice thing to do. Unlike putting a b/f or g/f name on you... they aren't permanent... lol. I hope it comes out beautiful for you!
Reply:I'm currently pregnant, and i plan on tattooing my childs name on me.


It's not the same as a relationship's name.


because youre child will always be your child, no matter what happens.
Reply:i three tattoos one for my mom who passed away on my shoulder, one for my neice who passed seven hours after being born on my upper back right between my shoulders, and one for my son on my foot... the one for my son is a medium sized moon with a bigger star right above it with tribals coming out of the star and little stars in with the tribal his name above the big star and a bunch of polka dots of all the colors in the design on my foot... i would much rather have my sons name on me than a boyfriend or husband seeing as how anything can happen with them but your child will always be yours, i dont see anything wrong with tattoos as long as you know its something you want and your not going to regret it which i have the three i have ... i love celstial which is why i got the moon and stars with my sons name, my mom loved flowers and her garden so i got three flowers on my shoulder with the words forever in my heart above them with a ribbon going through the flowers that says mommy and my neices name with black outline and pink inside since she was so young when she passed and didn't really have a chance to give off a personality but she was a girl which is why i got the pink i'm also going to get my sons foot prints on the right side of my lower back (his name is on my right foot) with his birthdate under the prints and than when i have another im going to get their name on my left foot with their prints on my left side lower back.
Reply:if i was u i would get my childs name in his or her favorite cartoon like winnie da pooh piglet and ect.it will be very kute!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:i dont have any tattoo's but i think it is so sweet to have ur babys name on your body somewere..an idea would be her/his name and under it his birthday in only numbers like say 06.29.07
Reply:I am very heavily tattooed... I think that there is nothing wrong with putting the baby's name on yourself. I myself am going to do either my baby's handprints, footprints or portrait (maybe both the portrait and a hand/foot print). my suggestion is to find a really good artist and ask him/her to get creative!


Very best wishes!
Reply:I know you asked for personal experiences, but this is a wonderful idea:





When his kids were old enough, Tommy Lee had them write out their own name and then had it tattooed on his fore arm, still in their own hand writing. My husband plans to do this when our kids are older.
Reply:I think it's a really sweet idea. I am getting my son's name, Rowan, on my calf. I think it is a great symbol of love for your child.
Reply:I am a strong believer that you should NOT tattoo a name of anyone who is living. Its a bad omen!
