To hate it when parents get baby related tattoos?

[Hedgeblunder]

It's not that I hate tattoos at all, or babies!
I just think it's a really huge waste of money that would be much better spent/saved for the baby and a bit weird and pointless too.

YANBU

I imagine a tattoo is cheaper and more longlasting than the Complicated Prams and the like you see, and various other gadgets that lots of new parents buy

so i think YABU

DD finds this fascinating. She asked me if some Mums have trouble remembering their children's names and/or birthdays.

MIL has her children's initials tattooed on her arm, with their children's initials tattooed underneath that - with each subsequent child having their initial tattooed under the older sibling. I'm just waiting for an unfortunate acronym/acrostic to crop up
For instance - if Colin had Ruby, Annabelle and Peter...........

YANBU. Tack, pure tack

It's just mad- my friend gave birth three weeks ago and isn't that well off, but has budgeted 90 quid for a tattoo!
Why not save it for a lovely holiday/days out etc? I don't see how the kid benefits from it??

I'm not a fan of tattoos in general but YABU on the basis that its their body, and their money.

I plan to get my DS2's name tattooed on me. Not decided where yet or I'd have done it ages ago. He was stillborn. I don't care if anyone thinks it's weird or pointless or tacky.

Actually I hate all tattoos. Quite put me off my aerobic class this morning as the lady in front of me had tatoos showiing in all sorts of inappropriate places..

i have my d1's first initial and i am deciding on what to have done for my ds2.

tattoos are such a personal thing that i think it is only up to teh individual involved to decide what they think of them.

i choose to decorate my body and if i want my children's initials on it then that is up to me. the same as you wanting highlights/a green car/nice paintings in your house. it is personal.

Each to their own!

I'm so sorry to hear about ds2 Sacharissa.

I was just going to mention that some bereaved parents have tattoo's or some sort of memorial piece, so yes YABU.

When me and DH have kids I will be getting a tattoo of a flower (our surname) for each person in our family.

So YABU, is what I forgot to write

I have my children's names on my chest, its my handwriting and my design and its very tiny buy i love it.

Me and my sisters also have matching tatoos saying Mum we got them on what was supposed to be her Birthday but she died... i don't give a shite what anyone thinks so there.

I, like Sacharissa, lost a baby, at 20wks. That was 10yrs ago now but ever since I have been looking for a tattoo that I feel can symbolise the love and loss of my daughter.

I only decided what I want about 3weeks ago but as soon as I have saved up I shall be getting my first tattoo.

So I think YABU.

YABU . It's a personal thing
better than the baby getting parent related tattoos

I don't neeed a tattoo to show I have kids, I've got the stretch marks as proof

What they should do is have 'shh' tattooed on the inside of their index finger instead. It will save a lot of breath later on

YABU btw. Each to their own and all that

I read once of a woman who lost her baby at birth, she had a tatoo of the baby on her arm so that he would forever be in her arms, made me

Hasn't Cher X Factor got 'shh' tattooed on her index finger?

I have stars around a tattoo on my neck, in my dc's and dh's favourite colurs, so each has there own star, my choice, also means nothjing to anyone just seeing it.

Ya of course bu because it's none of your business.

It has to be better than having a partner's name tattooed though, at least your children will always be your children.

I lost my eldest son nearly sixteen years ago, i intend to have a tattoo in memory of him in the near future!!!
