Ok, I've wanted to get a new tattoo to represent Oscar and Niamh for ages, but I've been taking my time deciding what I want. A few weeks ago I was looking at the kids foot print canvas above the fire place and I was like thats it, footprints!!

So anyway, I just did a google search to see if there are any photo's of people who have had this done, so I can get an idea of what it would look like, and I found these

(sorry dont know how to post the pics here)

except for the hand print one that I think is amazing, the rest are fookin disgusting and why on earth would you do that esp the scary belly one!!

lol, i think the drawings is cute - but I wouldnt want it on my body forever!

someone on here has a footprints tattoo im sure - but cant think who it is The handprints one is good but the fetus one is a bit weird x

Haha..I like the belly one..but would never get it done on me

Also.. Michellenevan on here got her son's foot prints tattooed on her side a couple of weeks ago, and that was done really nicely. I'll see if I can find the thread. x

hahaha some of those are amazing!!!!! i love the forearm one, wouldn't get it but it's lovely, i would get a picture elijah drew tattooed on me im still quite against portraits though and some of those are just plain dodgy

wtf apart from the handprints theyre all scary
iv been meaning to get my two's handprints done, but want to find a really good tatooist first, i havent got round to searching...that was over a year ago will get round to it one day x

yeh it was Michelle - nice one Zee

Here you go. I like it

OH and the connect the dots one is genius i think maybe having seen these replies i won't be posting any tattoo pics

yeah michelles footprint tattoo was lovely

Wrong flippin post! and I can't re quote, and now I can't see who I'm supposed to be aming it at, epic fail

Feline in Sheffield where I got my two are amazing, and I will be going there for my footprints for def, I'd definately reccomend them, and it would be worth the trip as your not that far away, I can't remeber the guy's name who did my butterfly, but I'll find out and PM you.

Thanks Zee, I'm off to look now.........

i'm getting one done for ava in a few weeks not taking inspiration from those those though!

Lol is it wrong i like the join the dots one

Yeah that is an amazing tat, I think a good print to work from is key, I wouldn't want it too big, I'm thinking on my foot, Oscars in Blue and Niamh's pink, will probably wait a while before I get it done though.

I think that join the dots one is funny, but I'd never ever have something like that, it is the sort of tat you'd want rid of one day.

Nah i wudnt i love all my tats.

Im contemplating awens atm. Caelyns is a chicken in a pirate hat on back of my neck and im needing to find a good bit of skin to put awen on and then decide on a design. Its possibly gonna be another cartoon.

Yeah I love mine, I've only got 2 at the mo, but I will be having at least one more!

Caelyns sounds cool, is it cos you nick name her chicken? See I could do that, but we nick named Oscar stincky bum, not really very good for a tat lol and Niamh is nevinoo, so that aint gonna work either, think I should stick to my footprints

hahaha hmmm stinky bum tattoo.....my husband has a fleur de lis on his calf with elijah's name, i need to decide how many babies im having before i get started in case i run out of room

i really want to get elijahs footprint on the sole of my foot, but what if i have 10 babies????? plus it would fade

I like the hand prints tattoo, Ive got 4 at the moment . Im wanting to get some kind of life quote to have down my arm just got to find the right piece of writing that means something for me. If I had the money then Id end up covered lol

I love my footprints tattoo and it is Evans actual prints from when he was born! It took me about a year to find a design I liked in turbans I jst told the guy the idea I had and he designed it!

yikes!! I like the foot print ones too, wouldnt know where to have it though.

But the kids drawing?!?! erm weird xx

mari!! the sole of your foot would be soooo tickly!!

I wanted a ladybug on my fingertip but the guy refused to do it on the basis it would fade to nothing within a year
I still havnt got a hannah tattoo.
