You cant get a tatoo while your pregnant can you? Well thats fine if you cant ill just wait till I have my baby. But me and jose have been thinking about tats for a while and I didnt want his name but he wants my name on him, I said no lol. So I was thinking about "husband and wife" in chinese but I was like no, because thats gay! Lmao.J/k, I just didnt want that. So me and jose decided that on our right upper arms im getting about a 2inch tall chinese symbol for "mother" or mom and hes getting one of "father" or dad. They look cool and its only 50 bucks each. So why not, its meaningful right? I will be a mom for life now hehe. And I want a tat but I wanted something cool. And if it needs to be hidden I have my coat.

Yea you should wait until you have the baby. But the idea of getting the chinese symbol tatto with mom or dad I think it's a good idea. It's definitely meaninful. The dad tattoo is nice so you should get the mom. But I like the sound of father and mother.

Marisa, you are right, they are so (caps) addicting!! I have one on my lower back, and I want another, but my husband doesn't want me to get one. Nikki I love the mother/father idea. Cause no matter what, you will both be that forever. I just don't know if I could have someone's name tattoo on me! I would be afraid they would hurt me really bad and then I would have to live with it!

Love,
megan

I just got my first one yesterday!!!!! It is a butterfly with jayden's name icorporated into it. It is sorta on my right boob. I love it and I am already addicted I want another! The reason you cannot get a tattoo while your pregnant is because there is a risk of getting hepatitis and other infections.

Lol I wanted my dads name but never a guys name! 1. Because its bad luck and 2. If the relationship dont last then your stuck like a dummy with a guys name lol.

Lets take dumb jose for example. When he was with brenda, he was like 16-17 and decided "im gonna be with her a while and I want to impress her" plus he was drunk so he let one if his homies tat his arm with brenda on it! And while we were dating and we would go to the river and beach and stuff, my cousins and sisters would look at me and be like "oh hi brenda!" and im like errrr dummy!!! So I took him staight to santa monica and paid for it to be covered. I couldnt stand looking at it! Now its a big tribal design, ive shown it before. So it looks cool. I told him that better be the last time he gets a name on him!

Now almas baby daddy daniel. Hes a bigger dummy. He had a tat on his chest and it said "rocio" on it. Some girls name. And when she asked him, he said it was his grandma, so she was like oh ok. And like a whole year later he confesses "its not my grandmas name, it was my first girlfriend I loved in mexico." so you would think he learned his lesson right? No he goes and gets my sisters name right on the back of his neck! What a dummy. And....Probably a few months later, he dumps my sister and meets some new girl in nebraksa. So then she asks him about the names and he says, thats my grandma, and my mothers name. And my sister told the girl "f- that its my name not the grandmas!" she was mad, but I was like duh, learn the first time bunch of dummies!

I dont think getting a mans name on someone is nasty at all as far as bad luck, thats just a superstisious thing and I got erics name on me a year ago with no probs lol and plus even if something were to happen which it aint all I gotta do it add an a to make erica . Or get another tat over it. I dont think of it as branding branding is 4 animals. ~ erica.

Its not nasty, I think its bad luck lol. To me it is, plus your lucky cuz its eric and erica but then youll have your own name on you! Lol. And for me to get jose, and if we split (.God forbid) then im stuck with jose on me. And I wouldnt want to pay again to have someone cover it, so thats why I got something meaningfull like mother. Oh wait I havent gotten it yet lol, its my plan hehe. I already had to pay 120 to cover brenda so no more names. I just think it pointless to have his name. Im already married what more do I need! Lmao!

True. I only got it cuz his name is eric otherwise I wouldnt have and yeah lol it would be weird havin my own name of me especially on my lower back rofl. It'll look like im full of myself and stuck up lol. Anyhow I like ur idea alot about the mother/father one. Btw, why did u have brenda on u?? I was thinkin of my next one to get after dom is born and then making it my final one which would give me a total of 4 tats but I dont know what yet. Lol I know 4 sounds like alot but by looking at me with the 3 I have now u cant tell I have em unless my hair is up for the one on the back of my neck or I have on capris or shorts to see the one on my ankle and then the one on my back noone sees but eric . There all small. ~ erica.

No I dont have brenda on me! Lmao, lmao!!!! Omg thats funny, jose had it on him! It was his girlfriend and he was drunk tryin to impress her so he got her name on him. I had to pay to cover it because I couldnt stand lookin at it! Four sounds fine as long as they are small and hidden you know? Not like all covering your arms and stuff lol. If I got anything of jose it ould maybe be the letter "j" lol. Then id cover it if I had to but nothing like that is what I want. Dom sounds cool like for a last one to get. I love tats but im scared to get them lol. And my mom never let me get them when I was living at home! So now im out! But im scared! Hehe. My co-worker is like....40 something and she has...1...2...3...4 tats on her so far, and I think she wants one more. They are all hidden so you could never guess she had any lol.
I saw this once chick at church and she had a dress on and she had like 3 huge tats on her back, I was like ewww...Cuz they were of women and stuff lol. It was funny.
What other ones do you have?
Its funny how you said branding is for animals because people do that too! Lol I would never ever get branded but thats kinds like a trent out here, yuck.
If you plan another one, think for a while on what you really want if it will be your last one. What about your ankle? Those are cute. I used to joke with jose saying im getting a tat right under my boobs that says got milk? Lmao but nah, that was a joke! Hehe

Lol the got milk is cute! Rofl sorry I thought that u had brenda on you omg im a dork. Well I have the japanese one on my neck that u see in my avatar it looks exactly like that and then on my left ankle I have a scorpio cuz thats my zodiac sign but its red I wanna get it colored in black cuz the red is really faded and then the one on my back. Dont be scared to get a tat. They dont hurt that bad but then again it depends on ur tolorence for pain. Is say the one on my ankle hurt the least & the one on my back hurt this most. Good thing his name is only 4 letters lol cuz I dont think I could handle anymore. Yeah I need to really think of what id get as my last one cuz I wont look too shabby with like a crap load of tats when im 60 lol. The only one thats the hardest to hide is the one on my neck cuz a- its the biggest one and I wear my hear up alot cuz its long thick and curly so u always see it. I would wait to get dominics name cuz what if I have more kids in the future? My uncle has 2 boys and on each breast lol his cheast w/e he has each of their faces as babies there now 2 and 4 its sweet. I was kinda thinkin of doing somthing for my mom, shes been passed away so far for almost 3 years in sep it'll be 3 years. And she loves angels so I was thinkin of like an angel hold like a ribbion with her initals which are d.J.L. And above the angel her birthdate and below the angel her death date. And then getting the actual tat on my left shoulder. ~ erica.

Oh that angel one sounds pretty. I forgot you told me what tats you had! Lmao, boy am I senial. Im telling you, I could have never remembered that one and its your avatar! Durrrr! Lmao. I like that one on your neck though, that one looks nice.
I think I will be nervous and stuff when I get mine but im sure ill be fine. Im a big chicken. I got all nervous for my tounge ring and my noe ring, I thought I was gonna cry lol. But watching the tatoo machine scratchin you looks like...It hurts! I swear if I wasnt scared, id have my dads name on my back left shoulder, whatever thats called or on my ankle, then id get the barbed wire band on my arm or the exact band to match joses tat, and id move my mother tat to the other side. Lol..But since im a big chicken im sticking to the mother one only. Lol.

I like the idea of the pictures but what if they messed up? Like one eye is crooked or something. You never know on that one! Lol
