Hip tattoo - Body Modification

pinknpretty4564 · 08-19-2009, 11:38 AM

I really want to get a tattoo of a turtle, which symbolizes my DH. I already have a tattoo on my right shoulder and i love it. I've been thinking about getting the turtle on my hip. Im just worried about how it will look after i have kids.... ya know if it will stretch and look awful afterwards. Does anyone have a hip tattoo that still looks good after having a baby?

That's my concern as well...I'm scared to get a tat along side my belly/back. It might look gross after having a kid lol.

thats a good way to think about it... thanks!

Lmarie- what a beautiful way of thinking about it

However, if you are concerned, I have been doing alot of research and if you are prone to getting stretch marks they will most likely alter the look of your tattoo and may not be fixable.

Mine didn't really stretch... Only thing I would worry about is they almost had to cut mine for my c-section (but didn't).

Maybe the location could change? Farther down your hip, your lower back off to the side?
