Anyone have tattoos on their stomach?

Am I the only one?

I have a vine of flowers that goes from my back & then around my right side & then I have a rose on the right side of my stomach. I am really worried about how they will look once everything stretches.

I guess I should have thought about this when I was 19? Any thoughts?

Re: Anyone have tattoos on their stomach?

I have one on the right side of my stomach as well. I got it also when I was 19. Today, I look at it & laugh b/c I know it will most likely look silly when I reach 9 months. I don't regret getting it though b/c it has alot of meaning to me. Look at it this way...how many people will actually see it after the baby is born? I have to admit, I do feel a little embarrased when I go to the doctor...I tell her to ignore the tattoo.

I do, I have kanji symbols on the left side of my belly. They didnt change at all when I was pg

I don't have one but my dox was telling me about a patient that has a sun around her belly button and she is having twins and the tatoo is HUGE right now. She said it is amazing how they go back to normal after.

I have one on my lower stomach and towards the side a little and it hardly streched the first time around and went back to the same size and it's following the same footsteps this time around.

I have one on my stomach and a tribal across my back. I had them for 10 years and I have no stretchmarks from my first pregnancy with my daughter. Hoping it stays that way!

Thanks ladies. I guess it just hit me because I'm really starting to get bigger now.

Re: Anyone have tattoos on their stomach?

LOL that is one of the few places I do not have a tattoo,and it is because once when I was getting my thigh tattooed the chick in the chair next to me was getting "corrective work" done. I peeked (cuz I am nosey that way) and she had 2 dolphins & waves around her BB. They had gotten stretched so badly during her pg, that she had to cover it with something else. She did admit though, that she was always scratching her belly & never really kept it moiusturised.

No tattoos here, but I had a friend who had a sun around her belly button. It looked ok after her 2nd kid...but there was the stretched out skin/pooch and stretch marks as well.

Re: Anyone have tattoos on their stomach?

I have one to the right of my belly button (a chinese character) and one on my lower abdomen, next to my hip bone.

Um, can't see the lower one, unless I look in the mirror. But the other one has expanded. Actually one sono tech said that it started out as one word and now is a sentence!

Re: Anyone have tattoos on their stomach?

I have on to the right of my belly button and although it's a bit stretched it really isn't too bad. I thought it would be a lot worse. However, the scar from my belly button ring has really stretched and looks pretty weird.

Re: Anyone have tattoos on their stomach?

I have one - it really stretched when my belly grew - but through 2 pregnancies, one being twins - it completely went back to normal - I have no stretch marks on my tummy at all.

Re: Anyone have tattoos on their stomach?

I have one on my hip, I was in the process of having it removed when we started TTC, so it is very faded... I havent been able to see it in about 2 weeks...Im scared to know what it must look like.... LOL..
