My oldest became okay with it when I pointed out that her initial would be in the tattoo. Then it was ALL okay. The next question was how old she had to be to get a tattoo… Oh boy.
Really, though. It may be this is one of those times that you just scar your child-and oh, well. Remember, whether we are perfect or horrible as parents, our kids are likely going to end up in the psychologist’s chair anyway, so don’t sweat it too much.

Put his name in it somewhere…my kids proudly announce to their friends that, “This is my mom. You can tell because she has my name on me right here…” and then they lift up the back of my shirt simultaneously showing off my love handles AND my tatoo. While not the best strategy if you have body issues, its a great conversation starter with other moms on the playground!

Finally, I’m one step ahead of you Kristina…I did the tattoo first, then the baby. Well, baby is still in the making, so I guess the only thing I have to worry about is the little squirt questioning my better judgment when s/he is old enough to know a tattoo is (still?) taboo.

Kids are great! I have 2 (6 yrs apart). My daughter the oldest is 6 yrs, 1mth & 1 day older she remembers very little about her preg mom and her little brother until he was about 2yrs. You might get grief from the little one know, but when he is older he will only remember you with the ink! Life is too short!!!!
Enjoy,
