Wanna help a sister out? (kind of BR)

DH and I are going to get tattoos for DS.  I already have mine picked out, but DH is stuck... 

Ever since high school DH, wanted to get his future kids foot prints tattooed on him, with the stats.  Well a few of his friends liked the idea and did it.  So now DH doesn't want to do that anymore, since 3 of his friends already did it. 

He has been researching tattoos for a couple of months and nothing works for him.  He loves his big old Ford diesel, and racecars.  So I suggested something with cars, but he isn't sold yet.

And he already has a tattoo that takes up a good chunk of his back, so the new one can't be too big, since it will have to go on his chest or upper arm.

Any thoughts or suggestions that I can pass on to DH?

  • Do you plan to have more kids?  What will your tattoo be?
  • Could he do baby's handprint instead?

  • We will have more kids.  I already have a 'family' tattoo of stars, so I will just add another one for LO.  And I'll probably do a mother type tattoo too. 

    I thought of the hand print, but we didn't get a hand print at birth and DH would rather it be the first one, since he was so little. 

    I told him to just go with the foot idea.  Just because others are less creative doesn't mean he has to find something new.

    I think he should go with the foot idea too. It was what he originally wanted. Anything else will be second best. You should never do second best on something like a tattoo.

  • I agree that if he really loved the foot idea, to just go with it.  If he wants to do something with cars/trucks, maybe wait until you are done with kids and then he can "hide" the names in some sort of image?  Or build an image out of the names, something like that.
  • I agree that he should probably just go with his first initial thought as well.  It stinks that his friends "copied" the idea, but I wouldn't want to settle on something else as permanent as a tattoo.  If he still loves the idea, then I think it's a super cute one.
