Intro!

[Kimmy]

Hi! I'm Kimmy, 38, married, stay-at-home mom / photographer. I've got two boys, Timothy, who is 14, and Elijah, who is 2. Yep... a teen and a toddler... :)
I'm looking forward to getting to know other tattooed moms here!

Hi! I have Olivia who is 5 and attached to my hip and Emily who is 4. My two scorpios are just under 12 months apart. Im in love w/them although they keep me pretty tired working full time and trying to juggle it all. They love mommy's tattoos.....

I have two scrappy sons, aged 9 and 6, who still think I'm cool. We'll see how long that lasts! Here we are with our tattoos:

I am 35, single and have a 16 year old son Nathaniel. I am disabled so am unble to work at present. My son thinks i have really lost the plot since getting my first tattoo last year, however his mates just think I rock. I also have several piercings.

[TS]

I like to think of myself as a rock n' roll mom (even if others don't)! And the soccer thing never took; my daughter is a dancer in a modern company and already talking about what her first tattoo will be and my son is following my path into kung fu. They're 12 and 8 and I'm pushing 50 - no wonder I'm exhausted!

[jude]

Me too. I am so tired. I have the bags and dark circles under my eyes to prove it. I like to think Im a hip momma, hopefully my kids do too.

[Judy]

I've got a 14 yr old too! She's a freshman, the transition to high school has been SO fun :|
My second daughter is 10 and in 5th grade. They thought I was a little nuts to get my 1st tattoo at 44.
My 2nd daughter grew to like it after I added two cocoons that represented her and her sister.

[jude]

I love your butterflies and cocoons representing your daughters Judy.

Aren't 14 year olds WONDERFUL??? :) Tim is actually aspiring to become a tattoo artist. We're still talking about it... :)

[Zoe]

Cool, i wish my son wanted to be a Tattoo artist, he wants to be a lawyer and he works so very hard at school. He did well in his final exams, he got 2A* 2A, 4B n 1C. He's currently doing his A-Level studies and wil be doing so for the next 2 years, then he wants to go to Uni. He actually wanted to go to Harvard Uni, but my dad who lives in Gergia Atlanta said he would get a better level of education here in the UK. Maybe he will follow my uncles and go to Cambridge or Oxford. Hope he's saving for Uni as there is no way i would be able to pay for his education.

Hey, can step mom's join in here?

I'm absolutely in love with my husband's son Axel, now eleven years old. I think this is a great forum because there are so many fascinating issues when dealing with children and their reaction to your tattoos as well as their views on how others perceive you. So far, Axel has been great in handling the attention we get when we go out showing tattoos, especially on beach vacations, but I wonder if that will change as he becomes a self conscious teen.

He's grown up at Calypso Tattoo and has always been surrounded by heavily tattooed people, so it's fairly "normal" for him. I hope it stays that way.

Of course gorgeous step mom's welcome.. Axel is a cutie.

Yeah! Nice hair-dude, as my 8 year old would say (^_^).
