Tatoos

[Luckeemommy]

Soo I'm wanting to get a ratio signifying my surrogacy journey(s)... I thought about an elegant stork or something of the sorts... Do any of y'all have tatoos relating to surrogacy. If so what are they

[cousinmommy]

Are you planning to do this now or later? If you are planning it now then you obviously haven't done your homework about requirements and criteria. In fact, aren't you supposedly experienced and didn't you sign up with an agency? If so then you should know this already and it's usually in the questionnaire. Most clinics have a minimum of 6 months but many a year after getting a tattoo before working with you.

no need to be rude about it ... Luckeemommy I know you Meant after your journey. I have not gotten any tattoos on my journeys but have always wanted to get one. Good luck on finding out something you like..

You should wait until you are done, as clinics have certain tattoo restrictions and waiting times for cycling, as Gina mentioned.

There is a "Search" feature on this board which will steer you in the direction of some great tattoos, most include pics.

Thank you Susan. It doesn't say one way or the other.

I've though about it. I'd love to do something to commemorate my little ones and also my surro-kids. I haven't gotten around to it yet. If you're considering this seriously, you'll need to discuss with your agency what their requirements are. Many places will not accept you until you're 6-12 months post-tattoo/piercing because of the hepatitis risk.

I hope you'll ignore the snark in this thread. This message board does actually have nice people on it.

I haven't gotten one yet, but I have thought about it. I haven't found the perfect one yet. Also I want to be sure I am done with surrogacy- even if temporarily.

[TxMom]

I have thought about it but since I'm still active in surrogacy I haven't done anything yet. Searching is a good idea. I'd love to see what others have done. Maybe something dainty with pink for the 2 girls and blue for the 2 boys. I could probably incorporate in my egg donations as well although only one is an open arrangement.

I am definitely getting a tattoo after this surrogacy to represent it as well as complete a tattoo and maybe even go for a half sleeve. I don't know if will do another surrogacy after this but I am perfectly fine with waiting the time that RE's and/or agencies suggest. I think the agency I am with said 18 month wait time, but I could be wrong.

Wow calm down ladies... No need to start getting defensive ... I was assuming she knows better then to get one now... She is supposed to be experienced.. So am hoping that's what she meant....

I too am looking to do something as well for after my journey a fellow retired surrogate got Tinkerbell waving her wand and each star represented a journey as well as her own children she got it on her ankle I love your stork idea we can bounce ideas off of each other

I'm thinking of getting a vagina tatoo, cause all my deliveries have been vaginal. My husband would love it for sure.

[Newtothis]

I'm far too old for tattoos but once you get one, do share. Would love to see it!

Tell me more about this vagina tattoo....
A tattoo near your vagina? (Because frankly, tattooing in the actual vagina would be super weird and no one would be able to see it).

Or a tattoo OF a vagina? or Vulva?

Just tell me more!

Hopefully this is not what you had in mind...
