OK - So the article in the Monday paper about mommies having tattoos made me laugh! I, too, am one of those moms not with one tattoo, but three of them! Of course mine usually can not be seen unless I am in a bathing suit or something backless.

I know I would have had a heart attack growing up if my mom had a tattoo... but things are a bit different now.

More people have body piercings as well (I had a belly button ring until I was really pregnant with my first child.)

For those who can not understand what the attraction is I can say for me it was being able to be creative with my body and displaying a part of my personality.

I was 22 when I got my last one so it has been awhile since the body art scene has pulled me in.
How may local moms have tattoos?

And how many are like me, a mom no one would think is hiding tattoos under my conservative mommy clothes?

How will these tattooed parents feel if/when their children get tattooed?
