Heya, thanks haha...

I did a search before I posted but couldn't find much for images, only ones covering scars. The other day I did a web search though and found a couple of tattoo forums where people posted the same question (they were both from mom's who had stretch marks from getting pregnant... I wish that were my excuse  hehe). From what I gather based on the answers on those forums is that firstly I guess you have to find a tattoo artist who is experienced in doing tattoo work over stretch marks because while you can get tattoos over them, they don't hold up like regular skin. It has to be something colorful or just color in general, no lines/detail and especially not black because wherever the stretch mark is the ink is going to bleed. Your skin is thin and damaged where the stretch mark is unlike scars, most scars are large pockets of skin and doesn't really cause much problems. Its not going to stop me from getting them, I just have to make sure it's not detailed lines where the stretch marks are hehe and it's colors that I don't mind if they bleed together... Someone posted one picture and it was a large beautiful flower arrangement going up her hips but the colors worked super well together so it didn't matter if they bled together but I can see where you'd want to make sure you weren't doing solid lines across the marks. It's going to be hard for me because my whole upper body is pretty much one big stretch mark! *ugh* :P

I'm wanting to get my first tattoo.  Anyone care to share what tats they have, where you placed them and why you decided on them?  I'm at a stall as to what to get and where to have it placed....

Ideas??

Thanks!!!

Aw hehe thankies.
