Hi, I’ve been considering getting a tattoo on my stomach for quite some time. I’m 28 years old and in good shape, but I’ve had 3 children, and unfortunately, I have stretch marks left on my stomach from pregnancy. They are not deep marks, but they are light and you can see them and I hate them.

I have 2 tattoos already and I’ve been wanting another one…..so I think this is the perfect place for me to get one.

I was wondering if anyone else has a stomach tattoo or maybe ideas on what to get? I’ve considered something like a panther or tiger and maybe some sort of tribal design to go along with it….or a tatto with the “ripped skin” look……that could blend in easily with the stretch marks, haha.

Here is a pic of the area I need to be covered……the red area is a definite needs to be covered area….the green is something i was thinking of covering in order to produce a slimming effect on my torso. I was thinking of a tattto like this: a panther or tiger strched across my adbomen with claws made to look like they are diggin into my skin…leaving claw marks in the green area……hope that makes sense, lol. My only problem with a stomach tattoo is working around my belly button. I probably would not be able to to cover the entire red area…….unless I chose another type of design…….but I’m not sure what I would choose. I love celtic tattoos and “dark” tattoos….like reapers, crosses and skulls……nothing girly ….no fairies.

Does anyone else have any ideas? All design ideas are greatly appreciated! Oh, sorry about my crappy paint drawing, LOL!
