IronMan Tattoo's

I just can't make up my mind about having an IM tattoo. Its almost certain I won't have one but every now and then I think about it.

I'm really interested in who has had an IM tattoo done and why? And where is it?

Will you get a tattoo once you've done an IM?

Or have you done an IM, thought about a tattoo then decided against it? Why?

First thing I did al, on the wednesday after.

However, I've had 3 tatts previously and the IM one is the only bad one. It scarred in healing and some of the red ink didn't take. I felt a bit of irony over the whole thing personally. I may get it fixed; but only at a time when I don't need to swim train... and the training is more important, so it might not happen.

No no no no no. It's only a corporate logo.

 I used to have a TVR which I loved, I'd longed to own one for years. I still wouldn't have it tattoo'd on me though. Nor would I have a Nike tick tattoo'd on me just because I've run in Pegasus trainers for more years than I can remember.

 Seriously though, Tattoo's are a personal choice. If that's the sort of thing you go for then fair enough, but don't feel it's something you just 'must' do because you've raced an Ironman.

Give it 10 years and their solicitors will be chasing you down for breach of copyright anyway

AL don't do it, it is so cliche!!

Me!!!

Nooooo!!!

I was wondering about that too. Part of me says No Logo. And the other part of me wants, when I'm old and wetting myself in a home, for my carers to know that I wasn't always senile and dependent.....

But maybe it would be too wrinkly for it to be legible anyway. Or maybe I should get it done when I'm 70, so that the wrinkles can be built into the design.
