Tattoos ??

Have heard a number of opinions on triathlon tattoos, especially Ironman ones.
I plan to do IM Austria this summer and then get the 'M-Dot' tattoo as soon after as possible. My thoughts are that (for me) this is a massive achievement and one which I will be hugely proud of. Having a company logo on my skin for the rest of my days will be a reminder to me in my dotage and a sign to others!!
Assuming I get round the course, obviously!
Any of you guys got one or thinking of getting one done?
PS I have 2 small tats already - my kids initials on my chest and a Nietzsche quote on my arm.

I have 2 tribals and I don't think I would get the M-dot tattoo if I finish an IM.
But its a personal choice. If you want it , get it.
Be proud of what you've achieved.[image]http://forum.220magazine.com/micons/m6.gif[/image]
For me it was a HUGE accomplishment. I never thought I would ever be able to do something like that, complete and ironman race.
I got the tattoo as a reminder of my achievment and for show. When I feel like I can't do something, or I think something it tough, looking at my tattoo reminds me that nothing is impossible.
When I got mine, I decided to be a bit unique with my m-dot tattoo. I got mine with the flag colors of Brazil since that was my first IM race.

cool tatoo you well deserve it.

Thinking of doing something different with mine, when I get it but still playing with ideas!
I got an IM tattoo after I finished IMUK last year. If you want it get it. Its a great achievement.
Good luck with it.
