Ok hello everyone I've been away, but I'm back on it now a bit fatter but back on the forum. So back to the subject I did the IMUK this year and thought as soon as I'd done it I'd be straight to get my tattoo. But I just can't decide on it, is it ok to get one or a bit common and boasting???

You must be at least in the 99.95 percentile of the populace, just by finishing.
the one on the forearm took 2.5hrs to do and was complete agony. Its one of the sorest places to get one.
I've had a 4hr sitting for the one on my right arm/shoulder and I sat and watched two dvd's while getting it done. Its a large samoan tat and was not even painful. Yes i was aware it getting done but honestly its a little scratch at worst.
I'm now planning my sixth across my back.
Maybe.
I am definetely going to get one - I was thinking of getting it on the inside of my forearm but more likely I'll go the usual route and get it on my calf/lower leg. I will probably go for a straight forward plain M. about 4 or 5 ins high on the calf- possibly with IMCH 2010 underneath and maybe the finish time if i don't plan on doing another one (and the time is reasonable )
If you want a tattoo get one. Personally can't see the attraction. Waste of money and time in my book. But each to their own and all that.
Each to their own as they say.
planning 6th along my back which will then come over to the chest. Look at Gavin Riggs. His is amazing.

I must admit an achievement like that would be tempting!
Tats are not sore!
Cheers everyone.
It's known as the pink mcdonalds tattoo to my workmates.
But I wouldn't dream of branding myself with the logo of a large corporation. Personal opinion.
But what really gets me is.....what about IronWomen???? Why are these races expressed in such macho terms?

Considering what you and Ewan are doing on the 70.3, you are more than deserving of the m-dot than most people doing the full distance (myself included).
Now remind me how metal I am when I'm struggling around the middle distance race please.
But it does beg the question..... why can't I ? ?
( oh dear)
Defo going to get one as I've already been bitten by the tattoo bug. Probably a decent size Mdot, brilliant red, black outline, date above it and time underneath it.
