I'm thinking about covering my wrist with a tattoo. I've got 4 in. long x 4 in wide. I am still healing so it will be awhile until I can do it. Got any ideas? i will be doing massage therapy so I feel I need to cover my SI stripes.

I've thought about doing the same thing. Tattoo artists will caution you that tattoos don't always cover scars completely. The skin is different after scarring and distorts or doesn't absorb the ink the same way unmarked skin does. As long as that is ok with you its a good idea. I considered a lotus flower because it symbolizes rising from darkness. I hope you find something meaningful for you.

Tatoos to cover SI

Not mine, I just really love it and I'm thinking about getting it under the script I already have "Be Brave".

JessLynn, that one is amazing! I usually dislike semicolon tattoos, because I dislike the fancy ',' and would prefer a simpler ',' but I really like it with the heart.

I have one on my left arm. Resembles infinite strength. It's done with my mom's handwriting and in her favorite color. I'd post a picture, but I can't figure out how. It doesn't cover the scars completely, but helps a bit.

Think I figured it out how to upload the photo of my tattoo.
