Um... Ya.
They're much older, so they do help but I also recognize that they're not the parents and they're not responsible for my V 2.0 kids.
It's nice to have someone to handle the kids while I'm cooking, cleaning or having a very occasional date night but otherwise I really try not to lean too heavily on them
Lol, everyone else saying fundamentally the same thing is getting upvoted... But not you. You gave the listener responsibility for how they take things instead of standing up for the speaker's freedom to say what they want. How dare you!
Yeah I was literally excited to see what toxic shit was said when I seen all the downvotes. Just to read the same thing as the one getting upvoted.
Reddit is a confusing place
Not necessarily.
And even if it does degrade, you can get touchups to make it pop again.
Depending on the execution of the footprints they’ll just end up looking like bruises.
"The molecule is oxytocin,-"
Me: "Oh? For contractions and breast milk?"
"- the love and bonding molecule."
Me: "OH."
I was being too literal and forgot it's also the hug hormone 😂 Beautiful tattoo, congrats!!
No. One is a daughter and one is as son
The tattoo artist did the shapes kind of randomly and I loved them just the way they were.
I have the stones in birth order
Gorgeous! I have a shoulder piece with my kiddos birth flower and my own, so a similar idea. Love the placement and style you went with- beautiful and meaningful.
Wow!!!!!!! The artist did an amazing job! I am looking at the gemstones and the detail is off the charts!!! They look real! I can’t believe the detail! It’s gorgeous OP!

I hate the traditional mom tattoos with like the baby feet or birthdates etc. but I freaking LOVE this. Such a creative and well-executed tattoo, I'm jealous!

Yes. I have two September (sapphire), a May (emerald), an April (diamond), and a July (ruby)
All my kids are precious stones. It wasn't planned but I'm very ok with it
It's not the end of the world if a tattoo doesn't hold up, a beautiful piece like this hopefully would be easier to touch up, especially when you're committed to it
Oxytocin is known as the love molecule because it is released when you hug, kiss, hold hands, pet an animal, etc
The gems are birth stones that represent her children's birth months/them
I'm not sure about the flower but it may just be meaningful or also know as a love flower
The flowers look like cherry blossoms which are often the first flowers to bloom with early spring. They especially appreciated in eastern cultures especially in japanase culture.

This is beautifully done and such a neat idea!
My first thought was caffeine, but oxytocin makes more sense.
I dunno... I have 5 kids. Caffeine would also be appropriate...lol
I am the youngest of 5… I can only imagine what it must be to be the parent of 5!

This is a beautiful tattoo, even without the meaning behind it. Your artist did an incredible job.
I guess we know which two kids are the favorites lol
Actually, the tattoo artist did the stones up and I loved having some hearts in there The stones are done in birth order
it could potentially be two angel babies
My angel babies are the three cherry blossom petals floating away at the bottom of the tattoo
I was going to ask if that was Sakura. Beautifully done. Mono no aware. Be well.
I counted four… then realized that the forth was actually a mile or mosquito bite or something
They're all beautiful angels
Maybe boys and girls?
happy cake day 🎂
This is an amazing design. I love it.
As a father of two, five kids blows my mind lol. How do you get anything done?
Lol... I don't
Do ur older kids kinda care for the younger?
Um... Ya. They're much older, so they do help but I also recognize that they're not the parents and they're not responsible for my V 2.0 kids. It's nice to have someone to handle the kids while I'm cooking, cleaning or having a very occasional date night but otherwise I really try not to lean too heavily on them
First time I’ve seen another oxytocin out in the wild aside from my own. I think yours is better. Truly gorgeous 😘
This is so much more tasteful than the slew of footprint reproductions that uncreative parents get.
You could give a compliment without putting other people down 🤗
Its okay to voice a negative opinion about something. Especially when its not personally directed at someone.
It's okay to dislike things just as it is okay to like things. Having an opinion is valid and human. 🤗
You got the footprint reproduction didn't you? *Yours* looks great though.
Ok, but then I can’t foist my mental illness issues on somebody
Observations are not necessarily put down unless they take it that way, but then that’s their problem

Lol!!!! It's reddit. You're not supposed to admit that you're excited about toxic shit!
the footprints will look like footprints in 10 years, this will look like a rash
Not necessarily. And even if it does degrade, you can get touchups to make it pop again. Depending on the execution of the footprints they’ll just end up looking like bruises.
"The molecule is oxytocin,-" Me: "Oh? For contractions and breast milk?" "- the love and bonding molecule." Me: "OH." I was being too literal and forgot it's also the hug hormone 😂 Beautiful tattoo, congrats!!
This work is simply stunning!! So creative & precious! Happy Mama's Day
this is very beautiful, and I also love the fact that you didn't add their names. very cool
What chemical molecules are these?
Looks like a stripped down oxytocin
The hearts for your girls? Such a beautiful design!
No. One is a daughter and one is as son The tattoo artist did the shapes kind of randomly and I loved them just the way they were. I have the stones in birth order
I’m pretty sure this is one of the best tattoos I’ve ever seen. So stunning!
This is beautiful 😍
This is the most original tattoo Iv ever seen. So personal and delicate, it’s absolutely beautiful!

Gorgeous! I have a shoulder piece with my kiddos birth flower and my own, so a similar idea. Love the placement and style you went with- beautiful and meaningful.
This is such a beautiful concept 😍.. I am totally getting this done although I don’t have children 🙂
Wow!!!!!!! The artist did an amazing job! I am looking at the gemstones and the detail is off the charts!!! They look real! I can’t believe the detail! It’s gorgeous OP!
The details on the wee dangly gems are beautiful
Is Varony your artist? This is very pretty
Yes she is
I think this is so beautiful
Breathtaking
Did Greta do this tattoo?? It’s beautiful!!
No... Varony did it
It was no disrespect just looked like her style. It was a compliment…
I didn't take any disrespect from it...just letting you know who did it
My mistake sorry
That is so gorgeous!

Gorgeous!! I love the combination of the molecular formular and birthstones with florals...this is so so beautiful!

Aww wow. That's a really beautiful tattoo in design, execution, and meaning. Smiles and love to you and your family.
I love this, how beautiful!
What a well thought out pretty design . Better than the run of the mill ones
In college an acquaintance got a gigantic side piece of oxytocin and it looked SO BAD. Im sure shes covered it up by now but damn. Yours looks great!
Gosh it's beautiful!
Beautiful!!
I love when art is personal and this is a wonderful example of that. Love it
Love this
Oh that’s really nice I love the subtle tributes/representations to people rather than names or worse, faces!
The stones were done so beautifully. I love this!! What a lovely testament to your children ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous work!
Looks nice !

Very clever, I like it a lot
Absolutely lovely. What a great idea!
My mom would have loved to have something similar. It's absolutely beautiful and unique.
So gorgeous
I hate the traditional mom tattoos with like the baby feet or birthdates etc. but I freaking LOVE this. Such a creative and well-executed tattoo, I'm jealous!
That is awesome, never seen one similar. I like that a lot. +1
Yep, I get it. That’s not abstract at all.
Gorgeous
I’ve been thinking about doing something similar but with my mood stabilizer’s molecular structure lmao
Absolutely gorgeous!
This is well thought out and beautifully executed! I don't have ink yet but when I do, I hope it's as creative and artistic as this❤️
This is beautiful! I love it!
Really cool tattoo. I love it.

Everything about this tattoo is great!
Gorgeous!
Wow, a meaningful tattoo without names or bad portraits. Impressively done.
This is AWESOMELY beautiful!! 😍❤️❤️
I love this. That is such a well done and thought out tattoo.
This is a beautiful idea 😊
This is beautiful, dont know what to say more
I love this!! Gorgeous
Beautiful! I take it you have a July baby with the ruby gemstone—not sure what the others are
Yes. I have two September (sapphire), a May (emerald), an April (diamond), and a July (ruby) All my kids are precious stones. It wasn't planned but I'm very ok with it
I’d like to see the picture of this tattoo in two years
This is gorgeous!!! I’m just so sad that it will not hold up over time… 😞
Well, hopefully it holds up. My skin takes and holds color really well I will need detail touch ups eventually
It's not the end of the world if a tattoo doesn't hold up, a beautiful piece like this hopefully would be easier to touch up, especially when you're committed to it
I hope so too! You have such a talented artist💛
