what's the concensus...if there is one...on the location of an Mdot tattoo? I was thinking of either the side or back of my calf a few inches down from the knee.

The "M" goes on each butt cheek and the dot, well....You know where the dot is

All joking aside, if you earn it, you can put it where ever you want

I know a lot of people that put it on their calf. I put mine on my right shoulder so when I pass people they would say "Oh, he's an Ironman, I can't catch him" and If I get passed they will never know

I was thinking about the back of my shoulder. I know it would be covered most of the time, but I could show it off at the pool.

Besides, if I got it done on my leg or calf, I would have to keep shaving my legs, or nobody would be able to recognize it.

If it is visible, people that are clueless will be asking "what is that?"  So you explain it and than they say, "are you CRAZY?"   "That Far?"

Mine is on the exterior of the right leg, just above the ankle. I like it there because :

- I can see it whenever I want
- At the pool, it is subtle (as the lower leg is mostly in the water)
- At work nobody sees it (you've got to be in more intimity to see it...)
- During bike rides, it's visible.... (yeah, I do like to show it too !!!)
- It is someplace where I don't get scratches, which keeps it protected (from lane cables, etc.)

Cheers,

Christian.

Well, as a woman... I have stuggled with the idea of WHERE to put it. Of course... I can't get one until I do an IM... and that MIGHT be in 2008... BUT getting the tattoo is one of my motivators... so I think about it.

I think the back of the calf is really cool... because running or biking... it can be seen.

BBBUUUTTT in a professional work environment... it can been seen if a skirt is worn at knee length. Sure, there are options for covering it: 1) Wear a long skirt, 2) Only wear pants, 3) Wear boots, 4) Wear tights instead of pantyhose.

I guess I don't like the idea of limiting my clothing options for work... or having to think about covering my tattoo.

So, it might end up on my shoulder. Then it will be seen when I'm racing (due to my tri top), or swimming. And no worries of covering it up for work.
