Biker; Thank you. I’ve been struggling with something for it since I found out he died. I’ve finally been able to find all the perfect things that describe what I feel, the positives. At first I wanted a sad tattoo,but, I thought, in the future, when I was ok, would I want a sad reminded or something that celebrates him?

Butterfly; Thank you. :3…[Read more]

For sure. And I’ll, of course, eventually post the final on my skin too.

I really like that idea. I think I’ll start working on a design circling around that idea and see how I like it.
Thank you very much. 🙂

I figure the sooner I get it off the less session’s it’ll take right? Since the ink is fresher and hasn’t had too much time to settle into the skin?

Thanks! I’ll be sure to take a look at that the next time, and check it with the internet before I get the ink on.

Thanks so much! That actually sounds like a really good idea. I’ll keep that in mind and bring it up with my guy.

And that’s true about the Egypt thing. (I haven’t ventured far out of Cairo or Hurghada tbh.)

And while the boldening sounds like an interesting idea I really wouldn’t know how that would work.

But thank you so much for all the help!

You could always pick a word from each language and string them together into a design?
Maybe have one circle made out of words, and then a word branching out vertical around the circle or something. You can always think of a really simple design and just make the lines words.

Word of warning from being careless tho’. Especially with languages.…[Read more]

If it had bee the Latin or the Greek I really wouldn’t have cared. (Even if I do have a perfectionist nature.) But the two most important ones were the Finnish and the Arabic, it’s why I even bothered to call long distance to check the translation.

I doubt I’d mind just doing something to that upper corner banner, maybe covering the text with a…[Read more]

Go for it!
Especially if it’s a symbol of your resolve to yourself.
No one else really has to get it to be honest.
I’m getting a similar one the moment I’m happy with the design, and when I finish it, I will debate it with no one. Usually when I get my tattoo’s I will ask my guy’s opinion on it, what will look good 20 years from now, and what…[Read more]

Wow, that’s a nice design.
I think it does go really well with the roots you’re trying to show. Only thing is, I think it might look better if each image was clearly defined, instead of fading into each other where they meet. One on top of the other.
I’d also, when you get it, make sure you go to someone who’s good at doing more realistic…[Read more]

That has to be just about the most ridiculous theory I’ve ever heard lol. I can tell you’re not a parent. Try applying that to other things. A kid wants a tattoo and you don’t let them do it. Is that equal an act as forcing the kid to get a tattoo she doesn’t want?

-shrugs- I’d say go for it I guess, not at that age but maybe a bit older (earlier than her teens). The reason I say that is that in my experiance I have never met a girl who had as their main/only reason of not getting her ears pierced being that she was scared of the pain or the needle. (Not saying that there aren’t girls out there who just…[Read more]

Thanks so much for the input!

I did consider leaving it as is. For story sakes or something.

But a new idea I had as I was going through my options (I looked at the laser and other methods, not too thrilled about them). I was thinking I could color in the banner with the Arabic, and then the banner with the Latin. (Cutting my losses type of…[Read more]
