Can someone give me some advice?

3d butterfly tattoo design image

I am getting a tattoo of the roman numerals MMIX. I want a little advice though. I want a small tattoo, but I was wondering if I should add something more to it. This tattoo is a HUGE deal to me because I finally got a college degree after only having a G.E.D. also I am the first in my family to go to college. I was wondering what I could add to it, and I have thought of a butterfly, but I wanted someone else's opinion, thanks!
I am a 32 year old female

There's different ways to do this:

How you do the letters could be blocky, light and airy, with shading, 3D, made to look like stone or wood, etc. You can use colors solid or with fading. I would explore different lettering techniques before committing.

etc.
Also, you could put a flower or a bird or something else that is meaningful to you with it.
Take any and all images and ideas with you to your tattoo artist, and have him/her help you work out a custom design. Remember that letters should not be smaller than 1/2" with good skin space around to hold up well over time and not blur.

Covering up wings tattoo on wrist. Which do you think will work best? Please answer?

Cassandra

Okay so about a year ago I got wings tattooed on my wrist and at the time I thought they looked good. But now I'm ashamed to let anyone see it because I hate how they look. People always ask what it is, and tell me it looks like so many different things. This weekend I am going to see if I can get it covered up with a different tattoo. I don't know if you have to have a certain design to cover it up but I'm going to try and go with a butterfly. A blue butterfly because the meaning of it is beautiful.

Here's my messed up wings: http://m804.photobucket.com/albumview/albums/vicecassy11/D3F41001-3D98-4168-82F9-D63186410075-5318-0000025F3705A405.jpg.html?newest=1&pbauth=1_uLEBonVPfaLdh1h3YMYz2fxXAmMOR6mfBLuHVrt3aLbsvlKGOOcFNCaRrS904SLAlrxIasc4pbyOY5FmXMYn8WiabKEX%2BK88z0k5lKMaNFcnE9cCrsN0SP%2FVsZzff%2FAtXskphySe929y%2BwXC8U%2BvmbtN%2B1P0BpRKA9%2FKyIz%2Bltc%3D&pbauth=1_uLEBonVPfaLdh1h3YMYz2fxXAmMOR6mfBLuHVrt3aLbsvlKGOOcFNCaRrS904SLAlrxIasc4pbyOY5FmXMYn8WiabKEX%2BK88z0k5lKMaNFcnE9cCrsN0SP%2FVsZzff%2FAtXskphySe929y%2BwXC8U%2BvmbtN%2B1P0BpRKA9%2FKyIz%2Bltc%3D

I'm really wanting this: http://m804.photobucket.com/albumview/albums/vicecassy11/DF6F34B9-D9FC-4928-A6B1-15DB7A80E274-5318-0000025F4276E898.jpg.html?newest=1&pbauth=1_uLEBonVPfaLdh1h3YMYz2fxXAmMOR6mfBLuHVrt3aLbsvlKGOOcFNCaRrS904SLAlrxIasc4pbyOY5FmXMYn8WiabKEX%2BK88z0k5lKMaNFcnE9cCrsN0SP%2FVsZzff%2FAtXskphySe929y%2BwXC8U%2BvmbtN%2B1P0BpRKA9%2FKyIz%2Bltc%3D&pbauth=1_uLEBonVPfaLdh1h3YMYz2fxXAmMOR6mfBLuHVrt3aLbsvlKGOOcFNCaRrS904SLAlrxIasc4pbyOY5FmXMYn8WiabKEX%2BK88z0k5lKMaNFcnE9cCrsN0SP%2FVsZzff%2FAtXskphySe929y%2BwXC8U%2BvmbtN%2B1P0BpRKA9%2FKyIz%2Bltc%3D

Do you think it will work? And which butterfly do you like best? Thank you so much!

Answer
I personally like the second butterfly better, but either one should easily cover up the wings, and you can't go wrong with that.
