butterfly tattoo designs with kids names image
MM
I want to get a tattoo to represent my mom, dad, brother & husband all in one tattoo but i dont know how. I was thinking the flower of their birth month but thats really common now & i dont want pictures of them. I also want to be able to add to it when I have kids. Does anyone have any ideas? thanks.
Answer
Nope. I have no idea and I've been in this business for a long time. But seriously, people face this dilemma constantly. "I don't want portraits, but I want something symbolic"and "I want their names, but that's so overdone" are the kind of things we hear in a busy shop on a daily basis. The flowers is a really common idea perhaps, much like birthstone colors incorporated into designs, horoscope symbols, etc. etc. In all my years of tattooing that's what people tend to go with more times than any other...the common, or cliche stuff, because it just works. It can be added to easily in most cases, and it just works artistically. It tends to steer you and your artist clear of having to try to work "10 lbs. of crap into a 5 lb. bag" by mixing up a bunch of different themes that are each relevant or symbolic of each person in a group but don't especially work together artistically. Especially a diverse group such as yours with a mom, dad, brother & husband. In my opinion, I would suggest doing something that YOU like for starters, for example, perhaps birds or butterflies. Do each one with a relevant pattern, or color or something symbolic of each individual and arrange them in a way that can intentionally be added to later if necessary. That might not be the answer you are looking for but I hope it helps.

What do you think about birth dates written in Roman Numerals?

I want to get both of my daughters' names & their birth dates but I'm torn between using regular numbers or roman numerals. What do you think? Any other ideas are appreciated too. :)
Answer
I love tattoos and I think its a great idea to do either one.
Just remember to look at several tattooists and their art. And remember they are people in sales trying to sell their skill and they may lie to you about it so look at their art and ask people in there about them. And often other tattoo parlors will bash others so pay no attention to it.
I think the roman numerals would be the better idea. The more you spend the better it is usually. The better the tattooist the better the skill the more it costs.
I would first think of what do they like- there favorite colors, and so on. Their personalities make it be expressed in the tattoo.
For a example I got my sons name tattooed on my inner wrist in fancy cursive. His favorite color is blue and he was a wild personality. He is 3 and very energetic. So when I got his name tattooed on me I got it in crazy cursive- fancy with loops and sharp tips. I got it shadowed in blue. great contrast with the black. I also have his astrology star constellation in basic lighter blue behind it.
So if I was you I would put a lot of thoughts into the design, the size, the money, and who does it and where. They will be there for life so dont be afraid to put in extra cash for something amazing.
If it was me I would tattoo their birth dates in roman numerals in a (011089) month month day day year year or something format. And have it outlined in black with their favorite colors and stuff in them. Like if they love purple it could be 3 shades of purple and maybe a redish shade also. So many options. I hope it works out amazing.
I seen something before that was a pretty decent size tattoo of their kids initials. It was like three inch wide letters that wrapped around the bottom of the wrist and sides and in the inside of it instead of just color filling it was butterflies. Looked awesome.
Look at tattoos on google images, the local tattoo parlors and so on. I am sure you will find something awesome. Just make sure the tattooist is awesome.
Someone can have a awesome idea but the artist sucks therefor it comes out bad. Remember to ask them what do they suggest for after care- soaps, what kind and when to lotion and so on.
