Answer
Ok.I do not agree with anyone who says you shouldn't get a tattoo.
I have a few tattoos. Every tattoo I have means something very special to me. My first one was of a butterfly on my back of my grandfather that had passed away. He always attracted butterfly's when he was outside. That's a memory I have with me at all times.
I have a browning dear and my sons name, for my oldest son. Hes a animal lover and is a hunter. I will soon be getting one for my baby boy. I have my husbands name on me, he is a big part of my life. If we ever do split then he will still be part of my life because we share both our blood in our kids.
So don't let know one else make your mind up If you want a tattoo then make sure its something that when u look at your tattoo everyday you can smile because it brings back a special memory or a face of a loved one. Your husband is someone special to you and he will always be the father of your kids. The saying you have picked out is sweet. I have to agree. While I'm here on earth my family is as close to heaven as ill get, Until god calls me home.
Hope you get something special.
Remember be proud and show Ur tattoos, You get them because you wanted them.

It feels like someone is using a razor to cut you, and then holding a lighter inches from your skin. After the first 10 minutes or so your endorphins kick in and it doesn't hurt as bad, but it sure don't tickle.
They take a needle with ink and pierce your skin, driving the ink into the layers of epidermis.
To take care of it, you keep it clean - use antibacterial soap four or five times a day to clean it, then use a fragerance and dye free lotion to keep it moist - the goal is to keep it from scabbing. If it scabs over, that's not a problem in and of itself, but if you pick at the scabs or they are ripped off, someof the color from your tattoo can come off as well. It takes 7-10 days to heal, and you shouldn't swim or take a soaking bath (showers are okay, just try not to let the water hit it too much - you don't want it to get waterlogged) and you should avoid exposure to the sun for the first two weeks or so.
As for what to get, I highly recommend grey-scale. That's where they use all blacks and greys instead of color - when the colors fade out, it can look pretty awful. Have something drawn up and hang onto it for three or four months. Then look at it again - critically - and see if you still like it. If you do, it's time to shop for an artist. If you don't, start all over again.
Now that you've got a design that you like, you need to think about where to put it. You should keep in mind that gravity will take over when you get older - and that a great deal of white collar employers require that tattoos not be visible - so the side of your neck is probably not a good decision. The 'tramp stamp' is pretty popular right now, the one at the small of the back - but you won't be able to see it very well, and really, what's the point of that? Try to decide on a location that can be concealed to keep from traumatizing your kids, but is easy to show off if you have a mind to.
If there is a bone close to the surface (spine, shin, ankle, elbow) or if it's a particulary sensitive area (the inside of your upper arm in the case of a tribal band) you probably want to avoid that for the first one.
If you are unsure if you can take the pain, ask the tattoo artist to draw on you with a dry needle first. That's a pretty good gauge.
Oh, last thing - NO NAMES - it's a curse for your relationship if they are living. Trust me.
In hindsight, I wish I'd done some kind of theme with mine, like all butterflies of different colors, shapes, and sizes - that could have been cool.
So, draw it out, think it over, and don't make any rash decisions. You have to live with this for the rest of your life.
