Tattoo symbolizing my son?

CJ&Drewsmo

I have wanted to get a tattoo with my son's name somehow fitted in. Does anyone have any ideas besides using his hand or foot? He is 14 months old and at this point his foot and hand are too big to use..I want something small and dainty.
Also, his initials ar C.J. which I also wanted to incorporate somehow.
His b-day is March, and umm...any ideas or drawings would be great!
You can also IM me with any pictures.
Thanks!
I don't know what some of the comments on here are about...(saying that only sluts and bikers have tattoo's)
I have 1 tattoo already and I'm neither(not that that matters)...the point is that if your going to answer a question just to get 2 lousy pints then don't waste your time on one of mine,cause I won't put up with it!!!

Answer
I have 2 kids and am getting a butterfly with their names as the edges of the wings. It's kind of hard to imagine but the letters of the name will be going down the side of the wing in some kind of script font. You might could do the same thing with his name as the body of the butterfly. Are you done having kids? If not you know you'll have to get a new tattoo with each new child...

What about a butterfly tattoo?

Anna

So before i tell you what it it here's a little backstory to why i want it. My mom had a tough life growing up (with details that don't need to be explained) and so the butterfly became something that made her stronger. for her it simbilized re-birth and letting the past go and starting a new and better future with her growing family. However, my mom died when i was three years old. And to me it means sort of the same and though i will never be able to forget her i can not let it negatively effect my future.

When i decided i wanted a tattoo i knew it was going to be there forever and i didn't want something that didn't mean something. So i was thinking of getting some sort of butterfly tattoo with her name incorporated somehow.

i know that sounds discreet but when i do go to get my tattoo (won't be for a few years) i'm going to have an artist custom sketch my tattoo so it is more unique

Is that a good enough reason to have a tattoo. i know it will always mean something to me. And if anyone has an idea of where to get it that doesn't sag to bad, in a stretch mark area, or might take away from me getting a job that would be awesome too. (pain really isn't an issue)
Omg i was set on my thigh last night before i checked this

Answer
this is going to sound crazy, and i swear on my life it's true, but my mom had a tough childhood, too (no details) and ever since she was a little kid she has loved dragon flies and how they could just fly away from it all. i plan on being a model, but in honor of her, i want i dragonfly tattoo in a few years. i have decided i want it either just inside of one of my hip bones below my underwear line or to one side of my upper back. i was thinking of incorporating her name into the body area so that it looks like the segments of the body and using her two favorite colors on the wings.

What are some good ideas for children's names?

butterfly tattoo with kids names image

Shay

I am getting a tattoo of my children's names. I have two, a boy and a girl. I was thinking of getting their names around my ankle with something like a heart separating the names. I do not want the typical solid heart though. Looking for unique ideas.

And I don't care if YOU think tattoos are stupid I like them and it will be meaningful and I don't care how it will look when I am old. So save all your dumb comments for someone else.

Answer
When i got tattoos for my girls I did a lilly and a rose, my daughters names, with a celtic love knot in the middle.

My sister in law has a butterfly with her daughters name in it on her ankle. Now hse has a son too and after a lot of thinking and talking she decided to have a vine done from her foot to her leg with a monkey on it holding a banana that has his name in it.

My cuz did a moon on her ankle that is blowing stars and star dust. Each star has a the name of one of her kids.

Kid tattoos can be a lot of fun.

I like the key hole in this one and you could get a key between the names on the other side

You can take the banner out and mix it up a little (more feathery or fairy like wings things like that)

If your irish you could use this (or even if you just like the claddagh) and put the names for the band

If you want something cute you could do a lady bug or even 2 put together to make a heart.


Good luck

How can I represent my family members in a tattoo?

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.
