I think I am going to get one now. (well, it actually will be my third) With this 3rd loss I have been thinking of it all weekend. I think I will get three little hearts or something on my wrist.

Re: tattoos
OMG. I had no idea that you lost the baby. I'm so heartbroken for you.
( I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers, hon.
I like the 3 heart idea. Sounds like a very special way to remember them.
I love my tattoo. It helps me feel a little peace.
Just one word of warning about wrist tattoos - they will probably actually go lower on your forearm. Bend your wrist, and see where it creases - you need to go under that, or you risk problems healing and just general wear that will age the tattoo prematurely. Some people will go ahead and put one right at the base of your palm - but they aren't considering the longterm look of your tattoo.
Also, be sure to ask your artist about size and detail. Too small and they won't be seen well. I've found that mine isn't very distracting or particularly obvious, but it is visible and I'm really glad I did it. I hope you can also find some healing this way.
Sending you thoughts of peace.

That's a lovely idea and I'm so sorry.
My only advice is to make certain that you feel comfortable answering questions about what the tattoo is for. I have a very personal tattoo on my arm and now wish it were placed in a less noticeable location due to often being asked what it's for.
