I'm thinking of getting a tattoo as a memorial to Eleanor. I don't have any other tattoos currently. Help me with inspiration. I'm not sure what I want to get.
I want to get an elephant holding the birth flowers of both my children in its trunk. Elephants have always been my favorite animal, but reading what they symbolize is what really made me choose that. They symbolize strength, both mental and physical, wisdom, peace and memory because like the saying, an elephant never forgets. I just thought it was perfect for a loss mom.
I'm thinking about his feet with wings on them and his name... I've never had one either. I want an inconspicuous place for it and I'm a little scared of diseases even from a reputable shop... I'm a chicken and I always swore I wouldn't ever get one...
I would like to get a butterfly with haley under it. I'm to chicken of needles to do it! I have wanted one for a long time now but I don't know if I can take the pain.
I had mine done about two weeks after her passing. I got a wrist bracelet tattoo on my left wrist. It is her name on the top with pretty lines that flow into her date of her stillbirth. I absolutely love it, I get compliments on it all the time. If you want to see a picture of it message me and I will send you one of it. I am so happy I have it done. Now when I am somewhere out in public and I start thinking about her I look at her name and trace her spelling of her name... makes me feel like I am still connected to her in a way.
I love this topic as I already know what I will do, just waiting for the right time. I will be getting the outline of his feet on the inside of my wrist. I'm debating on the brown/sepia tone ink to kind of match his skin color or white. I'm considering white because this truly is a tattoo for me and will allow me to get it sooner than later as it will be less noticeable to the world, but there for me to look at. Then as I'm ready I can show it more and talk about it.

Here is mine. The only thing I regret is not getting it somewhere I could see all the time. It's on my shoulder.
