TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

Let's talk tattoos, ladies

So, I am adding my fourth star for my birthday (unless my RE says I can't while ttc) for Baby Feb. Even though the other stars are in the birthstone colors, I want this one in purple. That is the color for Feb. and that is how I think of this baby.

I also want to add an image for DH and I. I was originally going to go with birds, before I realized I hate birds. I like the "idea" of lovebirds, but it wasn't the right fit.

I am now totally sold on elephants. Two of them, under the stars. In blue, the color for September (the month we were married)

Here are some images...whadda you think?

My personal favorite, without the hearts on the tail and side:

I also love this one, but I think the elephant looks mean. I would want the expression softened. They would be sitting like this, facing each other:

And the third, which I think is super cute:

Thoughts? Opinions? Think they all suck?

  • I like the first two, and I think a good tattoo artist could do a really good job redrawing the second one to soften it a bit.
  • I'm in love with the first one.

    Yay! I'm glad people like the first one, I found it after a lot of looking and thought "that's it!"
  • I love the first one!  Show it to a really good artist and let them have a go at it.  You'd be surprised at what beauty a great artist can come up with.
  • I love the first one. Love.
