i'm hardly ever spontaneous when it comes to big decisions [except for getting my nose pierced for my birthday last year], so i have a few ideas in mind.
eventually i want to have two, or possibly one combined, tattoo to symbolize my parents.
mom ideas: heart [cliche, but then again her birthday is on valentine's day so i've been buying her heart-themed gifts for years], hummingbird [her favorite bird], or a flower of some sort [i'm a sucker for those traditional rose tattoos when they look classy and the coloring is done right].
my dad is much harder to symbolize.
so far my only idea is to get an ant [my dad got his doctorate in bug science and he and his best friend have a thing for digging around in ant piles].
perhaps i could tie it all together somehow? an ant crawling on a rose...and then a completely separate heart somewhere else?
location-wise i'm thinking ribs on my right side, right hip, wrist, or on my left side a bit down from my collarbone.
the size would probably be moderate [medium?] to small.
any suggestions would be appreciated!
here are some photos via flickr that brought out some inspiration:
i love the simplicity and the key motif.
1. she's gorgeous.2. the placement is perfect.
i like how the designs are outline-y.
i'm not very into skulls, but this tattoo is cute and a great size.
i like the design of these roses, but i would want to bring out more yellow and make the edges softer.any thoughts?
xx,
sarah
