My misses was asking what i wanted for Christmas and as i was watching Miami Ink at the time, so decided a tattoo would be nice.
I have been thinking about it for years, but now have to come up with a design.
An idea:
My eldest son used to call grapes, chups (one of his first words), so i would like grapes in the design.
My youngest son winges a lot, but i don't want that in the design ;D
We used to throw the odd biscuit into his cot when we were having a up cup of tea in the morning :o(it was like feeding time at the zoo :D ) so maybe ?
My baby daughter is called Autumn, so maybe some golden leaves.
Does this sound rubbish so far?
About £100 will be the limit, could i get much for that?
Any pictures of your tattoo's, links or ideas would be appritiated.

depending on how much work you want the tattoo artist to do would add up on the cost, if you have someone to draw it for you then it would reduce the cost because the tattooist could do an outline of the picture and copy it that way that is how i had one of mine done. my brother drew it for me. as for what to have i dont know what to suggest but i will give it some thought

As you can see we had a discussion in the watershed about tats, there is another link on there but remember it is in the watershed.
Autumn, grapes? adds up to last of the summer wine ;D but look up the celtic signs for one or the other and incorporate that into the design.

Did this thread involve getting a couple of W's strategically located?

Thanks for the link :o it is a very good design ;D
I don't really want a celtic design as i don't think it will look as good in years to come.
I remember seeing a really old film and the old sailor had a girl/woman on a swing tattoo'd on his leg covering his knee, her legs were on the lower part of his leg so when he moved his lower leg it looked like the lady was moving.
ok, nothing to do with my original idea but it would look good.

I tell you what though, Google's right in there with it's adverts, isn't it!

A footprint of the baby was an idea i had a while ago.
I guess i could have her footprint with some leaves going around it ???
I will add more money to it if it means a better tattoo.

Hi all
I Have a number of original and unique tattoos. In some cases I have found an image that I liked, then adapted it to suit myself, in other cases I have had someone draw the image from scratch. In all instances though, I've had a good idea of what I wanted beforehand.
However you decide to do it, once you have the image, it's no problem for the tattooist to produce a transfer from it.
One thing I will say, is that, no matter what anyone else tells you, yes, it does hurt........

I have a tribal moon around my belly button. It was done at a time in my life where things were changing and it was very symbolic for me. I don't like lettering as I find they get dull and unreadable after a time so I had the Japanese kanji for Eternity done on the top of my arm for my children, thats how long I will love them for.
I want another one but haven't settled on a design yet. I'm thinking of a triple moon with a raven standing on top because it says so much about who I am.

As a person who has worked with the elderly, and as a person who has a tattoo herself, I would caution against any large design. Gravity takes over after a certain age and it don't look pretty!!
;)

What are they?
Solorn

I want a raven because it's the one animal thats been a constant in my life. Given that I follow an earth based belief I believe that we all have an animal that touches us in some way, the raven is mine. It's also a name I use, and have done since I was about 10, in certain circles of people. Hope that explains it.

would just like to add if money is an issue you can always get it done in sessions as and when you can afford it! a friend of mine had a piece done over a six month period so dont feel you have to get it rushed! i like the sound of the footprint idea as well.
i wouldn't go as far as to say that they hurt i think it's more about which part of the body you get them done on.....i find them more of an irritating pain a bit like gordon brown :)
-
the one on my shoulder was fine but i have to say the one on my spine hurt at times like hell but would love another one

I don't want to spend a massive amount but the sessions sound a good idea.
Solorn
How would i find out what my childrens animals are, or would it be disrespectful to your beliefs?
So debs where's the next one going?

don't be like the boyfriend of my ex-partner's sister (who was a naval type person). He had an enormous galleon tattooed on his leg with a scroll underneath "Homward Bound"
Check that English is at least the second language of you tattooist

Ah yes, or my mate who got his cellmate to do his on his arm whilst living at Her Majesty's pleasure...
It read "Ride the Lighting" (instead of "Ride the Lightning" for those less well versed in the work of Metallica)...

doesn't Sporty Spice have a tattoo in Japanese that she thought said "Woman" but which actually means "Woman (Toilet)"?

Nilly,
Only your children know what their animal guides are. Thats not something I can help with I'm afraid. It will be an animal that symbolizes their inner strengths and personality though. An no, you weren't being disrespectful:) I would rather someone asked me that just made a random guess. Most children know at an early age but we 'grow out of it' as we get older. My kids have an eagle, a shark and giaraffe as their animals.

I tell you what though, Google's right in there with it's adverts, isn't it!
So why is it when I was in Italy the ads at the bottom of the thread were for an ITALIAN adoption agency?
Didn't matter what the subject, all the adverts at the top were English, and "would you like to adopt a child" at the bottom!
??? ::) ??? ::) ??? ::)

Thanks Solorn, very interesting.

Autumn 10 months
I will ask them, maybe they can draw me something.
Well the eldest two can have a go :) i think a footprint or hand print is the way to go for the baby.
