Finally have an idea for new tats!! I have two sons, they are 4 and (almost) 2 yrs old....I was thinking of getting their hand prints....but now the question is where....I was thinking....both of them come up and grab my leg and hug me so I was thinking somewhere like that....or on my arms? I don't know...i was thinking one hand from each boy.
I was all hyped about this idea until I came across the idea that people do this when they lose a child. I was completely saddened by this....is it still a good idea?
I thought it would be cute....since they are still little, it would capture this moment in time that seems to slip by us to quickly....it would capture their childhood forever and forever be with me.
Something meaningful right.
Input from anybody who reads this would be appreciated...
Thanks...

I like it, but I'm a sentimental softie. Talk to more than one artist to see what they can come up with so that you will be happy with the result. This is not something you want to second guess after its done.

What a cool idea.Just cause others use Tattoos as memorials does not been you have to as well It could be like a growth chart. The ones now could mark where they hug you, and as they grow and reach milestones a new tattoo could be add to represent that.Their life stories told in symbols on there mothers body. It gives me shivers to think of it! Let us know what you decide.
