i kinda need suggestions on what my tatto should look like. i just turned 18 and i want to get a tatoo. nothing extreme but i just had a baby that i named gabriel and i want to get a tatoo with his name. what i need suggestions for is for things like placement, size, and what type of picture would go best with it. i was thinking a dove but im not sure how well whitish tatoos would work out. any advice would be great thanks.

I had my sons name written in Japanese on my arm. But some of the good artist that do them now a days can do a real like image of your child on your body but hey that costs loads of $$$$.

Keep us up dated and remeber they last a life time so ensure you pick one you wanna stick with and feel happy with.

Hi again,
If you have any ties to, or inclination toward, Christian ideology, you could get an angel of sorts, after the archangel of the same name. Perhaps an inscription like "Gabriel. Mommy's little angel." Just a thought.

A friend of mine has her four kids names tattooed around her upper arm in like a bracelet with small images in between to seperate the names. I am offering this now so you might think about if you have other children, how those would work in too?

I have one suggestion. Get a small tattoo in a place that is hidden for odds are that sometime in the future you will want to have the tattoo removed therefore the reason to have in a place that is hidden because tattoos are not always very good looking after they have been removed. If you don't believe me about wanting it removed call you local determotologist and ask some questions.

And in my situation, the nursing school I go to will not accept anyone with a visible tatoo or piercing. Just wait

I was 38 when I decided to enroll and this is one of the best schools in my area.

So if I had that tatoo that was visible, I could have a 4.0 GPA, but could not get in. And the nurses that graduate from my school get some of the highest paying jobs in our area. Like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

The same was true of the college I attended for massage. Strong emphasis was placed on all aspects of appearance; more formal attire, shoes, hair, no jewelry. Some people had a great deal of tattoos, but none they were not able to easily cover. The one person who had an eyebrow you could hang a shower curtain off of, had to eventually remove all their piercings. Piercings and tattoos are a factor in may areas of employment, and unfortunately, do sometimes alter an employer's view of certain potential employees, despite their often stellar credentials.

I saw a lady that had her babys foot prints tattooed on her. The artist dipped the baby's feet in something and transfered them to her shoulder (back) and also put his name below. Looked really cool!
