Need ideas on a new tattoo

I have some ideas, but could use more...

Tattoo #1: I want something involving the word TRUST, perhaps in sanskrit or some ancient german or something. I don't know where I want the placement.

Tattoo #2: I want something in memorial of my Dad. My original idea was the word DAD with angel wings and a halo, kinda boring, and now that i saw a girl get the EXACT same tattoo on Miami Ink, I no longer want that. I want something with angel wings and a halo (maybe?) though. I want something very pretty and ethereal.. Kinda glwing.

Any ideas, drawings, or pictures would be greatly appreciated.

It's just if you specifically said you were not religious I would stay away from Sanskrit too! You know one rule for one etc!


An friend of a friend of mine had a question mark formed in stars on her lower back! This was special to her because her and her grandfather used to look at stars together and he would point out question marks!

Try and think of what was special to your father, what you would take the time to enjoy together!

starbuck8 agrees: that's a nice way to remember!

Thanks for the advice on the sanskrit though. You're right, I should probably just enjoy the beauty of it on paper and not my body since it has no real meaning to me.

I didn't mean any disrespect to you by saying that I thought it was sad that you didn't believe in anything. Believe in yourself for sure...you're the one that knows you best right?

I grew up in an extremely religious family too, and I definately saw the flaws!...enough to know that I didn't want to belong to any particular church or religion. However, I'm spiritual, and still need to believe in a higher power, as well as believe I can make my own choices as to what that is!

I think your Dad's eyes would be beautiful...and unique!! I betcha he will know that you are remembering him like that, and would love the tat!

Thank you. I actually found a very similar picture of a tattoo.



Pretty much exactly like this but in between my shoulder blades. And a straight on picture, not tilted like that one. I love the eye color contrast to the shading.

WOW!!...those are some piercing eyes!! Your Dad's eye's between your shoulder blades would probably look really cool. The ones' in the pic looks like a big nose underneath if you know what i mean, LOL!!. Maybe that was the intention...i don't know Who ever did that tatoo is a damn good artist though!

I'd love to see your tat when you actually get it done tho. Although I don't have any tatoo's myself...I love artistic people!!

Haha, I never noticed the nose, that's funny. I will definitely post a pic when I get it done.
