I like it allot, but I think a third flower with yellow in it would be better than the carnation, otherwise the carnation just stands out too much. Just my thought. :);)

It's AND, not instead... they have different meanings... or do you mean the other flower suggested by someone else..

The other flower, because it was yellow, right? The other two have yellow in them, but the carnation is pink, it just stands out against the other two. If they all had yellow they would stand out on their own and not blend in to the background because of the carnation. Just my thoughts. I am an artist, so I do know a bit about contrast and colors, just my two cents. :)

I think the white one, I would get another color...

I can't do the pic thing dangit. Venus looking glass is purple, either white or yellow in middle can't tell! Okay all - I'm pooped out! Check back soon... sweet dreams

It's the 7th icon on the top of the gray box in which you are typing, and then you put your link in there...

However, I saw the purple looking glass

White would be good, that would go well. :)

I'm out too, bushed, it's 1am and my kids get up at the butt crack of dawn.

Night all. :)

It's going to be great no matter what you decide - there is so much thought and meaning behind this - very nice. I like the blue butterfly idea too... okay night now

G'night folks!

Have you come to any conclusions? : )

Nothing official yet, but this is a good solid idea to take to a tattoo artist.

Yes it most certainly is! : ) Hope it turns out great

Thank you...

I'm thinking of maybe just the periwinkle ribbon. My friend suggested the ribbon in between my shoulder blades and then have it moved down to form a corset down my back.

Maybe the ribbon and one of the flowers?

I think getting a tattoo to remember someone is a great memorial. I have 2 tattoos, one for my heritage and one for my grandma who made me what I am today. They give me hope.

Anyway, have you thought about his intials inside a heart? I know that is kind of the normal, but if you play around with sizes and colors it could be cool. Or maybe a flower with his initials by the vine. Was there something you two did together before he passed away that you can incorporate? Maybe even his zodiac sign or something he really loved, whether it's a hobby, sport or musical instrument.

I don't want a heart with his intials, too predictable. And I've already answered the questions at the end of your post, please read back..

I liked the idea you said earlier about getting "dad" or maybe even his initials with a quil. I like that you were thinking that because he was unique. People would ask about it and it would have a great story behind it. Did he have a nickname that people referred to him by often?

Nope.

Hey there ChihuahuaMomma.. thinkin' Ribbon now? You do whatever feels right to you... Saucy idea.. the corset down the back. LOVE IT!! Keep me posted, still excited for you - I think new tattoos are soooooo great, and one with special meaning - of course! : )

What do you think about the ribbon?

I am wondering if I lost something in these posts about the symbology of the ribbon? I love the moving it down to a corset idea - fricken cool - and super unique.
