So, I'm going to offer some info about me in hopes that you guys can give me some good ideas for a tattoo.

I'm 22. The name is Cherish. I'm an Optician. My father passed when I was 15 of cancer. I have one half-sister. I love chihuahuas.

Now, here are som ideas:

Memorial for Dad.
Matching sister tat.
Something involving my name.

First, I don't really want any tattoos in my body... because the bible says our body is the temple of God, and we should look after it... it was just loaned to us...

:rolleyes: Amazing!

As a start CM, have you seen any designs on other people that you like and could have something similar, or are you going for all-out originality?

I don't want anything close to anything anyone else has.

And I should probably mention that I am not at all religious. No crosses or such. Feel free to ask questions to get more info.

Fair play!

Well a memorial to your Dad sounds a really nice idea then, and will be unique (unlike matching tatoos with your Sister, as you'll both have them! Ha ha!)

You are new here, so I will spare you a reddie. I did not ask anything about religion, god, or your beliefs. I asked suggestions on designs for tattoos.

That's something I really want to do, but cannot perfect an idea.

Two of the ideas I had was his name or initals with angel wings and a halo (but that makes no sense since I'm not religious)

And another was just his eyes (which the drawing looked pretty creepy).

So any ideas ON TATTOOS are always well received.

Sorry, but its just my opinion... I don't want you be sorry later, having a tattoo,. and when that times come I hoped you'll remember what I have said... good luck

Ha ha ha, behave! Are you Jewish or something 1300?

Anway, back to the question in hand! It seems like you've already put a bit of thought into this tattoo! Is there anything your Dad liked doing or maybe something to do with his job that you could incorporate?

He was a tattoo artist. But I don't want it to be about what he did, but more who he was. I was also thinking of incorporating my sister in there. He's not her bio father, but was there when she was born, signed for birth certificate, and was her father her whole life. She's hawaiian.

There is also an azalea plant named cherish, I was thinking maybe something with that, a hawaiian flower, and something for ym dad... Just pondering random things.

His name is Daniel Andrew, if that helps... sorry, can't reveal last names...

Perhaps you could just have the flower as a memorial to your Dad? As simple as that!

What sort of flower? I want something that means something.

The Cherish flower... although you would need to find out what it looks like first! It will always mean something so long as it means something to you!

It's not a flower, just a plant, and conveys not about who he was. That's what I want this tattoo to mean. See why I've waited four years? I was planning to get this when I turned 18.

Sorry, but the Cherish has a flower, specifically a "semi-double hose-in-hose flower form with slightly frilled margins, coral-pink flower color with a dark coral-pink blotch", I wouldn't have suggested it otherwise! Ha ha! Surely that conveys the name he chose for you!

Anyway, you don't want that, back to the drawing-board!

My Dad didn't pick my name, my Mom did... But you're right, it does have a flower... none that I googled showed flowers... lame!

But I was thinking of something flowy pretty ethereal

ChihuahuaMomma was just looking for an opinion on what tattoo to have and not a judgment call! If someone wants to judge whether it's right or wrong to have a tattoo according to there religious beliefs, then it would be best for them to be posting about that on a religious board and not one that is about Body Art.

Ok, so I was thinking of something... what about just "Dad" written in beautiful calligraphy with an eagle feather quill? I thought of eagle feather because they are rare, and so was he... yay or nay?

Hm. Missed this question until now..

Is there something that you shared with your father? Something special? Maybe an activity... a book... song...
