I need a little tattoo help.

First off, sorry to hear of your loss. I deal with this question almost on a weekly bases and would be honored to help you organize your ideas into a workable piece of art. Have you found a TRUE ARTIST to put this on your skin? Not all art will translate well to skin (as previously stated), post some of your ideas and I'll give you my honest opinion on what I feel will work. I will do all I can to help and if you want my ideas on it I will give them freely but, the tat should be yours. Hope I can help.

Kaa, it's ironic the tattoo you want. Because it's exactly the opposite of what mine means. There's a dark story behind it - one I don't want to get into, but the tattoo is japanese characters that say:

Sorrow, Regret, ... Forgiveness

and that's all. No fancy images - just words. A reminder to myself. :oops:

Personally I like the rabbit and the flowers, both should translate well into a tat.....Just a thought, would a Halo signify your moms belief, while still respecting yours? The Halo placed on or over the rabbit could hold a double meaning. I've been at the studio all day and my brain is running low on ideas at this point. As for the style of tat (color, black and grey) what do you think? For memorial tattoos and most others I think Black and Grey with hits of color to draw your attention in to key points works great and adds a very emotional feel to the piece of art............Some ideas, what do ya think?

I had planned on black and white with a touch of color so I'm glad you agree on that part. I thought of something as I was browsing the internet so I think I'll try and draw it up tonight or tomorrow. I'll post it tomorrow as I'm not at home right now and don't have the technology to upload photos atm.

Until then, the more ideas the better. <3 Thanks a bunch.

P.S. - the rabbit and flowers was the girliest idea of them all I think. -lol- My mom had pretty girly interests but I dont, so it's hard to put her rememberances on me without looking like a frilly girl. -lol-

My first thought reading your post was a bunny with angel wings, but there are so many possibilities with the combinations you mentioned.

I agree with the above on doing a ton of sketches and seeing what looks and feels right, or is at least leading in the best direction. Course, you already know that, but it's late and I'm babbling now as I catch up on things so I'm sure you'll forgive me :P

I like the bunnies... I think you can do alot with that. Some of the classic illustrations (Beatrix Potter, etc.) would make great tatts... but I like animal illustrations... :)

Lends itself nicely to mom homage as well... bedtime stories... all that stuff.
