tattoos ideas for kids initials image
Kendra
ok so i know that tatoo's are on your body forever unless you pay tons of money to get them removed, but im thinking about getting my fiances initials tatooed next to mine. would you do it and why or why not?
Answer
Okay, my perspective on this has evolved, a little bit, both as I've come to learn and appreciate more about tattoos, and relationships. First, I much prefer initials over names, all across the board. I still don't like text tattoos, but if you feel the only possible way you can represent someone is through their initials, then so be it (if you can't think of a single other thing that reminds you of that person, and that would make you think of them, when you look at it, you need to re-evaluate your relationship). Second, no one ever likes to think about it, but take it from a soon-to-be-divorcee, not all relationships last. Some do, and they're beautiful, and wonderful, and perfect. But not all. Given that, consider how you feel about the owner of the initials, and your own M.O. in break-ups. Are you the kind of person who stays friends with your exes? Do you keep mementos and pictures to remind you of all the fun times you had, even though it might have ended badly? Or are you the sort that burns your exes' images in effigy? Do your friends automatically know not to refer to any of them by their actual given name in front of you?
If you're the former, get the tattoo. No matter what happens, it'll remind you of this person you love, and this time in your life. If you're the latter, don't do it. Get a heart, or a star that's his favorite color, or something else small, symbolic, and easily covered or incorporated into a greater work.
Finally, are you planning on having kids? Consider getting a tattoo that's representative of the two of you, that could be added on to, to represent the rest of your growing family. My favorite example is a tree, with flowers or fruit for each person. Or a group of animals, or a bouquet of flowers, or whatever floats your boat!

What do you think of this idea for my tattoo representing my passion for photography and children?
Q. Three blocks, like the wooden ones kids play with that have the letters on them, with a camera sitting on top of them
Dont answer my question if you are just going to talk down on it. I did not ask for your opinion on tattoos in general, I asked for opinions on my idea. I already have a tattoo which I love and two more planned before this one will be done.
Thank you to the others who are giving me honest answers on my idea. If you guys have other ideas on how I could make it more unique please fell free to include those in your answer :)
It isnt just a phase, I have been passionate about photography and children my whole life. I work right now as a bus monitor for kids with autism and I do photography jobs on the side. I am only 19 so I hope to do something more with my photography later on.

i like the block idea, but i'm not sure about the camera. not that i think a camera would be a bad idea i just think putting blocks (very un-detailed) with a camera (very detailed) would look kind of silly. try something a little less detailed to go with the blocks. here are a few ideas:
a polaroid (sp?) of a pile of blocks. maybe have the blocks say your initials.
blocks with a roll of film wrapping around them.
or maybe just do two completely separate tattoos.
those are just a few ideas, but it's really up to you. you're the one who has to wear it forever. good luck with it. i'm sure you'll enjoy it as long as it's something that you're passionate about.
