Hi,

I am a newbie, shortly turning 50 and have decided I want to get a
tattoo that somehow incorporates my 3 kids.

I'm thinking right upper arm. Nothing too big maybe 3" in diameter. Definitely color.
I also wonder about location the upper arm seems relatively tight, but
I don't want the tattoo to be a sagging mess in 10 or 15 years.

As far as the image itself, that's the hard part.
My daughter - small frog
My older son - lizard/gecko
My toddler boy - Cow, cricket or maybe rooster.

How do I incorporate these 3 images into some sort of meaningful overall scene?

I've also thought about 3 planets or stars or something, but as there has always been an association of sorts with the animals described and the respective child that seems like a neat direction to go in.

I'm open to any ideas from the experts...

Thanks!

Mark

Have you thought of the Chinese symbols to them. as for each year ther is a diofferent symbol. Like I'm born under the Dog while my wife is born under the Tiger.
So that could look good if you had the thre symbols and under them place their names or somethink like that.
