I've been thinking about getting a tattoo with my girls names on my forearm. What do you think?

I love my girls to death and I would love to do something that would show them always how much they mean to me

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo with my girls names on my forearm. What do you think?
I'm assuming you mean children - names of romantic involvements tend to be thought of as the 'kiss of death' by folks to that relationship.





If so, then kids, parents, blood relations... all fairly common and generally well received. From my limited observance, it seems to be one of the more publicly acceptable tattoos as well. As a culture we say how much we like children and the family, and it looks like tattoos demonstrating that get special dispensation %26amp; approval. Who's going to dis on a tattoo dedicated to one's kids when the obvious rejoinder is "what, you hate children?"
Reply:I think thats cool. Just remember your forearm is visible so use discretion. And make sure it is something that will grow with you sa you stlye and taste changes (getting older).
Reply:its a good idea since you already know what you want done.
Reply:i think its a good idea they would love that idea
Reply:thats so sweet i think you should go for it good luck:)
Reply:I've seen many people do this, and most of them put them names on them, banner style. Some do it with a cross and a banner running through it and the names on it, looks pretty awesome!





My husband is even considering getting the outline of our two kids foot prints off the birth certificate, having them shrunk down some and tattooed on his back with their birthdates.
Reply:I think that is really beautiful (as long as your girls are you kids and not your girlfriends:P~~~) I would try a traditional banner, with something that represents them.
Reply:I think thats cool i am working on a piece that goes all the way up my side with my daughters name and some flowers and it is turning out pretty cool. I would just say try to think up something different don't go with the traditional banner or whatever
Reply:I have my daughters name on my forearm and I plan on putting my unborn son's name on the other after he is born. So yes I think it is a nice place to put them.
Reply:Sure!
Reply:Its up to man its all up to you,no one can tell you what you can and can't have put on your body.I have my kids done on my chest and my mothers memorial on my left shoulder.
Reply:On Miami Ink, I saw this guy that was going back to Iraq get a very beautiful and personal tattoo done that represented his family.





He had 5 children and represented each child with a dove - the biggest for the oldest and so on down for the youngest. He didn't put their names for safety sake, but to him he knew what they stood for.





He had some other religious symbols such as a cross and praying hands along with the doves... but in the end, I couldn't believe how breath taking it was.





Maybe what you could do is find a symbol or something that your girls really love that can represent each child. Something personal. Stay clear of their names, personally, I think symbols mean more and can be done tackfully.





I like the baby footprint idea - cause they will always be your babies no matter what. Or maybe even a good picture of other the girls faces in black and white. Or two angels playing... wings small like they're still growing. Or two cowboy hats if they enjoy horses... I think you get my drift.





A nice piece without names can be a wonderful conversation starter too!
Reply:This is a decision for you alone. Tattoos are very personal things, what difference does the opinion of strangers mean? If you want to to it, then go for it. If not, then don't.
Reply:You could do something like this. One on each arm.

good luck..love the idea
Reply:I would (if your a dad; sorry for me questioning that). Or perhaps get something that could "memorialize" them.
Reply:thats soo cute like the way david beckham did for his 1st son. i think its cool
Reply:I think you should get it. My husband said if we ever have a baby he will put there name on him. It will show them what they mean to you when they are older. Good luck with it.








rua_88 My husband has my name on the side of his neck in 3 inch script. It is not dumb to after everything we have been through in the past year he did it. We had 2 miscarriage's in one year. And i have been with him for 8 years. So no i don't think it is stupid or dumb to do it.
Reply:i think forearm tattoos are sexy on the right arms. i like big strong arms and thing that tattoos on them look good. just remember though, if get in a position to have to conceal it (for work, etc) it will be long sleeves all the time!
Reply:sry i read it wrong the 1st time if you mean you kids names then go for it... if you mean a girlfriend/wife then no
