Ok. Be honest, was it just me, or is it people who seek advice on
topics they don't know much about in general that bother you? LOL.

BTW, stop partially quoting me. I don't really care what people think
ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT I __GET__ A TATTOO. I'm seeking suggestions for
the content of my tattoo. if you have a thought regarding that, I'd
welcome it.

I have a great idea for a tattoo now. "KavinTaylor@gmail.com" in a
REALLY COOL font, tattood on my ass. Do you like Helvetica or Ariel?

LOL

How does the sentence: "I've always been interested in getting one,
and at my age (38), I feel like I don't really care what others think,
if I want one, I should get it. " Lead you to believe that I'm seeking
justification for getting a tattoo? What I am asking about, is
content. Looking for ideas... From people I presumed had more
experience with this than I do.

Well, technically, I said "important" not "significant" 8-) (semantics
are important, yes I'm baiting you).

Clearly, you don't like the name idea. I'm looking for suggestions
that others have seen/thought of to do a tattoo honoring a daughter
(with the caveats in my original post). Am I correct in assuming you
don't have any?

LOL. You nailed me there. "You should examine your thought process.
It's just a tattoo. Why turn it into something more than that?"
would've sunk in better, but been less fun.

to your credit, after having a lot of fun with you, your advice is
sound.

Re-read my post. Why are YOU focusing ONLY on that line. I seem to
remember reading a few more sentences in your original post.




sb>What I am asking about, is
sb> content. Looking for ideas... From people I presumed had more
sb> experience with this than I do.

People usually lead with the important stuff. And your lead was
defensive. "I'm 38 and I can do what I want to."

sb> Clearly, you don't like the name idea. I'm looking for suggestions
sb> that others have seen/thought of to do a tattoo honoring a
daughter
sb> (with the caveats in my original post). Am I correct in assuming

I don't know you or your daughter. For all I know you could be a
child molester. Maybe a picture of her and the words "Daddy, please
don't" underneath? Maybe a picture of a crib with little, bloody
sheets?

Get it?

What's funny is that you wrote that.

See, that didn't hurt.

And here's a bone. What do you do together? Do you want it to be a
tattoo you can add to later? An old regular had the feet print from
her baby (that died) tattooed. I have a hand print on my shoulder.

You have to decide if the image is something anyone who saw it would
know what it means, or if it is significant to only you and her.

For most of those, you don't need strangers.

You're asking strangers what you should do. And it appears as a first
resort. That bothers me.

No, you're the one focused on that sentence, And I've already
explained.

Neither. And if that was your "cool" font --
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa!

No. Get that tattoo in something old school. Antique Olive. Bold.
128 pt. You've proven your ass is big enough.

HTH. LOL, indeed.

Oh please, it would have to be in Curlz or something else really
girly, and in light blue.

You shouldn't care at any age.

I have my three daughters' names on my arm. It's the typical name in
the heart with the arrow going through it. There are 3 hearts, each a
different color. The third was added a few years after the first two.
The names are in no specific font, my artist hand-wrote them. Or
freestyled or whatever you want to call it. I think the tattoo is
beautiful, though simple.

>* How do I avoid this looking like the name of my biker girlfriend?


I don't know! I have been asked if the names were my girlfriend's
names, as if I had 3 girlfriends. I don't know if the guy was trying
to be funny, or what. I guess if you also had your daughter's photo
tattooed under her name people would figure it out. Besides something
that blatant, you'll just have to correct people. Or have "my
daughter" tattooed above it with an arrow pointing to her name.

>8, and alive and well.


I'd just say to look at some memorial tattoos and do NOT have yours
resemble those. You will know when you have it right.

>* Location: I was thinking lower leg/calf area.


Mine is on my upper arm. I really don't have any suggestions as to the
location. I have a personal preference for names being on the upper
arm.

Technically, it IS a memorial tattoo, no matter what.

But, I am interested in what YOU consider to be a memorial tattoo.
