It sounds like you have really thought it through. Use a good place so you don't have an unhappy experience.

Im getting a fire helmet on my hip for my dad

I have two memorial tattoos and I plan to get one for my dear mum whom passed this August. Even though she'd hate it LOL but noone needs to know what it means or why you got it, it becomes something more personal and you will have your eternity with him weather you get the tattoo or not, he will be in your heart and soul......best wishes :)

My husband had gotten a memorial tattoo of our baby and it is beautiful but also a little eerie because it looks just like her

I want to get one but I want it a certain way and I havent found that perfect one yet. I know I want a cross with a banner w/sons name and a dove in flight over the cross. Can anyone here draw? lol

I have never been one who likes tattoos. But when my husband died, it was different. My sister told me that her husband could do a portrait of him. I chose a picture of Ken when he was one year old. My brother-in-law made it into a cherub. I let him do what he thought was best. The cool thing is that I have a small part of his ashes in the black outlining. It looks exactly like the picture.

I have it over my heart and am proud of it!

Each person decides what they want and where it would be most meaningful.

I have a friend who is getting a yellow rose on her toe. That is for her husband who had passed away a while ago. That is very significant for her.

Do what you think is best for you. No matter what, it will be very special.

yes,I have a memorail tatoo for my daughter Miranda,Its a heart with angel wings and a halo,and her name in the middle. I have it above my left breast,close to my heart. All my tops cover it,its for me,and I don't show it to many people.

I got a memorial tat on my left forearm with my husbands name on. That is a wonderful jesture in rememberance of your husband. That sounds like it's going to be a beautiful tat.

I got a memorial tattoo for my husband. It is my favorite picture of him and the guy who did it got him perfectly. It is on my sight if you would like to see it.

I got one too. For both my Mother and Father. They both had the same Tattoo. It said "Freedom" So I did a Celtic version of the same tattoo, with a sweet dagger and a crown that goes through a beautiful heart. It has shamricks coming down almost like blood/rain a symbol of freedom. Irish freedom. I miss them both so much.

SWEET!! I have a tat for my daddy(RIP) on my back..Everyone in my family had a fit but it was something I felt like I could do to maintain that bond I so desperately missed..Hope it works out well.I am sure it will and you will be glad you did.God Bless

My husband and I both got our daughter's footprint with her name beneath it on our right shoulder blades. The artist who did them did such an amazing job, and I love the tattoos so, so much. People see mine and want to know about her, and I love to tell people how amazing she was. It's a nice little daily reminder of the person you love and miss.

i am also getting a tattoo. my mom was an artist and i am going to find a piece of her art work and have it tattoed on my lower back. i just miss her so much

My Fiance use to call me his butterfly, so i got a butterfly on my back with his initials and the dates. It made me feel so much better. I feel that he defintly will be with me for the rest of my life like he was suppose to be. :)
