seeking advice for my first ever tattoo: memorial ideas for my dad
i don’t quite know how to ask this, but i’m hoping this community can point me in the right direction and suggest something meaningful.
i recently lost my father to cancer. i’m not typically a "tattoo guy," but i love the concept of tattoos and my mother has never allowed or liked the idea of me getting one. however, losing my dad has changed things for me, and i strongly feel the need to get a memorial tattoo in his honor.
what i have in mind so far:
a date tattoo: important dates in roman numerals.
a "days" tattoo: the exact number of days we had together, from the day i was born until the day he passed.
placement: i am currently considering my wrist or my arm.
specific advice i'm looking for:
are there other memorial concepts you’ve seen or gotten that are powerful but relatively simple?
any tips for a first-timer regarding placement (wrist vs. arm) and the healing process?
suggestions with a picture are more than welcome. all kinds of advice and ideas are appreciated. i really hope to find some good guidance here to help me figure out the perfect tribute to him. thank you in advance.
