Is This A Good Tattoo And Where Should I Get It? What Else Should I Add?

16 Comments 28 February 2010

Okay, I wanna get a tattoo of ‘Katlyn’ in those wicked cool ancient looking letters (she was my sister and she died) I need to know what else I need to add! Angel wings was an idea. But what else, and where should I put it?

    To someone who doesn’t have tattoos this may seem like a foolish way to try and memorialize someone. To someone who does have tattoos and has never lost a loved it may seem silly.
    What does it mean to you? It is your body and if that is how you choose to memorialize your sister then so be it.
    I would put the tattoo somewhere that is symbolic to your sister. If she was a runner then put the tattoo on your foot. If she had a special tattoo somewhere then put yours in the same place. If none of these apply to your sister then maybe think about putting the tattoo close to your heart (I probably wouldn’t choose to put it right on the breast, though) or some other place that would make it special to the both of you.
    As for what else to put with her name… that, again, should be something symbolic of your sister. Pick something that she liked… if she collected elephant statues then get an elephant tattoo. If she liked butterflies…. you get the idea!
    I’m sorry to hear of your loss but no matter what you decide to do in memory of your sister nothing will compare to the memories of her that you hold deep inside your heart.

    In 10 years you will regret getting the tattoo. It may look cool now, but it will not in 2 years. You want to remember your sister and memorialize her? Keep loving thoughts about her in your heart and memory and then try to be a good person. You could have a brick or plaque engraved with her name from a charity that she liked and is using that as a fund raiser. They will live on and look good far longer than a tattoo. Also, think of how many more people will see her name and experience your love of her than a stamp on your back.

    Sorry for your loss…
    Since this is such a personal tattoo, even more so that any other I would say this totally has to be your decision. Just take some time to think about her…. what she was like, things she was into etc… a common bond maybe that you shared, and then go from there. Dont just take random idea’s people toss out and go with that. You may not be happy. I like the angel wings idea… sounds real nice, but its your decision ultimately since this is going on your body not ours.
    Good Luck!

    I like the idea of her name, but instead of angel wings thing of something she liked. For example if she was into art try brushes or something different than wings. Make sure the design of the artwork matches the style of the name. You don’t want her name to be in ancient letters and the artwork not match.

    There is a conflicting theme going on…notice your wordings….wicked letters/ angel wings…….
    My personal feelings on this would be no tattoo, but something nice like that other person suggested and engraved stone or something.
    Tattoos might look alright for awhile, but we all grow old and our body shape and skin changes through the years.
    I am very sorry about your sister and I really hope you can keep her memory alive inside your heart for a long , long time. God Bless

    i like the idea of the wrist. also you could put it on the back of your calf, back of neck or upper back. don’t put it on your lower back or hip because the sexualness of those tatoos would be inappropriate for this.
    wings or halo woudl be nice. you could incorporate a cross if your religious or maybe a flower?

    on ur back or on ur wrist if its a smaller tattoo

  13. shelby t says:

    Well would you want it to been seen? You could put it on your lower back where I see most girls like too (also shoulder). Also maybe by your heart.
    :]

    We both know that is a question that only you can answer through your own introspection.
    I am at a loss to understand why you would even ask total strangers that question.
    Best Wishes
