I’ve been thinking about this lately actually. I’m thinking I would go with the word “family” but in Scottish Gaelic, very small, maybe on the underside of my wrist where my watch would cover it. But I hate needles and pain and mostly I think tattoos are ugly.
I’m not a big fan of needles or pain either. I also have commitment issues. I like your idea though. If I ever got a tattoo, it would likely be Irish-related. Perhaps just a small four leaf clover or something along those lines.
Eventually when I can afford it I am going to get a tattoo to symbolize my son, so I can carry him with me all the time. I picked out the sacral chakra symbol, which is a lotus with a crescent moon inside. I think that the lotus looks like a sun and since my little boy is my sunshine I think it suits well, and it is the “womb” chakra so it couldn’t be more perfect.
If money was no object and it wouldn’t look nasty when I get old, I would want a watercolor looking peacock feather on my back. I love the colors and I think it would just be really pretty. But tattoos cost a lot and I can’t afford it.

I think that tattoo sounds great. Very meaningful and it also sounds pretty.
