Shoulder blade or foot?

How long are the names? If short then maybe both, but if longer I'd say just first name.

I'd just have the name in cursive or a really nice script.

On your ankle and get it tattooed like an ankle bracelet with flowers or something.
It's something I'm considering doing....

My husband got the name of our 6 children tatooed on his ankles (3 each ankle). He's Irish so he had them done in Celtic script, with a Celtic symbol above them.

I did the inside of my wrist in Tengwar (elvish)... its kinda nerdy but looks pretty =)

Tip: if you're having more kids, leave out the middle names... I did the middle name but now have 2 more kids to add... =/

My Dh did ours on his forearms, which has been fine all these years we've had two kids

not sure where the next one will go

I wanted to get DH and kids initials done on my foot, but they spell Tax

so I haven't done it.

I've got DS's name across my wrist (on the underside), when this bub is born I'll get her name across my wrist on the top side so it makes a bracelet around my wrist.

That's the plan anyway but if we have a 3rd bub not sure where they'll fit!!

And on my forearm a bit down from DS's name I have a koi fish - apart from being a nice tattoo they have a really nice meaning, strength and courage in adversity, something about swimming upstream against the tide, I got it to symbolise our strength during both the tough start that DS had (he was in NICU for 3 weeks after he was born) and the tough time I had myself when he was in NICU.

Oh thanx heaps guys !
well his name is Leland Michael James, he has two middle names.
So I'm considering on getting it on my wrist but does it hurt there cause the back of my neck killed lol ( and I past out haha )
Or even my foot but people say it hurts? I'm even wanting to get my little sister's name tattooed as well, as we almost lost her when she was 2 1/2 from diabetes and we didn't know, but now she is 11 an a little fighter and stronger then ever considering she has type1 diabetes but don't know what to get with it.

Kermat - What was wrong with Ds ? That must have been so hard for you guys I know I wouldn't of been able to handle it.

Shae . X

I have my kids names on my hip.

I also have my stillborn sons name on my inner wrist with his DOB, my hubby has a matching one.

That's beautiful !! I'm thinking of leaving my hips as I want my lower back tattoo for my friend who past away from cancer to come round to the front of my hips as well but it's only half done at the moment so might give it some more thought. And I want to get a quote with the moon fairy I have on the back of my neck.
