Tattoo me

I love tattoos. I think that it is a unique form of self-expression. The reasons that people get them are numerous. For me, I have found that it is my way of expressing my love for my family and also to show how I have overcome difficult times. The first tattoo I got was definitely a little of both. It is a pair of angel wings with my son's name; it is my favourite tattoo and will always be. Here is a pic of me and my O bear with the tat on my left shoulder:

I currently have 4 and am in the process of having my 5th one designed by my favourite tattoo artist. I have a few ideas. I found this image on the web (so if it is yours please let me know so I can give you credit!).

I absolutely love the roses and the placement but cannot find anything like how I want mine to be coloured or shaded. I also want to incorporate mom and dad into the tattoo. I'm thinking red but am a little nervous about the colour coming out wrong or the flowers turning out too cartoonish or too realistic. So for now, I will keep looking because I know that it will come up. I read somewhere that tattoos are always there, just waiting for the right time to surface on your body and I have never heard truer words. I'll keep you posted.
