  1. Im trying to get a tattoo that will represent me an American woman who meet an mexican man from mexico that i would never think id mix with who picked me up &helped me change my lifelong addiction to drugs around& didn’t judge me and we had a beautiful son together who also picked me up as well as with jesus who also stood by side after all I did. So im looking 4 a tattoo that could represent all this &I am not creative at all so I was wondrring if theres any artists out there who could design me one incorporating all this? Can someone help?

    • I cant draw it, but how about the outline of a man and women half hugging and craddling a baby, there could be a slight hazing smoke around your heads which turns into a halo and there could be an eagle on your shoulder?

  2. I had another look at this list as it had so many great designs, but what I did not notice first time around what their was a baby with a tattoo have to agree the above commenter on wondering why someone would get a tattoo on a baby-isn’t it best to wait until they get a fair bit older

  3. “A tattoo design should be well researched…” What you have labled as a “Spider Chip Tattoo” is actually a squid. It’s the slightly modified company logo for Laughing Squid (the eye/mouth in the middle has been removed).

  4. hi,
    i want a tattoo on the inside of my arm, i have just found out that my partner wont marry me but doesnt want us to split up, i was thinking of a tattoo to represent this any ideas?

  5. I am sparsh,
    I just found the right path for my future for my living,really happy with my love life,parents support and want to get inked!
    Suggestions please.
