Hello!

[acchason]

My name is Clay, I got my first tattoo just last week, on Friday the 13th, my lucky number and my lucky day. I spent the better part of 2 years deciding exactly what I wanted. I knew that I wanted something for all 4 of my kids, I just didn't know what, where or how to start. That and I still had somewhat of an issue with my own self image and letting go of things from my past. Once I hit 36, the questioning and self image thing were no longer an issue. Anyway on to the tattoo and questions.

I wasn't sure how far along we would get last Friday when I went but we were able to get it all done since it was a slow day for the artist.

Artist is Cody Klein at Monument Tattoos in Tallahassee, FL.

Now on to my questions. The first tattoo is for my daughters, Morgan and Olivia, the rose was a very easy choice. I am now having a problem deciding what I want to do for my 2 boys, Cameron is 18 and Alex is 4, I want it to be one tattoo including both names but I am not sure on an image for it. I would like to ask for any and all ideas be thrown my way. Eventually I will have full sleeves.

Thanks in advance!!

Welcome to LST! and great first tattoo Clay, keep heading in that direction. Now as far as a tattoo for your boys goes here are a few ideas, another rose(you can never have enough) Snake around a dagger, panther and tiger heads, ,eagle vs snake, snake vs dragon, pretty much any two animals battling, rose and snake, two hot stuff devils, crying and smiling baby heads. I dunno there is a few for you just to think about.

Hey thanks for the input!! I keep thinking about a Dragon or possibly 2 on a dagger or sword. But I also want something similar as a back piece later on, so I keep looking for something different.

A dragon on your back is always a pretty solid choice. I like the idea of that for family members as well!
