SpiralOut

Hey, my name's Adele. I'm new here, obviously haha. From Chicago originally, living in Florida now. I'm 21 years old, going to college, have a really lame pizza job, and like to enjoy life. Haven't got any ink yet, I'm taking my time trying to figure out my first piece, which brings me to my next topic... I want my first piece to be a memorial to my father who is about to pass from pulmonary fibrosis. I'm not wanting anything too large, and I want more than just words. Does anyone have suggestions as to symbols (plants/flowers, sacred geometry, etc.) that express rebirth or breath/breathing? Thanks in advance. :)
