Dyabolical

Thank you both so much! I am sure I am overthinking a lot of it, I have a habit of doing that and coming up with ideas for this is a way to get me away from all of the worry about the pregnancy. I live in the Minneapolis area so I am sure there are some decent shops around, I will just have to my research.

As the title says, I have never gotten a tattoo before. I have never been against them, I just never personally had something that meant enough to me to permanently put on my body. Well I am 32 years old and about to have A baby girl in 2 weeks and the pregnancy for my wife has been very complicated and life changing and I think I finally found that thing that means enough for me to have on me forever. However, having never done this before I am a lot of things: lost, scared of choosing the wrong artist or design, having it turn out bad. The biggest thing for me though is that I am completely inept when it comes to art/design etc. I don't know exactly what I want and I am not talented enough to create options. I have googled quite a bit and have seen some cool designs but am not able to make them my own. Here are some details and things I have thought of. Her name will be Summer Nicole, initials will be SNK I am think of doing it on the inside of my left arm so that it is more inconspicuous and also close to my heart Do I do initials, first name or first and middle name? I have also thought of including the date of birth Should I just keep it simple with her name or add something to it like a border, flower that would make it pop a little more i know all of this is entirely personal preference, I was just hoping to lean on the experience and expertise of those who live and breath this every day. Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated! If by chance you are bored and quickly able to give me some ideas or quick sketch thoughts it would mean the world to me. I apologize for the long post and probably being the epitome of the very annoying "noob" for most of you artists but I am just hoping for anything that can help me.
