    I've been considering getting a small tattoo of my two kids' initials on my wrist - something small to remind me of them no matter where I am, but easily covered by my watch band if needed.

    Their initials are H and E and our last name initial is G. Not looking for any suggestions really - I'd want to design it myself - but I thought of the idea of having them each draw their initial, get it traced and have that be what I get. There's something cool to me about it being both a reminder of them, and a reminder of them when they were little as they get older.

    I don't have any tattoos at all. This would probably be something the size of a nickel or a quarter. I like the look of single stroke line art, maybe not as heavy as this, but something like that.

    No script font or anything, just a solid line, maybe a continuous line that weaves their initials together.

    Any of you with tattoos have anything like this? Seen any good examples?

    • I've always liked the idea of a tiny, indiscernible, dot or something to achieve this. The only tattoo i'd consider - a 0.25mm diameter dot, to remind.Nairn
    • Anything else, for me, would be too aesthetically inclined. I'm not a Norseman of yore.Nairn
    • ha. one dot. you could probably do that yourself with a needle and some pen ink!mg33
    • If I could work their initials into some kind of glyph, that would be great. I've always liked how glyphs look as tattoos as long as they're meaningful.mg33

    • I like the idea of some abstract / geometric heart, but with the lines somehow forming their initials. Like this style more or less:mg33
