Tattoos for sons?

I want to get a small, size of a nickel or so, tattoo to symbolize my 2 sons. I have been looking and looking and found nothing of interest! One is a Leo and the other a Pisces.

I don't want the foot/hand print. I can't go with 2 foot prints cuz then it just looks like lil footprints, no meaning. I was thinking 2 suns, but haven't found a good design.

I don't wanna do chinese names. I tried to find the word SONS in hawaiian, but they don't use "S" in their alphabet.

If you have seen or know of a cool, smallish, design let me know. It has to be EXTREMELY special as it will be the most important tattoo I get.

Update:

OK maybe not that small, but not too big either. It is going on my arm, which is kinda tiny.

My sons names are Donnie and Jeffrey and I want to incorporate their name INTO a tattoo. I don't want to just tattoo their name on me. Like make their name part of a butterfly or flower or something along those lines.

    1st off, 'size of a nickel' is a problem, too small to work much more than a letter, or a ladybug.

    *So, if you are going to go that small, .. what about tiny little bugs? .. a bee, a busy little ant, a lightening bug.... There are some cute ones, if you can find 2 different ones that remind you of your sons in some way, or your sons like them.

    ***You could possibly get a fine line tattoo of each of your sons thumb prints... you'll have to talk to your artist to see if this could work.

    *If you know of their favorite color, maybe you could do just a little circle or shape of that for each one.

    *You could pick a leaf or flower that looks beautiful or interesting at the time of year that each was born, and do that. (a maple leaf in Fall, sunflower in summer,.. etc.)

    *Do their names coincide with any images? Do you think of each in some endearing manner, .. call them 'sugar' or 'honey' or something that could be interpreted into a small image?

    *You could have each son, if they are old enough, write their name or draw a picture and then have that reproduced in a tattoo.

    *Are they old enough to ask what they would like you to tattoo on your body to make you think of them? Do that.

    Make it about them, who they are, how they make you feel, what their personality is like.

    Good luck with your decision!
