Guilt about tattoo decision question?

My husband is against tattoos but is open to the idea of me getting one since it will have actual meaning (lol-as if they don't??!!). I really want one and it's a symbol of the kids. What I want is a unicorn (I've been collecting them my whole life) and its mane to be both their first names. I have it designed and my husband's uncle who does tattoos said that is is very do-able. So I ahve been thinking about it and I decided that maybe I want one of each the boys, one on each wrist. But, I feel guilty now becuase I know what I want for my younger son, but not my older one. For my younger son, I want a little glow worm (long story, but his nickname is "Bug"). But I have no idea what I want done for my older son. I was thinking maybe a blue letter block with the letter J. But I feel bad becuase my older son really don't have a nickname like our younger son. Anyone experienced this type of guilt before?

    aww i think it's really sweet, and don't worry too much about it! I'm sure that there is something in your son's past that you will think of to use! Look through his baby books and photos for inspiration, and don't get one done until you have a decision for both that way you don't come across as partial

    How old is your older son? Is it possible you could ask him what he likes? He may have a favourite item, or a nickname people use at school etc. Could you do the unicorn idea just for him and the glow worm for the other son?

    If you're feeling uncomfortable about this I wouldn't get any tattoos done until you've found something you really feel happy with. It sounds like the tattoo you're thinking of for your eldest is one you've picked out of desperation, and lack of anything better. Tattoos are permanent so you don't want to rush and get them, only to find you have the perfect idea for your elder son a month later.

    Good luck with finding that perfect design :-)

    If you are not sure what you want then don't get any. Tattoos are hard to remove and you might regret not thinking this as much as you should have.

    I do not recommend the wrists or any visible areas that can not be covered with clothing, for job related issues. Some places still don't look at tattoos as lightly as they should have.

    Why you take decisions that only your boys can take when they grew up?

    I recommend you that don't do it, and give the opportunity to your children to take the best decision for them.

    Maybe they'll find disgusting the tattoos.
