Anyone have any cool tattoo ideas for me?

Sounds like you have a good base for your tattoo idea.

You need to pick a good font/script:

Maybe in a handwriting that is similar to what your Grandmother's was like:

and it may be more poignant if you place it in quotation marks: " "

or something like this, with the old paper or written on a wall, look:

As far as your image idea, here's what I found:

I like the last image with the quote. Take whatever images, fonts, etc. to a reputable tattooist who will draw it out in a custom design for your approval.

He could get his initials on the backs of his biceps. I've always thought that was cool. Like if his name were Adam Oxford, he could get "A" in old english letters on the back of his left arm, and "O" in old english letters on the back of his right arm. When people would be behind him, they'd see AO. I also like the idea of having either your parents names or your grandparents names on top of eachother, with the chinese symbol for love in between them. Like if your grandparents names were Tom and Louise, the name Tom on top, the Chinese symbol for love, and the name Louise on bottom. A tattoo I've been considering is something personal. I support our troops, but I am strongly against the IDEA of war. I've been contemplating getting a tattoo of a large peace sign, with the colors red white and blue in the 3 spaces, showing that I supported our country, but disagree with war. Tattoos are personal but I can understand looking for inspiration =). I saw a tattoo of Freddy Kreuger on some guy I met once, and I was immediately attracted because of that tattoo haha. Maybe he could get his last name in old english letters across the top of his back? Or maybe his initials on one side of his chest?

here's one don't get 1 once its on you cant not get off trust me i thought it was cool not no more since i got old i did all my tattoos myself i have true on 1 handand love on the other many more but i dont want to take your time good luck

Thats really nice how you want to have your grandmothers last words towards you.

does it have to be in the shoulder blades?

i would suggest wings however when there two big they look slightly tacky, or like your a member of the yakuza :P. if you had yellow spikes that looked like the north star that would look good.

well i'm thinking your grandmother ment i'm not afriad of death or where she's going so you could get angel wings on the sides representing angels from heaven. (on your shoulder blades) and have the "i am not afriad" saying in between.

thanks for my level up
