Tattoo ideas to represent miscarriage?

Well, there's nothing wrong with the cocoon idea. If she wants to keep it from being misconstrued, she could put it on a branch with minimal flowers and leaves. It still leaves the tattoo mostly small, probably bigger than she was thinking, but not going overboard either. Well known cocoons, like the Monarch, are a bright green with slight detail, and would be hard to see as anything else. It also leaves her open to adding more to the tattoo, like more branches, flowers and butterflies for any future children, so that all could be accounted for in the same tattoo. Sorry for her loss and hope she can think of something.

I went through a miscarriage myself a few years back. I was 13 weeks. I also have tattoos but didn't feel the "need" to have one done. However my best friend had a miscarriage a few months back and she did. She got a tattoo of a fetus in a bubble with wings. She had the weeks she was put under the bubble. It turned out really pretty. Since she did not know if she was carrying a boy or a girl she had the wings done in both pink and blue. She had it put on her back , she said she did not want to be able to see in all the time so she would not dwell on it but she wanted to remember and if needed she could use a mirror to see. I know how you feel. The hurt and the emptiness will go away. Mine happened over 7 years ago and I have had 3 children since then ..you never forget and you will always wonder. But its up to you how you handle it. Good Luck and I hope what ever you decide it will help you get through your loss.
