Unique tattoo ideas ? Please help?

When I'm going through really hard times the words what's important pops in my head and my response to that is my three beautiful nephews. Just seeing they're smile makes me realize that there are beautiful things in this world. They motivate me to do everything I do and

I want to get a tattoo that symbolizes them without actually getting their names. So i can always be reminded of whats important when i am going through hard times. It would be my first so I don't want it to be too big.

If you have a negative opinion about tattoos please don't comment on this question.

    What a cool idea! If it were me I would think about the personalities of these three boys. What are the qualities that you appreciate most in each of them as an individual? Then look at what kind of animal is symbolically assigned those attributes.

    For instance does he show visionary wisdom and a sense of guardianship like a Falcon? Is he clever, focused and determined like a fox? Is he playful, gentle and intelligent like a dolphin? You get the idea.

    Once you have figured out which animal totem best describes each of them perhaps you could design something small incorporating just the animal heads.

    Or if you want a smaller tattoo of just one animal you could think about what qualities are brought out in you as a result of interacting with your nephews. Find the animal that has those attributes in honor of how your nephews help you be a better person. For instance the humming bird is a messenger of joy.

    I'll add links to animal symbology for you to look at if you are interested.

    I hope this helps. But if not I know you will find the right thing to honor these boys. Best of luck :)
