hey my name is frances i am 19 yrs old recently i broke up with my boyfriend and i am doing pretty good. he is 23, we have been together for 2 1/2 yrs. i decided that i wanted to get a tattoo to symbolize my realtionship becuase he was my first love. but i am not sure what to get. i dont want anything like his name. no way but something like. love will prevail, or growth or strength or something that i can ge tattooed in japanese or chinese. let me know what would be a good idea.
Additional info, added Thursday March 9 2006, 11:11 pm: i am not looking for something to remember him by something just to tell me that i will make it through this rough time and that i will make it through that is why i think that the japanese symbol for stregth will be good to show that i have the strength to move on and love again or something to that bature something small beucase it is my first tattoo so i want to get the feel of it first. if anyone has any pics of some tatts e0mail me frankus521@aol.com.

LiLReBeL6907 answered Thursday March 9 2006, 2:08 pm: Well I agree with everyone below, but if you are wanting that tattoo to hold that memory of him, than I would suggest getting a tattoo of maybe a heart with a thorny rose vine wrapped around it with the japenese symbol of Strength or maybe that catch phrase "Love Will Prevail" written around it. Or maybe a heart that is bleeding and broken, with light shining behind it and angel wings coming out of it, showing that even with a broken heart, it will heal and there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Something like that maybe. I already have one tattoo. It is on my lower back of a tribal heart. I got it because I want to remember that no matter how many heart breaks I go through, that I can always recover and love again. To be alive you need to be able to love, and love continueously, no matter what ups-and-downs life throws you. Next year I'm getting another tattoo I designed myself that has praying hands holding a cross necklace and angel wings coming out from the sides of the hands, with celtic writing circling it saying, "Only God Can Judge Me". That is going to remind me not to care what others think of me, because right now I am going through a hard point in my life, where people are judging me without getting to really know me, and that tattoo will really help me. Best of luck!

LadyGoodman answered Thursday March 9 2006, 2:04 am: Rather than getting a relic of the relationship marked on you forever, why don't you get something that symbolizes the freedom you now have? Realistically, when you're 50 years old and you look back at what you put there, it would probably be more pleasing to see something inspirational that makes you feel free than something that ties you to this person forever in ink form.
