Question Posted Thursday October 23 2008, 12:41 am
so im a Christian. 4 & a half years ago, my grandma, who was basically my best friend and second mom, died of an unknown cancer. that was the hardest time of my life, she was one of the most important and closest people to me. now im 18 and i've been thinking about a tattoo for some time. i originally planned to get a cross with a banner wrapped around it, with my grandma's initials inside the banner, and maybe "always faithful" in chinese symbols under the cross. but, even though the cross tattoos are awesome, they're pretty overdone. can anyone give me any ideas of what else i could use? its gonna be on the top of my foot, so it cant be huge but it'll be a decent size. and i want it to include her initials and also symbolize my faith as a Christian, bc during that time when she died, is when i was truly saved. and please dont say google tattoo pictures, id like personal ideas. thanks.
Say for example, she loved daisies. You could put a cross surrounded in daisies, or a cross made of daisies.
I don't know if that's what you're looking for, but something like that would take the "overdone" cross and make it into something unique and special to you personally.

Except I would have "always faithful" written in cursive, not Chinese symbols unless they are significant to you, either above or below the cross. I think that would be a beautiful tattoo. Also, maybe instead of the cross you could get an open bible tattooed on your foot with "always faithful" above, below, or on one of the pages and then have your grandmother's initials on the other page. If you decide not to put "always faithful" on one of the pages you could put a cross, a dove, or something else. My personal favorite of those two options is the tattoo with the cross. Hope I helped =] [ courrt7's advice column | Ask courrt7 A Question ]
