i'm looking for tattoo ideas forr…?
i recently found out i was pregnant. i'm 21, i go out to the bar and party quite a bit. there were concerns that the fetus would not do too well seeing how as i'm not the most healthy eater either and do not get near the right amount of vitamins/veggies, etc. i made the hard decision of abortion. i am not pro-choice abortion. however, in the best interest of the baby..i felt it was best. i went to the clinic and had my ultrasound done before the procedure and they couldn't find the fetus (i was 14 weeks pregnant--was 11 when i first found out). they told me i must have miscarried at approximately 6 weeks and all that was left inside was tissue. in a way i was so so so relieved that i didn't have to go through with the procedure. THANK YOU GOD. but on the same note, so so so sad that i didn't have the choice to have the baby anymore.. really mixed feelings. whoa this is long.. point is, i want a tattoo so i can remember. it taught me a huge lesson. my sister previously went through this bu thad her baby and i have a beautiful 3 year old nephew. so it was really hard for me to make the abortion decision after seeing how well my sister did. SO i want a tattoo..discreet.. i need ideas. it was a big turning point for me and made me really realize how one night can change your whole life..help?

"Forever with me" or just simply "Forever"? That’s a tough one, and sorry for your loss. Though you would’ve regretted an abortion.

a small heart on your hip to remind you of him/her
or even angel wings on your lower back to remind you its in a better place/they are really cute my friend has them

Aw, I went through this EXACT same thing, and I totally feel your pain. My reasons for wanting to abort were different, but I completely understand that feeling of helplessness, when the choice is taken away. It leaves you feeling so torn, but it really is a blessing. I am eventually going to get a tattoo of two whale tales, a big one and a little one. It simultaneously represents the relationship between my mother and myself, which got cut far too short, before I can remember, and the relationship between me and the baby I never got to have. You might consider this sort of thing…two of something, one smaller. I like the idea of a heart, or angel wings, too. My idea came from a dream I had. Maybe you have something like that, that you associate very strongly with that period in your life. I’m so, so sorry for your very unique situation, and I really hope you can find an image that gives you remembrance without sorrow.
