Memorial Tattoos for Mom

'Mom is the name for god on the lips and hearts of all children', this quote holds true almost universally.

Memorial tattoo suggestion

Having lost my mom not too long ago I wrestled with feelings that swayed between the deepest of love to the strongest of loss, and often both at the same time. I knew I wanted to remember mom forever, and let the world know, but I grew terrified I'd choose the wrong tattoo design to memorialize her with.

I solved that problem by having a tattoo artist place the design on paper which I framed and placed on my bedroom wall. I found it hard to look at for a while, really hard, but after a few weeks I found myself whispering 'love you mom' every time I saw it. That's how I knew it was the right tattoo choice for me.
