8. Names of Your Parents

Names of Your Parents

Label yourself with your creators’ names. They, who have given birth to you, brought you into this world to make you the living, loving, fabulous human being you are. Keep this as a constant reminder to respect your parents and the sacrifices they have made to raise you, the love they have showered upon you and all that they have given you.

 

9. A Quote

Quote

It is common to have that one aphorism, one quote or inspiring proverb that guides our life and steers us through the difficult parts. Literature and art gives us a wealth of inspiration in this manner, and a great way to imprint your life’s philosophy is to literally be a walking embodiment of the quote or aphorism that drives you. It could be a song lyric or a saying in its original script. Be creative and convert it into exciting visual art, infused with other symbols and signs that give you meaning. A famous Italian model wrote all over her body the words that remind her of her life choices. “Float.”, “Breathe”, “Smile” appeared on her collarbone, her forearm and her wrist in magnificent looping calligraphy.

 

10. Butterfly

Butterfly

One of the most common tattoo symbols (studies show) that women opt for, is the Butterfly. It represents metamorphosis, transformation, and growth. What better symbol to represent the stages of life than a butterfly? A woman who is constantly shedding old skin and who has blossomed into total beauty? In the olden days, a butterfly tattoo on the back of a woman’s neck in medieval England discreetly indicated that a woman was a prostitute. But of course significances are different today, and one can always get one on the nape of her neck as a symbol of sexuality.
