Tattoo?
So, lately I've been thinking about getting a tattoo.

Well, I've wanted a tattoo for awhile now, I've just never known what I wanted.

But I think I want something in remembrance of my grandmother. The thing is, it needs to be perfect. And I have no clue where to start.

It needs to represent her and my love for her. But, how do you do that in one little picture? I'm better at expressing myself in words than pictures.

She loved gardening. She was always looking for some new and beautiful flower to plant out back. She loved playing cards. She and I used to play Rummy together, but I still think I should have taken the time and played cards with her more. She was very religious. Not to the point where she tried to push her religion onto everyone else, but she had great faith in her beliefs. She loved dogs. And pretty much most animals, but dogs especially. She had a great sense of humor. Despite everything she went through, she would always try and keep a smile on her face, and the on faces of everyone around her.

I was thinking something like, a heart with a flower behind it or growing out of it and maybe with some vines or something around the heart. And then, somewhere on it, the date she died and maybe even her initials.

But I think that idea needs some more work. So, does anyone have any ideas? Or know where I could look for some ideas?

I was thinking about putting it on my back, near my left shoulder.

you can try a simple red rose with your grandmother's initials on it. Simple yet makes a statement :)

maybe a heart or something to represent your grandmother with her initials on it and then either a halo or angel wings over it or on it?

Your Grandma sounds like an angel, how about some kind of little angel motif,maybe search angel clip-art for a shape.
Also, I don't think you are crazy. I think you should talk to your Grandma when ever you feel like it, it will help you not to be so lonely...and who knows, she may hear you.When my Dad died I talked to him a lot for awhile, sometimes I talked to him when I was driving and I asked if he was sitting right there? Something just made me ask that, you know, "are you sittin' right there Dad? " I never received an answer, but I just felt he was there ridin' around with me!
And lastly, not religion, but Jesus, can ease your pain. You don't need any books, or preachers or churches...just keep saying his name, ask him to help you...he will. Churches are great ways to build support systems and people who will really care about you and help you and you might want to start going to one, but right now, til you find a place to go, Jesus is all you need.

Hey, you could have a cross over-lapping a card (or a deck....the rummy thing?) with the date of her death on the cross and a daisy or other flower wrapping around the cross and card(s) with the flower over it or above it? Ya get it? Ya like it? Let me know, bye!

You and your Grandmother sound so close. I know exactly what you are going through. I lost my grandmother in March of 2005. She wasn't sick or anything just suffered a massive heart attack while she was watching my little cousins. Like you and your grandmother, my grandmother and I were extremely close. I felt mcuh like you did when she died. I basically didn't know what to do and my heart sank. I am one of the only grandchildren to have made it into highschool, and like you she said that she wanted to be at my graduation. In fact she made me promise her that I would graduate high school and college. However she isn't going to make it to either of them. Part of what keeps me going in knowing that she is watching from up above. I know if I were to screw my life up I would definitely be letting her down.
Although I am not old enough yet, I am planning on getting a tattoo on my back near my left shoulder. I found one that I liked online. It is a heart with angel wings and a halo. I plan on having "Nana" written inside and possibly her birthday and the day she died on it too. Just a little thing to remember that she always has my back and show my appreciation for her and everything she has ever done for me.
Let me know what you think. If you ever wanna talk I am up for that too. Leave me a message on my live-journal if you want and again, I am sorry for your loss.
