Oh, wow - so low class.

That’s different and appropriate, and I’m sorry for your loss.

I like tattoos in general, but I really hate ones dedicated to children.

It wasn’t THAT good of a TV show.

I have both my kids names and birth dates on my upper arm under a mother and child portrait

When I’ve seen them they’ve been names, or names and birthdates or even pictures (I’ve never known anyone personally to do the latter). None of those types of tattoos appeal to me. A symbol or something would be fine but just a name or bday is silly for a tattoo, in my opinion.

Why would another person's child's name need to appeal to you? You must be one of those people who get chinese characters that mean nothing tattooed on their arm.

The name and DOB make me think that the person is anticipating Alzheimer's and preparing for forgetting their kids names and birthdates.
The worst is the ones that look like photos, because I always imagine how said it will be when the sweet baby face starts to droop with wrinkles.
So don't do that.

You must’ve missed where the previous poster specifically asked a question.

My kid’s nickname is an animal, and I have that animal worked into a larger tattoo.

I love this! I too prefer the symbolism to outright names and dates of birth, but to each his own. I know a lot of people from all walks of life and class categories with tattoos. I love a sexy sleeve or half sleeve on a man.

Agree, I think that is the farthest thing possible from tacky. (Hugs)
