Hello everyone I’m a new member and looking to get my first tattoo. I’m 18 so I’m thinking hard on what to get I have looked at well over 10,000 tattoos and have seen nothing i would like to have on me for life. So can someone help me with an idea. I’m getting it on my forearm and some ideas of what i had are my name, something to do with a grizzly bear/something for my pop who has past away(He loved the woods hence the bear) and maybe the Republic flag of were I’m from. A big part of my life i was looking for ideas with are cars and snowmobiling.
Any ideas that someone can give me will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance to any help!
welcome to the forum,
sorry to hear your sad loss, but to be absolutely honnest with oyou regarding your tattoo design, if you have looked at as many designs upto now and have not found anything at all that you like then there is no way that we could say how about this or that and you liking it.. It is a very personal thing and to be fair with you, there are plenty years ahead of you to find the right piece, if its a memorial piece then dont rush into it just because you are now old enough to have a tattoo done.
i wish you luck in your search, be patient , when the right piece comes along then you will know its the one for you.
I have one idea for you.
Going with the woodsy/outdoors/forresty theme for your father, you could get a “Tree of Life” done. It’s basically a large willow with branches going every which direction and represents the different paths of life and, eventually, death. There are some cool designs for it too.
Here are a few examples:

I like the last 2 the best, but those are just my thoughts.

When it comes to tattooing money shouldn’t stop you…if its something you really want done…then wait and save all your spare cash and have it done, nobody likes saving but if its a nice big interesting piece your after it’l be worth it…and as for wanting to know whats out there the easy answer is, if you can think it up the chances are somebody can tattoo it!!…i’d recommend finding yourself a reputable artist, going into he or she with your ideas and let them piece something together for you…you don’t have to go into the studio with your mind made up, its the artists job to help you come up with something brilliant…and yeah like Outlaw says, if its a memorial piece don’t rush it, you’l regret it otherwise
Don’t give up on your search you’l find something, even if it takes a while 🙂
hope it works out for ya bud 🙂
Hi
You are after my own heart looking at so many tattoos.
To be honest if you want the best advice I can give ( and I was torn about voicing this but somebody looking at 10k of tats and still be stuck needs this);
Make your dad proud and give your family something to look upto.
Be it excelling at studies or career use your time wisely to achieve something that you know would make your old man smile.
The ink can come with time and when you are ready you will know what it is you want – and here is the best bit!
We will all still be here to help you out! 🙂
Take Care

I don’t know if i mentioned this but I’m not looking for a big tattoo but it would be nice if i could add on to it later in life. Also I’m not sure about the memorial piece for my grandfather yet i had an idea and may go with that later because it will be a fairly big piece. At the moment I’m leaning more towards my last name but cant find a good font i like anyone now of a good font?
