New here, new to tattoos, but I could use a hand fleshing out an idea I’ve been kicking around off and on for months. I’ve been wanting to do something sort of about my daughter and the importance of her in my life and mine in hers. What I’d really like to use is some ancient glyphs or symbols, make it very cryptic looking, and very basic. Not really sure how to describe it. lol If anyone’s ever played the Thief series of PC games, that’s what I’d really like to have, but I doubt there’s many real glyphs that look like the ones in that game. I’ve found one for my daughter’s name, Hope, that’s a cross with little bug anntenna looking things on the ends of each line. If I found stuff meaning things like “protect”, “parent”, “love”, “eternal” (I’m thinking an infinity sign for that could work) or any other relevant idea it’d be great. The more meaning I can pack into this thing the better, I think. I even think I know how I can make the placement mean something.

I’m having trouble finding good resources, and I wonder about the accuracy of the ones I have found. So if anyone has any good resources for that I’d appreciate hearing about it. The one I described above came from one of the sites I’ve found. I can try to post some pics using some of the one’s I’ve seen combined in a day or two, so maybe someone will recognize a symbol or at least say wether it looks good or not.

And if anyone has any thoughts on the concept itself I wouldn’t mind hearing them. This is pretty much just for me but if I want it to be cool too.

Thanks.
