    Im going to get another tattoo in about 2 months of the state of louisiana with “never forget your roots” around it, but i dont know what to have inside the outline of the state instead of it just being an outline. Any help would really help. Thanks

    State flag possibly?
    Or maybe go a little bigger and get a symbol of something meaninful to you that reps. Louisiana inside the state outline.

    yea, thats what my plan. Its going on the inside of my left calf and dont want it too wide in case i want something on the outside of my calf. Im guessing around 3×3 inches give or take half an inch. state flag is a good idea. My friend has a pelican head in his since thats the state bird and i really like his idea but dont want to copy his idea. I was also thinking of getting a magnolia flower in it but im not completely sold on this one. Or having NO in it but i think that wouldnt look too good. I dont want a fleur de lis as i see it on everyone around. And my area code would be too generic for the people around where i live. But i really like the state flag or my magnolia idea.

    i like the magnolia idea. if you’re afraid of it being to feminine you could have the artist draw it up with some sharper edges and not so flowery. here’s a few images that i like

    a trumpet with musical notes (like used in the louisiana coin)? or just the state name in a fancy font?

    thats a personal choice. i would get it lightly colored in – nothing too heavy – over top of light sgading too for definition. but its your taste
