Where did you get the idea for your tattoo(s)? I know what I want I just don't know how to incorporate it all together!

I don't have any, thought I considered getting one in college. All I can say is, thank god I changed my mind. I will try to find what I wanted to get. It is SO cheesy.
It was similar to this, but it wasn't a rectangle:

That's why I've waited so long to get one. I didn't want to regret anything. I either want one to represent my family - police (me), firefighter (DH), and our angel baby or just something to do with law enforcement. All the law enforcement ones I can find are just so manly.

I don't have one, but if I were ever to get one it'd be Cora's footprint on my foot. For a while I considered a phoenix on the small of my back...just because I love the symbolism of the phoenix, kwim?

I found things that looked kinda like what I wanted, then brought it to the parlor and told the artist what I wanted, and he designed it.....here it is....it says "meus angelus vigilo" which means "my angels watch me" in latin (pic is from same day being done)

I searched the internet with an idea in my head. Then took some pictures to my guy and asked him what he could do and explained what I wanted. I also got my kids names on my wrists, my angels names are with my weeping angel and I have one on my arm for DH. That one isn't finished yet. I love my angel. I want to have a professional picture of it and put on my wall so I can see it all the time  .

I haven't gotten an angel tattoo yet. I plan too (but I have eight total) sometime within the next year I plan to get a lion on my side with rainbow colored angel wings, since lions are signified to represent light.
But I have tons more planned.

I love all of them!! I think I finally decided what I want to get. If it looks stupid to everybody else I don't care. It will mean a lot to me. I'm going to get a set of handcuffs on my shoulder but instead of them being black or silver I'm going to do one side light blue and the other light pink. That way I have my passion (policing) and the pregnancy and infant loss awareness colors to represent my angel.

Paige- I love that idea!
I haven't gotten my angel tattoo yet. I plan on getting one for both my living children (after my next rainbow baby) and the angels. I am going to get my living childrens footprints with their names and DOB's then surrounded by I hope 6 stars. I know one star will be blue for Spud, and another will be nestled close to CJ's footprint for his twin, but I'm still designing it in my head.

Just an FYI....my angel tattoo is from before my loss, so while it "works" for that it was not meant for that. I got it after I had an accident (fell in a hole lol...seriously) I was in the hospital for a time and I really felt like I had someone(s) keeping watch of me.

My first tattoo is a dragonfly against the sun. I really love dragonflies.
My second tattoo is a 4 leaf clover. I got that after having a really vivid dream about it.
And this is my angel tattoo:
