So I'm getting a tattoo in memory of my daddy.
So tattoo idea 1: have his writing in the middle of my upper back between my shoulder blades. With one eagle on the side
2: have eagle a few Silhouettes going up my side. (Story he told.)
3: combine the two and have the eagles start from the front of my hip and go up my back and end at the lettering in between my shoulder blades.

I kinda wanted simple but I like his writing and I like the idea of eagles however, I don't want the letters on my side. And I did want a tattoo on my side in the first place.
This is a really hard decision. If you girls have any more ideas that would be great.

This is my dads writing.

I like the first one. a tattoo is a really serious decision to make, so make sure you know exactly what you want. good luck!

Go in and talk to your tattoo artist about placement and what will work best.

I agree that you should talk to your tattoo artist about what might work best, but I think this is such a sweet and meaningful idea. :)

Thanks girls. I still have no clue. Lol. It will be my first tattoo and probably the only one. It's something that will be a lot to me and I want it done right. Thanks for your input. :)

Hey I have a tattoo in memory of my dad too and it's the only one I have so far it's all black birds on my foot and I personally love them but some days I wish I could've gotten his handwriting tattooed on me but I don't have anything that he wrote. I personally would choose both of them together because it makes the silhouettes have a more noticeable meaning to others and I love the idea of having handwriting maybe not put together though. Definitely go and talk to an artist and they'll help you decide :)

I would say the first one, but why does it have to be on the back? Do it someplace where you could see it like your arm :)

Talk to the artist, mine help design mine from the most basic idea. Make sure you don't just go to the cheapest place, find someone with a great reputation. Someone told me once to sit with an idea for about a year and if the idea is still the same, you'll prbly be happy with it forever. With such a meaningful tattoo none of us can really tell you which is better because its what serves as a more meaningful representation of you and your fathers relationship.
