    So, the birth of my first child is coming up, and I want to get a tattoo to match. I am working on an idea for my wrist, with his initials, as well as some symbol. I want to have something representing eternal life, or immortality. Just thought I would toss the idea out there, to see any suggestions Xen may have. I know of, so far, the celtic symbol for eternal life, which is kinda hard to explain but I guess I could find a photo. Also, I know of the Ankh, which is the egyptian symbol for eternal life. Any other suggestions? My heritage is Irish, Russian and English, and my wifes is Ukranian, French Canadian, and Native American.

    THankya, and sorry, my grammer and spelling is trashola.

    I love Celtic symbols, but then again I'm hardcore Irish and come from one of the oldest families (in terms of surnames) :p

    I also have a tat with a symbol of life/death/rebirth: the ouroboros. From wikipedia: "... an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail... often represents self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things perceived as cycles that begin anew as soon as they end."

    Obviously I'm a fan of both. :^_^:

    Yea I like em both, good stuff. Ive already got an appointment for a larger tat on my back, so im hoping to keep this one a bit smaller, and sort of mid wrist area. I will keep all these ideas in mind for sure, draw em out and see which one speaks to me the most.

    yea that would be nice. I got one on my back right now that says "If ignorance is bliss, then Im headed for hell, because if that is heaven, I know why lucifer fell", and i got another one on the way while I try to figure out this one for my son. By the end of this year i should have a few more added.
