I FINALLY made up my mind. I picked a picture of her in her prime and had the artist make her into an angel. I picked her prime because this is how I now picture her young, beautiful, happy and most importantly NOT suffering. The artist picked the wing, and background. This tattoo is ALOT larger than I wanted but no turning back now. I sat through 17 hours of inking. I still have to come back for another full day session. He still has to do the other dove, clouds, sun and finish the rose. He really got into this and worked on me as much as he could. I still didn't know it would be THIS BIG. Still not sure how I feel about it because it's SO LARGE. I am very happy and excited with the detail of my mother, which took the longest. Please let me know what you think .... thank you - - - Updated - - - it sure does feel good. Thank you - - - Updated - - - I guess your right I really didn't think about the size I ws more concern with the detail and it looking like my mom and the added detail is a plus

Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to read this My mother and I were extremely close. We had a bond that cannot be put into words. She battled emphysema for about 20 years and sadly last Christmas lost the battle. I decided that I want a portrait tattoo of her on my back. I was first thinking of her in her younger years at her prime and having her drawn into an angel. This would be before I was born. I have pictures of how beautiful she was during that time she was 35. That is how I picture her now in perfect health at her prime happy and a beautiful angel. However, a few people suggested to me getting a tattoo of her when we were at the closes part of our relationship How she looked up in age a few months before she passed (before she suffered) They said it would be more meaningful . She passed at 76 and it would be a picture of her about 8 months prior to her passing. Either way she is beautiful to me…. So now I can’t make up my mind. This is really important to me and will be with me forever just like her love. I wanted the advice and thoughts of people other than my family and friends. Thank you so much
