Ok so ill explain my situation:
4 months ago my sister passed away due uncureable cancer, we were very close especially the last few months.
Now that i've come over it a bit i decided to show my gratitude in a tattoo form.
Im a big fan of japanese tattoo's so i decided im going for a japanese/asian one.
Now im not a expert on this kind of art so im not quite sure how i want the tattoo, i was thinking of a angel wing with the date of her birth and the day she passed away with the word: 損失 wich means "Loss" as far i know.
Is this a good idea or do you people have a japanese tattoo form wich shows the loss of someone?
Some advise is welcome
Thanks in advance! |
I am very sorry to hear about your sister.
As many people said, tattoo bearing a negative meaning (objectively, your personal motives aside) is maybe not the best idea. Perhaps you could express your feeling of loss in a positive way, if that is possible. For instance a tattoo meaning unity of your spirits such as 一心 (いっしん one heart / in here unity of both of you in one heart). It would show that you are still connected with your sister even though she passed away.
Or 以心伝心 いしんでんしん (telepathy, understanding without words, surreal ethereal connection of souls and minds)
It all depends on how many characters you need.
If you really want one, I could help you design the calligraphy for your tattoo.
