Hi INKEDblog,
My son was born premature by 3 months. Born at 2.06 pounds, the doctors said he would not make it...
Well, today he is 10 months old and 18 pounds! I really want to find something simple yet unique and beautiful. His name is Devon M. Ibanez. I want a tattoo that represents Miracles, Love and Life
Any ideas?

Dear Celia,
There are many symbols that incorporate miracles, love and life into their meaning. Often when people chose a symbolic tattoo, they find one that comes out of their own heritage. Others find a symbol from a culture they find interesting or commendable. The rest chose symbols based on their aesthetics.
There is no wrong way to go about it. You can use symbols alone, in combination, or find a way to have them work together in a unified piece. Tell your artist what you want, and bring pictures of images you particularly liked. Congratulations on the baby!
Here are a selection of symbolic tattoos that might give you ideas.
- Acorn: Represents birth, growing strength and power, and life
- Rainbow: Represents divine benevolence and miracles
- Peach: In Chinese culture represents birth, spring, the tree of life
- Dream Catcher: In Native American culture, a Dream Catcher was hung over the cradles of babies. It represents protection from unknown forces.
- Comet: Represents miraculous phenomena, something brilliant, exceptional and unexpected
- The Sun card: Success, a life-giving force, love, happiness, end of problems, regaining health, new beginning through renewed health and energy.
