Well since I turned 18 on Saturday I can now get a tattoo. I went shopping with my boyfriend and we ended up in a tattoo parlour. I had a nice long discussion with the tattoo artist but I backed out at the last minute. I didn't have the money on the anyway.

Also I am not 100% sure of my tattoo idea.

I want a tattoo for my Grandparents who are both seriously ill. My Nan's name means Peace and my Grandad's name means Graceful.

I have always wanted a dove to represent peace and grace. Dove tattoos are very common so I want something to make it stand out and make it a bit more unique.

I want it on my shoulder blade like this http://www.flowerpictures1.com/r-sho...attoo-1261.htm (just for placement not this tattoo)
Not too big and fairly simple. I want something that I could expand when I am older.

Anyone got any ideas of how to make a dove tattoo more unique, or any other tattoo ideas.

Both of my grandparents were born in November. The birthstone is Topaz, birth flower is Chrysanthemum and horoscope is Scorpio.
I wouldn't get a scorpion tattoo but something like this could be nice.

I won't get it until I am 100% sure it is what I want, I have a few basic ideas I just want to expand the basic plan a bit. The tattoo artist gave me a few ideas but nothing jumped out at me and most of his ideas where really big.
