need help deciding on tattoo - September 10th 2011, 05:54 PM

Hey there all!

So, I plan on getting my first tattoo this year. I plan on getting it when I'm in a really good, healthy spot. That way I have a permanent reminder that can help me when I'm low and remind me that the depression won't last forever.

The only problem is, I'm having a hard time deciding on a symbol. I plan to get it on my wrist (really symbolic b/c of sh), small enough that it can be hidden w/ bracelets or a watch. I want something that symbolizes rebirth, fresh starts, hope, and serenity.

I had always planned on getting a butterfly, because they mean a lot to me and have been a big part of my recovery. The only problem is I'm not sure if I'd want a butterfly on my wrist forever. I then started thinking about a dove, but I don't want it cartoonish. I'm just kind of at a lost for what would look good on my wrist and that I would still enjoy when I'm older.

Do any of y'all have any ideas?


God, grant the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know that difference.
