What Should I do?

I am looking to get a tattoo memorializing my being in remission since 1976. Any ideas on what designs to use? area willing to use is 2"x2".

Working in an area that is 2"X 2" is, in my opinion only, limiting yourself and what could possibly be a very unique, beautiful tattoo. Just something that you may want to consider. As far as trying to come up with ideas or ways to express what you are looking for, to the best of your abilty, take a few minutes to write down some of the emotions, feelings, events, etc, that you went through during that time and the time sense then. That way you have a more specific look at what you want to convey through your tattoo rather than a very broad approach. And honestly anything you write down will probably be some of the things you would tell the artist you choose to do your work to give them an idea of what you are wanting. Try that and see if some ideas or thought come to mind. And by all means if you still have any questions please feel free to post and we will try to help you out the best that we can.....J
