Who out of you has symbolic tattoos and what do they mean to you?

I have 5. One is a seabee. When I was in the navy, another is a great whit I got after my dad died. It’s identical to his. I have another shark on my arm that represents my daughters personality. (fighsty). That’s all on my right arm. On my left I have a tiger shark from when my girls where little ankle bitters. And a whale for my youngests. Attitude she’s relaxed and loving

I have a one eyed Jack (of spade) surrounded by plants on my right arm. My father had the Jack of spade tattoo because his name was Jack. After he passed I got it in memory of him. I got the surrounding plants to look like a forest floor. The plants are slightly growing over the card symbolizing him going back into the earth.

On my left arm I have a tattoo symbolizing my mother. Its sort of difficult to explain, but I got a sun with a ray of light shining into a prism producing a rainbow. The rainbow gets smaller and comes out as venom from a green scorpion’s tail.

I’m not done with either tattoo though…I need a lot more money! lol

I currently have two tattoos. My 1st is of a sunrise over a mountain in my hometown. I woke up to that each morning and when I moved (about 3 years ago) I missed it so much that I decided I would get it tattooed on me so some part of my hometown was always with me. My second tattoo (the scorpion) is a representation of me.The exoskeleton being the walls I put up to protect myself, the stinger-my anger and the scorpions habitat (the desert) representing that I can survive through almost anything if I try.

Haha it’s not “restricted” to tattoos that was just my curiosity, but yes I’ll make this a more vast question, what is something you have thats symbolic to you?

Wish it wasn’t only restricted to tattoos but I do have some other symbolic things.

I have this necklace that my dad gave me which was pretty much the last time I saw him, Its a cross and to me it means to have faith and one day I’ll come and see you again.
