Wow some really nice ink here on PT, alright so the OP was asking about symobls so here is one I got on my tummy right above my c-section scar in honor of myself and my three kids, this took 4 settings of 2 to 21/2 hours a piece, I'm a big wienie but it really wasn't that painful, is why I put it there as I have no feeling to about an inch above the scar, lol.

This was when I got it finished in May of '09, it is mine and my kids Chinese Zodiac symbols, colored in the color of our birthstone for our moth of birth, so if you are looking at it this way from right to left, the first green symbol is for me I am a Dragon/Leo/August, the second symbol is for my oldest son, who is a Dog/Capircorn/December, the third symbol is for my daughter who is a Rat/Libra/October and the last symbol is for my youngest son who is a Rabbit/Leo/August -


and I have a butterfly on my left outside calf, I got it at a time in my life when I just wanted to fly away from everything, that has been a long time ago, I was 23 at the time so it has been ten years but it has meaning and I changed the colors in it to what I wanted, lol -


I have a few more things I want to get done and the guy who did my tummy tat will be the one to do them, he's a good friend of mine just gotta get the money, I do want to have the dogs pawprints going up my right calf, into my thigh, lol
