I have been trying unsuccesfully to come with a unique tattoo I can get to immortalize my 2 children whom I lost as infants (a stillborn daughter & premature son), I simply can not come up with anything I really like, I want something more than just their names but I'm not very creative.. if you don't mind sharing your ideas I would love some suggestions. Thanks

Well first of all I am sorry for your loss. That must be very difficult. This is a very serious piece and I admire the fact that you are putting a lot of thought into it.
How large or small are you wanting to go? You can always do there Chinese Zodiac animal and put them into a form of a yin yang. For example. If one child was a tiger and the other was say a dragon. The yin can be the dragon and the yang can be the tiger. You can have them blend together in an M.C. Escher sort of way. If your not familiar with him you should check him out he is real cool. You can also do the flowers that represent there year as well. If your looking for something real different find an artist in a book that you like. Like maybe one of the Impressionists. Van Gogh, Monet, or any other that is normally an image that isn't very clear but is general.
Now you want to do your research on your artist. If you need to travel to do so. I highly recommend it. Find one that you like and you are comfortable with as well.
I don't know if these idea's are your speed or not but I thought that they were cool. Oh and I agree with you I am so tired so seeing people with names on them. It,to me, has no flair or creative thing about it. Good luck with getting the work done and healing on your losses.

Why not have your daughters, your sons, and your own initials interwined in an artistic manner, possibly inside a heart or a celtic protection cross where their spirits would be protected forever. Any good tattoo artist should be able to help you with the lettering design.

My deepest sympathies! A memorial tattoo is a great idea, I think I would consult with a talented tattoo artist, give them some thoughts, likes and dislikes, and let them custom design something for you.

Try having your tattoo artist work with the names in mirror image in a fancy font...so when you look in the mirror the names can be read, but just looking at them straight on they just look like pretty designs, it sort of becomes your special secret that way...

What about little golden clouds or something like that? Or little clouds with halos and their names? Or, you could do little shooting stars. Another suggestion is to go to a tattoo parlor and consult with the artist. They might have ideas you would have never considered.

2 small babies sleeping in a pair of hands, as if those are God's hands holding them with a banner at the bottom with the names
