I'm sorry to here of your loss!! This is a very sensitive area, an in memory tattoo has alot of meaning and you should not rush it. I've done many, most are portraits, but when you don't have a pic you should think of what comes to mind when you think of him, If not take your time something will come to mind--But what ever you decide it should be something you feel in your heart-not something on a wall. (Did you get a foot print done?) That's always something that is significant to your son- you can't go wrong there!! Good luck

Well a tattoo wouldn't be the answer to your loss. If anything it will be a constant reminder of such the tragic event.
i have a better idea.
how about you take the sonogram pictures, positive pregnancy test, and whatever little memories you may have and put it in a small coffin and bury it somewhere special. and treat may 26th like its birthday and visit the area once every year. That will way much more relieving as say a tattoo would be. Because then you will constantly get asked "who is brayden?" "what happened?" over the years that will get annoying and you will constantly have to talk about it. Doing the memorial would put closure to such a devastating event.

How about the chinese symbol for the year of the Pig or Boar?
"Contrary to its rather negative reputation in the West, the Pig of Chinese Astrology may be the most generous and honorable Sign of the Zodiac. Pigs are nice to a fault and possess impeccable manners and taste. They have so much of the perfectionist in them that others may be inclined to perceive them as snobs, but this is a misconception. Pigs are simply possessed of a truly luxurious nature, one that delights in finery and riches (in surroundings, food, lovemaking and otherwise). This Sign believes in the best qualities of mankind and certainly doesn't consider itself to be superior. Pigs also care a great deal about friends and family and work hard to keep everyone in their life happy. Helping others is a true pleasure for the Pig, who feels best when everyone else is smiling.
A Pig with no one around to appreciate its giving nature is a sad sight. Pigs are so magnanimous they can appear almost saintly; this can lead some less-than-well-intentioned souls to stomp all over this Sign, and the bad news is, the Pig will take the blows! Pigs make great companions in part because of their refusal to see the more negative or base qualities in a partner, but that rose-colored view can lead to this Sign's allowing itself to be taken advantage of. Contrary to their seemingly benign dispositions, however, Pigs can be quite venomous in response to being crossed by a lover, friend or business partner.
Pigs are highly intelligent creatures, forever studying, playing and probing in their quest for greater knowledge. They can be misinterpreted as being lazy, however, due to their love of reveling in the good stuff; this Sign could happily spend hours on end making love, napping, taking a long bubble bath or dallying over an incredible spread of rich foods. Pigs tend to make wonderful life partners due to their hearts of gold and their love of family. Even so, Pigs can be rather exclusive, choosing to spend time with those who will appreciate them most and ignore the rest of the populace. Pigs would do well to realize that there's more to life than being needed. When they open up their world to a diverse group of people, they will truly bloom"
2007 is the year of the Golden Pig. I found one good image at

I am sorry for you loss. My friend had the same thing happen to her a few months back. She got a tattoo of his footprints on her shoulder with his name and the D.O.B. and the D.O.D. It looks very nice. When people ask her about it, she likes to tell the story of how he will always be with her.
