I like the idea of getting something symbolic of your family. Just make sure it's something you are going to want for the rest of your life. Are you really going to want a cartoon drawing of your family acting nuts on you for the rest of your life?

No judgment here. Maybe you do. It's just something to think about because tattoos are very permanent.

I love the idea of the flag surrounded by things symbolic of your family though. I think that's an awesome idea.

What if you got something with things you're all interested in? You mentioned a guitar, and music. Maybe something like that?

You could go to the artist who is going to do it and see if he/she could come up with something if you're still stumped.

Well my sister and my dad both play guitar and they are into music and stuff, but I dont play anything and im not really interested in it lol. I love music, and I listen to the same music they do, mostly Pink Floyd...they play that the most on guitar, and we all listen to it 90% of the time. But something with music notes would be cool. I have something in mind, and ive done a rough idea in Paint. Ill post it as soon as I get the time to load it on my webpage.

This is the idea I came up with. I want to get it as an armband. I wanna add maybe a guitar somewhere in there.

Oh and I also thought of doing something with this photo of the three of us at my cousin's wedding.

That armband idea is AWESOME!!!

Really I love it.

Where it wraps around, where there is a gap where the music piece begins and ends, have the guitar there, upright and sort of on a slant. It'll be under or behind your arm and will really only be visible when your arm is raised, but I think it'd look great.

Looks good, but get a musician to have a look at it before you finalise an idea. That design has the equivalent of spelling mistakes, and every musician you see why try to hear it in their head, to see if they recognise it.

Ok, I never thought of that. Actually, a good idea would be to have a line from a Pink Floyd song there instead, that way it would have a little bit more meaning, without having something so obviously Pink floyd on there. (I think it's kinda silly to get a tattoo with a band name and such, same as getting a name of a girl/boyfriend)

Oh so true...I looked back at it, and realized that it doesn't have a time signature, and two of the measures have different counts...And F is the first sharp note...not E...
Well...from a musician's view...

actually, the main that thing that is bugging me is the D, C, and B all have their shafts backwards. The E/F# I was ignoring as due to the wave of the stave.

Now that's a good phrase, the wave of the stave.

Man, I'm ill. I'm goin g back to bed.

^^ Yup!
I agree with both above.
The biggest annoyance for me was the 2.5 beats in the first bar and 4 in the last!
I'd def pick some music that meant something to me, or I liked though rather than random notes.
Let us know how you get on with it though!

Well, pa_dude...then again, depending on the time signature, it could be 5 beats in the first bar, and 8 beats in the last bar...
But then again, if it's some of the more contemporary music, who needs barlines?
