My tattoo was thoroughly thought out. Two branches of cherry blossoms. One branch has 7 flowers with each flower having 5 petals. This totals 35 petals and that is Gary's age. The other branch has 6 flowers with each flower having 5 petals. This totals 30 petals and that is my age. Then we added butterflies to represent our embryo's.
Cherry blossoms represent spiritual beauty. I truly feel like my spirit has had to go through a transformation in this process so I thought they were a great symbol. The butterflies- small and beautiful- just as my embryo's once were.
Just like the entire IVF process-- it was painful!

Holy crap MEECH. I love it!!!!
YAY! You did it! I was wondering whether or not you went through with it. I'm glad you did - it looks great.
I love it! The colors look great together. You have a lot of meaning there.
I plan to get one for our angel babies sometime in the future. I need to do more researching and design something that will be a beautiful lasting reminder of what was.
I don't know how you could do it on the top of your foot though! Ouch!
It's beautiful! I love the hidden symbolism.
You are so brave... I love the design. Thanks for sharing.
WOW! That's incredible. What a beautiful design and I love the symbolism behind it.
I love your tattoo. I am really thinking of getting one too. I think yours is beautiful and I hope it brings you some comfort to know it will be with you always.
