Question: Can anyone suggest a tattoo image that means "change"?

(Posted by: Miss Taylor on 2008-06-23 21:14:56)

I already have two tattoos and I'm looking to possibly get a third very soon. I know I eventually want to have many tattoos, but I'm trying to space them out over several years. My question is that I'm looking for an image that symbolizes change, growth, rebirth, and maturity, in a general way. My first two tattoos were flat, black images. I designed the first one myself and the second was an image I chose and presented to my tattoo artist. Neither were 3D or detailed, and both were rather small. I want something bigger now, with detail and color. The place I have in mind is my left shoulder, possibly from the tip of the shoulder to my middle back. I don't want something that is culturally "popular " or an image that is the "in " thing. Just suggestions that I can work with and mold into something uniquely ME. I've heard "phoenix ", "flowers ", "yin and yang ", and "butterfly " so far. The phoenix idea is growing on me, but none of the others sound appealing to me. Thanks for help! xox I disagree. Not all tattoos symbolize change. Every piece has a meaning to the person getting it, and it's not "change " for every single person. That's why I'm asking for help. So I appreciate the people that are offering their advice, not their criticism. Thanks.

A phoenix rising from the ashes!!! I think if it was done right on a chick it would be so hot!! If you have a good artist he/ she could work in the oranges, reds and yellows to make it pop out and look real bright.. Yeah and to the moron that said ALL tattoos represent change just needs to shut up, I have a half sleeve and one half of my lower leg done and neither of them have anything to do with change.

Http:/ / articlealley.com/ article_65426_34.html Here is a web sight that might help you. When i get a tattoo I like to search up what i am getting just to make sure there isn't another meaning. Don't forget about the idea putting a few things together.

The crocodile is the death/ rebirth symbol of the Aztecs. Here is an image that may work well for your tattoo thoughts: The image watches.infoniac.com/ uimg/ crocodile-necklace.jpg images.google.com/ images?um= 1 &hl= en &q= rebirth+ symbol &btnG= Search+ Images

I've read that blue represents change, so i have a tattoo of an infinite symbol in blue on my neck.
