Getting a tattoo or going to therapy?

Question

I got this tattoo today for the three pregnancies I have lost this year. To say goodbye to them. To my babies. My artist was amazing and we had a real deep chat about miscarriage and the struggle of trying to convince and assisted fertility, it was a really emotional, moving hour I was in there (I’ve been to this guy for all of my tattoos which is a lot and we have a good relationship). I just wanted to share it with you guys because I love it so much and I think it really captures the message I was sending to myself💙💗

Accepted Answer

I drew this myself and then had an artist tattoo it on me, each flower represented a different part of my feelings towards my miscarriage. Pink carnations for a mother’s love, sunflower for growing through the pain, forget me nots because even if I have another child it will never replace the one I lost and I will never forget their memory, marigold for Dia De Los Muertos because I put what would have been their pacifier out every year on the alter, and a raspberry for 8 weeks how long I had with my baby

Answer

I was lucky enough to get my rainbow baby. But getting this tattoo done was so healing it helped me in so many ways

Answer

I drew/designed my own tattoo for our two angel babies that we lost this year. The flowers are baby’s breath, and the little heart inside the big one means “I carry your heart in mine”. And of course the semi colon represents depression, suicide, anxiety, etc. I felt it represented everything so well and it has helped me cope. I’m so sorry for your losses! 💕

Answer

I love that!! I've been thinking of what I want to get tattooed in remembrance of my 3 miscarriages

Answer

Awh I'm sorry, I've had 2 misscariages and 1 chemical pregnancy. 
The tattoo is beautiful.
For me getting a tattoo of remembrance of MC is not for me (and I have many tattoos). It would just hurt too much and cause unwanted feelings again.
Stay strong mamas !

Answer

I feel you, Momma! I’ve lost four babies, too. I’m so sorry for your losses and the pain that follows. This memorial of your angels is absolutely beautiful ❤️
