Question for those who know of tattoos

[HorseCrow]

I am searching for my next tattoo (I know, I know- it's a never ending search). And I have decided that i would like my next tat to be a midwife tat, so to speak. I am searching and have been searching for a good design, preferbly an old/original tat... like maybe a protective tat that midwives/birth helpers would have long ago.

Do any of you have any ideas or know where I might find such a tat- coz I've been looking for ages now, and I cannot find any.

You say searching?
Can you elberate, what search engines and type of sites you have been viewing?

I am a pro at tat searcher. So might be able to help, hopefully. :flowers:

I kinda like the one's Faewynn put up. I'm seeing something in my minds eye involving spirals blending somewho with the kundalini chakra. A Sheela-na-gig would be a little to graphic :ggrief: . Also, look for a design of old Hebrew amulets against Lilith (sorry, Auntie Lil) that incorporate the names of the 3 angels sent to "reel her in": I can ony remember the name Semangelof right now.....

Oh my :lol: The Sheela-na-gig kinda wigs me out :lol:

Yep. But I need to be told what's in the mind's eye so I can make it the way it needs to be. :D What part of the body is it going on?

[HorseCrow]

Those are lovely ideas guys, thanks :)

I think it will have to go either on my shoulder or my shoulderblade- I'm not completely sure. I am no way near a pro searcher for tats, so I've just been looking through google mostly. The inspiration/style that I'm looking for is even as far back as stone age, celtic in design would be nice... something aimed at protecting and guiding the midwifes work.
I know I'm vague... sorry....

I used this in a Tshirt I made up for my cousin.. She was wanting to be a midwife or doula...
