Miracle baby tattoo ideas???

Has anyone gotten tattoos for their miracle babies? I'm trying to think of something to get for my son. I love the foot print idea, but I want a little something added onto it to make it extra special. My son is 5 months old, and was on an ECMO machine when he was born. He had a small chance of living, and made it through everything. I want something to represent his strength and will power, but don't know what to get.

We call him our baby dragon lol don't ask. So maybe a dragon design to go with his hospital foot prints?

I also thought maybe I'd put a quote or a special saying to go with the footprints too.

Any ideas would be great! Thanks  

I have both of my kids names in the flower of their birth months! I like them bc the flowers are so pretty I would have gotten them even if they didnt mean anything! It may just be me but I didnt add the dates bc for some reason it reminds me of a memorial.

Aw that's cute. I'm trying to find a saying to put, something to do with miracle babies.

Soemthing like this?

Maybe a dragon with his footprint as the wing?

That's a cute idea. I guess I'll think about it longer.

Here are the quotes that I have found that I like.

‎"We can only appreciate the miracle of a sunrise if we have waited in the darkness" precious

"No one else will ever know the strength of my love for you. After all, you're the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside"

"where there is great love, there are always miracles"
"Before you were conceived
I wanted you
Before you were born
I loved you
Before you were here an hour
I would give my life for you

This is the miracle of life."


"My precious little baby
I have loved you from the start
You are a tiny miracle
Laying closely to my heart

Each day I feel your presence
Each day you heart beats softly
As only I could know

So I'll keep this in a special place
And remember each year through
Of this very special time in my life

The moment I carried you" little baby
I have loved you from the start
You are a tiny miracle
Laying closely to my heart

Each day I feel your presence
Each day you heart beats softly
As only I could know

So I'll keep this in a special place
And remember each year through
Of this very special time in my life
The moment I carried you"

"You never realize how strong you are when being strong is all you know."
