Ideas for tats???

I just posted this question, however none of the answers were at all what I'm looking for. It's my second tat, Iknow that I want something to symbolize my strength and hope and my love for my son. I want to incorporate an L, my son's name starts with L. It's been hard raising my son by myself, and I want something to remind me that I had the strength and love to get through it. I want it on my lower back and I was thinking maybe something tribal. I can't find what the meanings are though for tribal tats. I would love to hear your ideas...and I don't want something with flowers or hearts. Thank you!!


Oh, and I know that tats are permanent, so if you're going to try to talk me out of it, don't post and answer. Have a nice night.

Ideas for tats???
You could try something on the small of your back, like an L in the middle with some filligree coming out and around kind of like a nest with it curving out to your hips...
Reply:This looks dumb because I just drew it in MS Paint, but maybe an L kinda going like this across your lower back with some more fancy filler or "hope" and "love" written in cursive on the outer lines of the L:

Good luck finding something you like!
Reply:an L in cursive writing, on either side of it kanji symbols for strength and love


an L with a ribbon round it and 2 sparrows holding each end
Reply:The bear claw(paw) represents Strength..how about something like that and maybe put a tribal "L" in the center of the claw. Some how incorporate it into the designs that are already in the center of the paw. To be honest the best thing to do is decide where you are going to go to get the Tattoo, they should have some really neat tribal art work and should be able to provide their meaning to you. Sound like a great idea. Good Luck.
