Tattoo placement recommendations

I recently had a miscarriage and want a tattoo for them. I don't know they gender and the tattoo will have to be properly designed. I came up with a rough image of what I want. I currently have 3 other tattoo's one and my wrist, calf, and back right shoulder. I was thinking of getting this on my chest right above my right breast so it looks like they are sleeping on my chest but heard the pain is very bad (I have low pain tolerance). The one on my back hurt like hell and I just about tapped out because it's big with a lot of detail. My other 2 didn't hurt that much. As you can see from the photo attached it will probably have detail and shading. What other places could I put this?

Hey lovely, Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. I had a miscarriage back in February of last year and I also wanted a tattoo for them. I got a tattoo that I can add to over time when I have other children so I never forget them. I got my, my partners and what would have been their birth flower tattooed on me as a way to commemorate them, my rainbow is due in July and my partner is also a July baby so I'm going to add another July birth flower to the tattoo as soon as I can! I think I wanted something subtle that myself and my partner know what it means but it wasn't too on the nose as not everyone knew we were expecting I hope you decide what you want to do and whatever you do decide, you will never forget that baby đŸ„° sending you all the love in the world x

@Vicki, we already told everyone i was pregnant right after I found out at 3 weeks. It was my 3rd pregnancy and we didn't expect that to happen. I don't mind any tattoo I ever get to be to much. For me a tattoo is is like a chapter of a story and my body is the canvas. I am the book and my body tells my story. All my tattoo's have meaning to them. I will be getting different tattoos for my 2 girls (oldest is 2, and youngest will be 11 months old on April 3rd). For my girls and future children I am thinking about their birth stats in the shape of a foot print, each will be staggered, making it look like they are walking on me. When the girls hit a certain age and can write their name or initials I will have that tattooed right below each Foot print. I am just not sure where I want them just yet.

That's fair! See i didn't tell many people with my first pregnancy and cos it all happened so quickly from finding out to losing them I went subtle, only my family know what I've been through there. With my son now, I didn't tell anybody I was pregnant till after my first scan at 15 weeks because I was terrified of a do over, I'm sure wherever or whatever you decide to do, it is an awesome tribute to your baby, hope you're doing OK love x

@Vicki I am doing a lot better now. Just taking it one day at a time

Best way to do it x
