Tattoo i am interested in getting



I am interested in getting this tattoo because the symbol is first off irish, second of it is a symbol meaning love, third i would get this so i could put my mom and dads names over and under this tattoo to symbolize that they will always be with me no matter what. As for the place I would get the tattoo is simple, I would get the tattoo over my heart to always let me be reminded on what they gave to me and where they will always be.
