I think a great way to signify the birth of a child is to get his or her birth certificate foot prints tattooed on you. They are classic and will never go out of style. Many parents ask about these because they have seen foot prints done which were black and poorly done, and thus have swayed away from the idea of getting them. The prints should be treated as a portrait would be treated including all the imperfections and grey variations in the print...after all this is what makes it unique to YOUR child. Some parents will try to "fix" imperfections in the print as it might be smudged...or maybe a toe didn't come out etc......BUT this is a bad idea. The print marks a precious moment in time and should not be tampered with. These are two examples of this where the parent left the prints as is even though it had imperfections in it, But he will proudly wear the exact replica of the original hospital print.
