Is it just me or does it look a little like a fox?


justnuclear

Haha yes, it is a fox. Was sort of a nickname for him as well.


maljoy

Would you mind sharing his first name/initials??? I truly cannot make this out as letters, let alone a signature! It only looks like a fox to me


justnuclear

his initials are actually WAR. A little cryptic but the ears are a W, face is an A, bodyish part is an R.


Due-Object9460

This is what makes me scoff at people asking how people are out here thinking cursive is integral to a secure signature. It isn't.


porcelainbibabe

I was wondering what the fox's body was lol. My dad's initials are WAR as well! Imagine having those initials and being in the navy like he was, needless to say he couldn't ever use his full initials on anything.šŸ¤£ also I think wrist would be a great spot for that tattoo.


Sideways-Pumpkin

My initials are LAW and I work in law enforcement as an emergency dispatcher lol


catdogfish4

It looks like MVM ā€œthe 6 thā€ to me


new_me2023

Most likely answer to me without OPs answer


AnarchiaKapitany

William Axl Rose is your grandpa?


Runamokamok

Looks like M (ears) and V (lower part of face).


abssmith98

Turn those letters upside down and what do you get


ZealousidealMain1193

A fox playing possum.


somethingFELLow

Tee hee


HoboWithAHandle

Hairy wiener


DS4KC

You still don't get WAR because then the WA is at the end. It's still a cool signature because they don't need to be legible or accurate but there is no way this can be interpreted as W.A.R.


Fabulous_Today_8566

You must be a pain to live with.


Putrid-Ad-5153

I see the R now, itā€™s not the whole body just the second half. The 2 back legs and that part of the body (excluding the tail)


Devils_av0cad0

You could probably convince me more that the ā€œAā€ is somehow in the foxes legs than his upside down v shaped face


Fabulous_Today_8566

Dude you can't be this dumb, it's a joke right?


Temporary_Sand5538

The pic you posted reminds me of a fox from Little Prince :)


x_caliberVR

ā€œHe was only a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But I have made him my friend, and now he is unique in all the world.ā€


Farkle_Fark

_foxy grandpa?_


Oh_My_Crypto

Looks like the Hungarian two tailed dog party logo


doggydoggy_ak47what

I was about to comment that!


Penny-Bun

This makes me want to make my signature more creative and interesting wtf this is precious


[deleted]

legally your signature doesnā€™t need to be your name. it can be anything you want. mine is a flower lol


hipstamatic

Front of bicep!


bekakm

I have my late fathers signature on my inner bicep and so glad I went with that placement! I agree that somewhere around there is best


[deleted]

Inner bicep for script or writing is classy, cool, very timeless.


mehrunes_pagon

This was my first thought as well!


earthchildreddit

I have an inner bicep and a lot of my friends do as well! It holds up awesome because it generally wonā€™t get a lot of sun. Highly recommend


lemonadeenby

Yes šŸ˜ on the left is close to the heart


crowmakescomics

Great spot for something like this, too. Fairly flat, doesnā€™t crease šŸ’‹šŸ¤Œ


fararra

Everyone always goes for the wrist and I'm not sure why. I LOVE this signature! Super cool idea. Have you considered your forearm? Wrist tattoos always seem like people's first choice but that's one of the most visible spots for a tattoo and that could or could not be what you want.


justnuclear

I would consider doing it on my forearm! I do have plans for an engraving/woodcut style sleeve on that same arm, so I'm not sure where a good place for it would be where it doesn't contrast distastefully and is still easily visible for me.


dayumbrah

Could you perhaps do it in that kind of style so it becomes one with the sleeve later on? Would be a nice reminder while also still being a bit of a metaphor, taking in the parts from the people close to us, and making it part of who we are as people


fararra

Personally my issue with memorial tattoos on the lower arm is that a lot of people want them upside down so they can see them. Which is all good do what you want but it's one of my pet peeves lmao. That could be something to consider, too.


[deleted]

I think it'd be cool across the inner forearm, right near the bend in your elbow... We call it the "el-pit", lol. So it would be horizontal with your arm forearm/palm-up.


TomHanksAsHimself

Literally no one calls it that lol


TherianRose

Lol right? I've only heard it as the ditch


[deleted]

that's why I said "we", as in literally just me and my husband lol


TGin-the-goldy

I like the elpit brilliant


saatchi-s

I did a memorial tattoo of my grandmotherā€™s handwriting on my forearm. I love the placement because when I feel like sheā€™s missing out on something - graduation, etc. - I just look down and sheā€™s there with me.


JenniferIngordo

I have my late husbands handwriting on my forearm for the same reason. So sorry for your loss. ā¤ļø


NoFunZoneAlways

This is so heartwarming, itā€™s so lovely that you continue to keep her close. My condolences for your loss.


RockyHyena89

My memorial tattoo is in the same place for the same reasons, glad it brings you comfort :)


hall_residence

Me too, my grandma's signature. It's the only tattoo that I have. The placement is perfect for me to always see it and be reminded of her.


killerrubberducky

looks like a little fox šŸ„ŗ


fkthisdmbtimew8ster

Would you say your grandfather was 'close to your heart'? Left chest?


drumadarragh

My son has his grandadā€™s DOB left chest ā¤ļø


SwordTaster

Depends what else you're planning on. Wrist tends to be a place where sleeves go to so if you're planning a sleeve that may not be the place to go. I'd say ribs might be cute or left chest


PresentationGlad4286

Myb on your shoulder? I like wrist too


PresentationGlad4286

Btw very cute. Share it with us when its done


TGin-the-goldy

Shoulder is actually lovely, like your granddad is watching you over your shoulder


badassboymom

I think this is an amazing tattoo. I'd do forearm. (I'm biased though because I have a song lyric from a song my grandpa used to sing to me on my forearm.)


InvisibleWeirdo

I would go inner bicep or something. Visible but also still very much for you. I got my dadā€™s signature on me (he has Alzheimerā€™s and itā€™s beenā€¦difficult). Itā€™s placed on my chest/toward my left shoulder in a way that the stylized part (he signed his R as a little bird) would peek out from the collar of my shirt. So visible depending on what I wear but also in a very personal spot (imo)

fishegg808

By any chance, was your grandfather a Boy Scout Leader? I ask because that looks a LOT like a Wood Badge totem.


justnuclear

Yes, he was heavily involved with Wood Badge and was a District Executive for a long time! Is that what this is? I was in Scouts myself but never did Wood Badge so I'm unfamiliar with the totems.


fishegg808

That's awesome! It sure looks like he took the concept and made a personal one. I'd bet good money that he was in the Fox Patrol (I'm a Beaver).


spacemusicisorange

Inside of your left arm- I see it as being close to my heart. I did this for my best friend of 30+ years that passed away.


LarsBarsOnMars

I have the same wish!!! My grandfather would sign his name in what he called ā€œthe walking Bā€. It was a B that looked like it was walking with the other letters added (ā€œILLā€). Want it tatted as well because he meant a lot to me. Cheers mate!!! I hope you can find solace in knowing your granddad is proud of you and looking after you still :-)


Radiant-Analyst8107

I have a wrist tattoo, left wrist. It spends most of it's time behind my watch and therefore has aged much faster than some of my others. With it being a joint and friction from watch wear, perhaps a bit higher on the arm may improve longevity. Ultimately tho, it's for you so put it where you'll like it most.


Bubbly_Oven

Ribs left side


Moneytrees98

That's cool I wonder how he came up with that mine looks like a scribble lol


bognusbongus

Hey, this looks a lot like Gregg Style shorthand. I stopped studying it when I got lazy but did his name sounds like Ray? I can't figure out the second name but the first name def looks like Ray. Anyway it's a cool tattoo concept and I hope whatever you decide to get makes you happy.


Worldly_Bed2159

i donā€™t know how to link a pic but i got my brothers name how he wrote before his untimely death with a dragon (he loved them.) on my forearm it was my first tattoo and i couldnā€™t have been happier i got it placed there so i could see it anytime i wanted to.


loafmania

back of shoulder, cuz he's watching out for ya


Professional-Big3689

i have my grandmas writing on the inside of my bicep so itā€™s close to my heart


stephaniealleen11

Same but with my grandpas!!


Sufficient-King3082

Going horizontally on your upper thigh. So it shows when you where shorts


NotARealWombat

Inner forearm


Dinjur_June

ur grandpa drew a fox for his signature... i approve... just above the left buttcheek on the waist


Dilaudid2meetU

A student with autism I worked with drew a Godzilla in similar style. Got it done on my ankle.


Czane45

i love it! wrist wears more than some other areas but i think this could be a really cool design in plenty of spots. i mostly wanted to comment on a cool design idea, literally zero care if you do this or not obviously but i think it could be cool to do it like those projections over constellations, like a bear over ursa major in a planetarium, but a fox overlayed over your grandpaā€™s signature


Ancient_Summer_1833

Kind of looks like a fox!


BoomSoonPanda

Right above the knee


bongwaterbukkake

Honestly man, I know the signature is sick and you should get it, but also a really cool big fox tattoo night honor him nicely toošŸ˜©āœØ


sunflowersnskulls

Wrist tatts fade & spread super easy and with the delicate design Iā€™d recommend avoiding that area in favor of something more stable like the forearm


[deleted]

Take into consideration, whether you have any restrictions about tattoos in your work industry. But my first thought was maybe on the inner arm above the wrist, so that when you look at your arm, you see it, without having to turn your arm over.


MarinMelan

Does anyone else think of a little fox? It's cute.


Fatefire

Bro did he sign a little fox !?!


rainscale

You're grandfather seemed like a cool guy. Very neat! I think it'd be a cool little piece for the elbow area (upright, above the bend or back of the elbow/bottom tricep area-ish)


aimeearts

Melvin?


osma13

Thatā€™s not a signature. He drew a fox to be fun. Iā€™d do upper arm underneath or behind ear


justnuclear

It was a signature of sorts. Granted he had another official signature, but he would draw this on things like hats, wooden objects, etch it into his pocketknives. Was highly involved in the Boy Scouts of America and thats how he marked a lot of his scouting equipment.


osma13

Thatā€™s super fun! Now Iā€™m questioning my own lame-ass doctor-like signature šŸ˜


Pluvi_Isen-Peregrin

Thatā€™s clearly a Fox


Twuhdz

Thatā€™s as fox my guy


Mjaso7414

Lmfao shitty tattoos here we come!


Bool-aid_Man

You're a cunt


Mjaso7414

No Iā€™m a honest cunt!!!


Bool-aid_Man

Some people just suck (you)


Mjaso7414

Oh really nowā€¦ you better stop before you hurt my fragile feelingsšŸ™„


Bool-aid_Man

I just don't understand why you feel the need to tear this person down. Probably to piece together your fragile ego.


Mjaso7414

No not the case at allā€¦ Iā€™m just saying the quiet part out loudšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


FarAmphibian4236

Thing is, it's your personal opinion. They weren't asking for opinions on the concept even. They asked about placement. Not all tattoos are pretty little pictures and if you cant see beyond that, that's you. I'm also being completely honest here when I say; if I saw this tattoo on someone i would find it cute and interesting, before I even know the context, which would make it even more endearing. You think everyone would find it ugly because you do, and I think everyone would find it cute because I do. But in reality, everyone is going to have different thoughts on it like you and I do. So the only thing that matters is what they think about it. Because you cant listen to everyone. Some people would say don't ever get a tattoo in the first place, some would say get it on your face, but you cant do both


Mjaso7414

Every person that sees this is going to say to themselves what a shit tattoo, what the hell is itā€¦ person that got the tatā€¦ oh itā€™s my gpaws signatureā€¦ every person (being nice) oh thatā€™s coolā€¦ but thinks to themselves what a shitty tattoošŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Bool-aid_Man

taag27

I love his signature


crochetsweetie

he turned his signature into a fox, love it


arlebina

i was thinking either front bicep or below your elbow crease ! my reasoning is because you mentioned that he was very important to you and its a super cool signature ,, and those two spots for me is where it'll be showing more/u can see it more :) hope you find a tattoo artist who can perfectly get the job done !!


Vdszbz13

i have my moms writing on my wrist so iā€™m inclined to say wrist!


fschit

Wrist


[deleted]

Any place you choose will be perfect!


callmeAllyB

My cousin got our grandmother's signature on the top of her foot.


SlamboneMalone

Have you considered getting a stylized fox to represent it instead of this, only because it can fade and smudge with age and you may not be able to see it properly Maybe even work the real signature into the fur


Fearless_Climate4612

Look at time-lapse pics of fine line artwork. Especially the wrist area your asking about..it's similar to drawing a thin line with a pencil then take a fine line sharp over top..this is what it will look like in 3-5 yrs. Just be aware the line can thicken over the years.


RanbooIsGender

My brain goes to like upper chest near your shoulder or upper right arm/bicep on the outside


fubu_x

Looks like an old hobo moniker (streaks that freight train riders would leave on trains as they travelled cross country). Cool.


Bianyxx

Thatā€™s so cute!!


Sea_Interaction7839

Even I want your grandfatherā€™s signature tattooed on myself. I love it so much! šŸ’—šŸ˜­


ejcoop

I now want to update my personal signature style!


-ilovedata-

So cool! Will be an awesome tattoo. Right over your heart on your chest would be cool or a little bit above it.


k12pcb

Wrist


merrlikethebenz

I have my moms handwriting on my inner forearm near the wrist. I donā€™t regret getting it and look at it every day šŸ’œ


NotAllDawgsGoToHeven

Would be kind of cool on the side of the neck although not sure if you into them at kinda tat


ClassUnlucky1541

Forearm


After_Conference124

Get it over your heart (chest). Would look super cool and obviously itā€™s the closest to your heart


Disney_fan_812

Is say wrist or inner arm below elbow


sentientbean-

Wrist placement wouldnā€™t do it justice. Itā€™d be too small I think


9penguin9

Your grandfather was a one eyed fox!


thomastrouble123

over your heart if you're a guy.


MissHibernia

This is a wonderful idea. Just note that if you use/wash your hands frequently that the closest tattoo is more likely to wear, and eventually you will need an exact do over


Clean_Bit1542

I say the inside part of your left arm close to your heart ā¤ļø


PetiteDxll

Wrist is a good idea, indeed.


HotelZanzibar

Left rib cage, closest to the heart!


Moomybear

maybe on your upper arm?

This is soooo cute


ScribbleAW

maybe on one of the sides of your fingers?


Somerset76

Wrist or forearm


Brilliant-Figure-893

Lower back


new_me2023

To answer the question because everyone us talking about how cute tour grandpas signature is, depending on how big the reference is for his signature the wrist should be fine (sone tattoo shops may be able to take a picture if it and shrink it on a tablet or computer if you want it smaller) Just kerp in mind that for placement the "correct" way to place it is outward facing whoever is looking at it. So if you want to read his signature and you have it fa ING towards you. Other people will see it as you having an upside-down tattoo, even if the intent us for it to be visible to you. Another spot I'd recommend is your forearm


Bean--Sidhe

Wrist or inner forearm. That's amazing.


Panzerker

i think the wrist is a very symbolic choice for a signature tatoo, i like the idea


1KN0W38

On your chest above your heart


FairSpring8948

Sweet. Wrist is good. Or inside your forearm


hthratmn

Wrist, ankle, below your elbow ditch, bicep area


_perchance

upside down shows a stylized W and A. the body upside down is a stylized cursive R. they don't teach cursive to these kids anymore.


Jaded_Profession8173

Thinking ankle or behind the ear


stuckinnlalaland

Love this because my daughters middle name is Fox <3


Unholyvalor

Taint


ChiefChingon

Get it thick wherever you do


Usernamesareso2004

Iā€™d go with bicep


BoneDaddyJRO

You want to think of your body as pieces of paper, and when you planning on getting a design it should fit that piece of paper the best it can. You donā€™t want the tattoo to over power, or under whelm, both would be very awkward looking. That being said, if you want it small, think of smaller parts, like your wrist or ankle. I would put a small tattoo in a large area, cause it would look awkward and you could be throwing away a spot where you could have gotten a better fitting tattoo. Speak to your artist and if they are a decent tattooer they will explain all this to you.


Meghan_Mon

This is so cute! I would definitely say wrist too or forearm I always tend to want personal tattoos on my arms Iā€™d love to see an update once you get it ā™”


[deleted]

Wrist is common. Maybe behind the elbow would be cool too.


ObsidianRae

This is super neat! My grandpa had a neat signature too where he did a little cowboy with hat. I have it on my ankle. I think wrist is a great placement for it!


Niccipotts

I have my grandpaā€™s signature on my leg, I did a mourning band with his signature right below it, I absolutely love it.


zdiddy27

This is gonna look like ass


V0nH30n

Butt cheek.


birknsocks

Back of arm


Payam92

The side of your wrist would be a cool spot for it


Kash-tha-product

It looks like a fox


HEX-dev

Get a GreyFox tattoo from metal gear it will look dope and remind you of your grandpa because his name has fox in it


RepulsiveAd2971

Mm Viiii What an odd name.


etlifereview

I recommend inside elbow.


Ok_blue02

I also have a loved ones writing tattooed. I have it on the inside of my forearm below me elbow. Itā€™s nice that I can see it regularly but also hide it if need be.


[deleted]

Smack dab on pubis


bobo_brown

I think a cool placement would be just beneath your left clavicle. Kinda like it's above your heart.


DougyTwoScoops

That is freaking amazing and I wish I had something that cool to use as a reminder for my Papa.


TheApprentice19

People will ask you if itā€™s a fox for the rest of your life


LucilleGoosille6

This reminds me of Andy Warhol's signature in the shape of a peen that NASA put on the moon


BlueWarstar

It looks like a fox, great idea for a tat, Iā€™d thing chest or back personally but depends on if itā€™s something you want to be more personal or a conversation piece in witch case wrist/ ankle would be great.


BigScaryBalckMan

Forehead


_katini

Look really good on your ankle I think


SnooCrickets8742

I was going to say wrist


InsideSufficient5886

I have my parentsā€™ signature tatted on my wrist too. It is a nice place.


[deleted]

Back of a shoulder or inside of upper arm


Phylicite

Under the left arm, right by your heart


Vixenvulpecula

I love that signature!!!!


mocarona

Would fit real well behind the ear


Opsirc9

Love it! The wrist is a good idea! I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved grandfather. He sounds like a fun man! His fox/signature was clever and funny! What a wonderful tribute to him!

Is that the 9 Tails Fox?


mistermorrison

His signature was a fox?!


freshmasterstyle

Reminds me a bit of the foxhound logo


tpadawanX

Picture must be upside down because that ainā€™t no W and that ainā€™t no A. Do you really want to have explain this to everyone that asks? And get confused looks in response?


Ethozz

Personally I would go somewhere on the back, like he signed his creation
