I have a friend who has 5 kids. After her first was born, a tattoo artist friend offered to do one for her...she opted to get a small rose bud with the child's name and birth sate in script. As each child was born, the artist lengthened the original stem and added shoots with another bud, and of course, each name and birth date. It has turned out to be about the size of what a portrait on the back would be, and is quite beautiful.
