what would be a good tattoo mural to symbolize motherhood?

Q. I want to get a mural tattooed on my back that will represent the change from childhood to motherhood. I know that i want it to be gray scaled and that I don't want the usual faeries, butterfly's, frogs or flowers but im not very creative and the artist needs a general idea that i want to display any ideas?

A. Take images from your childhood, a picture of you on a swing or slide, in diapers, being held, sleeping, different ages, toys and books, and the things that you were interested in at different stages, objects to represent time periods and ages, silhouettes, etc. Look in scrapebooks, and bring any and all pictures, and written ideas to your artist and see what him/her comes up with.
Here's some vague idea images:

A. Native Americans in Alaska also tattooed their chins. This mask of the "Blueberry Woman" hanging in the Museum's Native Alaskan gallery is a good example of tattooing on the chin of a woman. Women throughout Africa have also occasionally tattooed their faces.
