symbols/pictures of optimism

Hello all,

I'm not sure if this is within the rules of this particular forum (if I am in the wrong, someone please let me know) but I am looking for images/symbols of optimism and I was wondering if any of the artists on here could lend a hand in helping me find some or if anyone had any original work they wanted to share for inspiration.

I have been tossing around the idea of a tattoo for a long time and when my girlfriend brought up the idea of getting me one for my birthday, it kinda pushed me into actually wanting to do it. The concept I want to capture is my own optimism. I've always been told I was the type of person that was able to look on the "sunny side" of life in almost all situations and I consider it do be one of my defining personal traits, something that makes me what I am.

Unfortunately I don't have much in the way of ideas. I'm open to most anything, I prefer American based concepts since it would be nice to tie my pride in my heritage into it, but it does not have to be. I know that this is really broad but I'm looking for anything I could get because I am pretty lost right now.

So, any ideas?

-Zach

What do you mean by American based? Patriotic or just not ethnic/tribal?

cookmo,

Thanks for the reply. The tattoo would be on the my back, probably on one of the shoulder blades or that general area. Smaller is better in most cases. When I said American based, I meant just nothing tribal/ethnic. I would be hesistant to put a buddhist symbol on myself when I'm not buddhist, you know?

Like I said in my first post, I'm really open to anything so even if it is tribal/ethnic I would like to take a look!

How about a really happy looking sun? Maybe with sunglasses. A big grin on his face. The style would be "1970's rock poster".

I joked with my girlfriend that I was going to get a big smiling sun with a scoop of raisins in his hand like off the rasin bran box (the cereal I eat the most). She didn't like that idea too much.
