I am born in Romania, and moved to Canada when I was 6. I would like to get a patriotic tattoo, something to represent Romania. This only ideas i have had so far are the Romanian crest: http://www.rozylowicz.com/retirement/graphics/europe2001/romania.gif
the other idea was to take my grandparent’s last names and get those tattooed instead. Any other ideas guys?

you can tattoo Decebal’s face, the last King of Dacia http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/Decebalus_b.jpg/250px-Decebalus_b.jpg
the oak leaf is a romanian symbol too
The map of Romania Mare (Greater Romania) I thnk this is one of the most loved patriotic symbols in Romania http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Romania_MASSR_1920.png/350px-Romania_MASSR_1920.png
Vlad ‘Dracula’ Tepes’s face would be a good patriotic symbol
The Romanian coat of arms is beautiful and would make a fine tattoo (and has the crest in the center of it):

If you wanted a bit of Canada with this, you could simply put some leaves:

You could also have your grandparents last names incorporated with these other images quite successfully if you wished. I would put them in Romanian in a nice script. Your tattoo artist could help you with the layout to make a truly individual, meaningful, and personal custom tattoo for you. I think that you should take these images to the tattoo parlor and have a consultation as to what would work, how and where etc.
Good luck with this, it is a wonderful idea, and will be a fine tattoo that you will be happy to always carry with you.
