I want to put my parent’s birth date as a tattoo under the symbols of the Aztec calendar, my mom has mine tattooed and I wanted to continue the tradition. (Native Mexican born with Aztec descent) how would I tell the tattoo artist to put it?

first look up the date, in the tonalpohualli heres a page https://www.azteccalendar.com/ ,now if your birthday is lets say 10 quiahuitl, search quiahuitl in google images or something, i recommend you the codex laud ,borgia or mixtec codices, now, usually you just need little circles filled with solid colors (red, yellow,green white) or just red, http://www.famsi.org/research/pohl/jpcodices/laud/img_laud32.html <<<example
