Where should I put my tattoo?

I never really treated myself to anything when I met my weight loss goal, even though that was a HUGE accomplishment, and I was thinking of getting a new tattoo as a birthday gift to myself next month.

I have only one tattoo now, it's on my right breast and means special/unique, and I was thinking that I wanted another symbol, but this one would be for "perseverance"

Now the question is - where do I get it?

I'd like it to be somewhere I can cover up but also show off if I want to.

Ideas?

    In the hip area near the vajaja. Not sure what that part of the body is called. But when you were a bikini you will make the boys melt with it there

    Behind your ear? On your nape? Wrist? Hip bone? Behind your ankle?

    Bikini line?
    That's what I've always called it.

    I agree with the bikini line.
    Either that or on the back/side of your thigh. Kinda by your butt, but not quite there :p
  • If you dont have an idea as to where you want the tattoo placed... then you are not ready to get the tattoo. It show uncertainty. Go to a tattoo shop, have them make you a stencil and place it in different areas of your body. Then you can look at all the stencil marks to help you decide.

    I love the nape of the neck. I wanted my first tattoo to go there, but the owner said that I should probably put it in a more discrete place just to make sure that I like it. So, we did my bottom back. DH and I am going to get more this weekend!! :bigsmile:

    oooo top of foot, or the hip area or wrist,

    my next one is a dragonfly (they symbolize change, and it will be on my foot, with the year I met my best friend, 1990, she will have a matching one, silly maybe, but sentimental to us)

    Don't put it where you can't see it. You spent the money so put it where you can see it. I made that mistake.

    I have three tats. One of an angel (on my ankle), one of the Green M&M girl with hot red boots (on my hip), and one of a cherry blossom with a humming bird and the number 26.2 (along my entire side). My favorite site is my side. It's easy to show others, but no one gets to know its there unless I'm in a bikini or I show them. :-) Also doesn't show when I need to dress in a formal gown for work...that's important.

    Your right breast may be special, but is it unique? Look a little to the left...whatcha got over there? I'm guessing it's got a very similar sister. ;)

    Congrats on your loss, BTW! Fantastic job!

    My first one was on my inner wrist, I can show it if I want and I can hide it if I want. its not huge or anything a lotus with some numbers under it.

    good places inner wrist, ankle, front of your shoulder/collar bone area - I have one there and you can only see it when I want you too, top of your foot maybe? It really depends on how big you want it.

    You seem like a pretty modest person and I think putting it on the nape of your neck or behind your ear is fine but to cover those your hair has to be worn in a specific way and if you ever want to cut your hair short it may pose as a problem professionally speaking.

    When I am not 100% sure where I want something I get a permenant marker and trace it on that area, that way it will fade/wash off in time and if I hate it in that area I can always move it until I find a place I like

    Oh, I should add that the one that was killer painful was also the side!!!!

    I adore little tattoos like that on shoulder blades.

    Or dont put it where you see it everyday, you may get sick of it in 10 years.

    Edit to add I think it would look nice on your shoulder.

    I have the chinese symbol for "hope" on the back of my neck. I like the inside wrist idea or lower ankle for a tattoo that size.

    This won't be popular on this thread, but...don't get another one! Everybody has one or ten these days. I'm kinda sick of seeing them. Be unique and stay ink free. (in your case, be more ink free).

    why would you even post on here? she didnt ask for opinions about if she should get it, she was looking for ideas on where she should get it.

    ...really? She shouldn't get a tattoo because *you* are sick of seeing them? What an odd opinion to add to this thread, especially considering she already has one.

    Mine is on my ankle. I want another when I reach my goal. I'm going to have it done on my back, up by my right shoulder blade. Or the nape of my neck. Either way I can cover with shirt or hair down, but show when I want to.

    I'd put it right on one of your lovely muscles you worked so hard for, perhaps a shoulder blade?

    I got my first one on the back of my left shoulder, my ex said that you see a line of ladies at a bar and majority of us have tattoo's on our shoulders and he said it looked like we'd been stamped. Didn't care what he said as I love it - I have however just expanded as the only part of my body I (currently) like is my back, I've now had the original tattoo reflected on the other shoulder and 5 flower heads and swirly lines linking everything together, it's fab, it also sticks up out of the top of clothes as it goes to almost my hairline!! Also have one base of my back and on my right ankle!!

    I do like the bikini line idea though - maybe once I get one of those I might have another 1!!! But also agree with the person who said that if you've not decided where to have it then maybe you're not quite ready for it yet! the Stencil idea is a good one too!!
