butterfly tattoo photos image
this girl
I turn 18 next Monday, and that is something I always wanted to do.
I want to get a butterfly tattoo ( butterflies mean a lot to me )
Q: What do i do? I mean could i google butterfly tattoos and print one out that i like and maybe mix it up and/or change it a little to make it my own? And take it in and show them? do they make a sketch the same day ? or do I come back to get it done? Not sure how it works...
Answer
Look at photos of real butterflies, as well as stylized tattoo versions, decide the style you want and print out pics for reference.
Call your chosen studio, ask when would be convenient to call in to discuss your design, turn up and tell the artist what you want.
Whether or not they complete the sketch same day or later depends on artist, studio and work load, as well as what you want for your design.
You may have to wait a few weeks, then the artist will call you, tell you it's done and arrange appointment, or you may just turn up and get a same day appointment.
Do your Research and choose your studio carefully. good luck

What type of tattoo should I get and where?
Elli Kay
I am fixing to turn 18 and I am contemplating getting a tattoo. But I want it to mean something. I want it to represent what I have been through in my life (self-injury, rape, bulimia). Also I need to know where would be the best place to put it since I am going into Air Force ROTC. What do you think?
Its to represent my moving past and being stronger.
Answer
I think that you need to think about what Tod said.
You do not want to carry into the future, the bad things that you have had happen to you, by representing them in a tattoo image.
What happened to you and how you handled it is not what you would have chosen if it had been different. Don't let the bad stuff win.
Don't let the rape dominate your life, and don't let your life revolve around it, and the things that you did to cope.
You do not win this way. You need to not carry it into the future to be free.
How do you do this? Yes, you went through a lot. So don't put yourself through more of the same! To be free, you need to find an image that is pure and free from all of that. Something that will make you smile everytime that you look at it. Something to confirm that your life is yours and that you are in charge. Something that you would have chosen if you had not gone through what you have gone through. That is how you progress into the future. That is how you have more years of happiness, and spite the bad stuff.
Give yourself a wonderful gift! Something beautiful, and strong, and unique.
Here's something powerful:
Lilith:

Durga:

Now you may need something small for now, so:
I love this 'Lion raindrop' and all that it symbolizes:

and this would translate well into a tattoo:

Otherwise, there is the butterfly, the flower, the bird, .. all strong and beautiful symbols that you can personalize.
As far as placement, find out what you can and cannot do before you commit.
