Q. I'm 15 and my step mom said i can get a tattoo when i turn 16 which is jan 6th. What should my first tattoo be a tramp stamp or like a little star or something? If you have any suggestions plz write them down & try to put a picture lol thank you!!!!!!!
Answer
First, don't let anyone sway your opinion on if you want a lower back tattoo. They were around long before the term "tramp stamp" was invented, and they'll be around long after people ask "what's a tramp stamp?". If that's what you want, then go for it!
Second, seeing as to how tattoos are forever, make it something meaningful, or something that you will enjoy for the rest of your life. Remember that likes and dislikes will change a lot over your life (especially in the next 5 years of your life), so when you make your decision, make sure that it won't be something you'll hate later on in life, such as lyrics from a band you can't remember 20 years from now ^_~ (however, if it's meaningful lyrics, or from your 'all time favorite band', then consider it [ex: I would be happy with the lyrics from Metallica's Fade to Black, but I'd kick myself if I had Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby]).
Likewise, if you choose some picture of some sort, unless you plan to have a 'child-like playfulness' about you your entire life, I would avoid any sort of child-like imagery (if fate should have it that, at 80, you're a bitter old woman, you will hate the lollipop tattoo on your ankle), or conversely, anything too 'extreme' from your 'average self' (if at 80 you're a kid-at-heart, the tattoo that reminds you to take the "safe route" might become too stuffy for you).
For something meaningful, consider your own personality traits. If you think of yourself as being courageous, pick a lion. If you're cute, pick a puppy or a ribbon. If you love stargazing, pick celestial figures. If you're religious, pick your favorite passage from your (insert appropriate book here), or an icon from your favorite story. If you take pride in your heritage, pick a pattern based off that heritage... and so on.
If you want something purely artistic but simple, some suggestions: a shower of stars, a rainbow ending in a cloud, butterflies (consider natural butterflies as well, as they are just as vivid in nature as our own imaginations), frogs, geckos, vines, flowers, leaves, small birds, owls, or smiley face with "Have A Nice Day" (or maybe a pirate happy face with "Have A Piratey Day, ARRR!", or some other theme like that).
Most tattoo shops will have flash (common tattoo images) on their walls for you to look at, so if no ideas here satisfy what you want, check out their flash, and see if you can't work with your artist to come up with something that's "uniquely you".

What about a butterfly tattoo?
Q. So before i tell you what it it here's a little backstory to why i want it. My mom had a tough life growing up (with details that don't need to be explained) and so the butterfly became something that made her stronger. for her it simbilized re-birth and letting the past go and starting a new and better future with her growing family. However, my mom died when i was three years old. And to me it means sort of the same and though i will never be able to forget her i can not let it negatively effect my future.
When i decided i wanted a tattoo i knew it was going to be there forever and i didn't want something that didn't mean something. So i was thinking of getting some sort of butterfly tattoo with her name incorporated somehow.
i know that sounds discreet but when i do go to get my tattoo (won't be for a few years) i'm going to have an artist custom sketch my tattoo so it is more unique
Is that a good enough reason to have a tattoo. i know it will always mean something to me. And if anyone has an idea of where to get it that doesn't sag to bad, in a stretch mark area, or might take away from me getting a job that would be awesome too. (pain really isn't an issue)
Omg i was set on my thigh last night before i checked this

Answer
this is going to sound crazy, and i swear on my life it's true, but my mom had a tough childhood, too (no details) and ever since she was a little kid she has loved dragon flies and how they could just fly away from it all. i plan on being a model, but in honor of her, i want i dragonfly tattoo in a few years. i have decided i want it either just inside of one of my hip bones below my underwear line or to one side of my upper back. i was thinking of incorporating her name into the body area so that it looks like the segments of the body and using her two favorite colors on the wings.
