I'm sixteen, and I don't plan on getting a tattoo until I'm well over eighteen and have thought about the design for a long time.
I have been speculating about certain designs though, and a few are going on my list of ideas.
A small, feminine koi fish with mostly outlining and a little bit of color
The words "Don't Panic" as a reference from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
A small "torn flesh" tattoo (http://www.checkoutmyink.com/assets/photos/0032/9703/helmutbiotechmech_large.jpg) with zebra stripes underneath
Something from alice in wonderland
My own design, which looks something like this http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y290/StaciaRain/tattoocopy.jpg
I absolutely WILL NOT get any of the following: Hearts, stars, flowers, names, banners, asian symbols, butterflies, fairies, dolphins, yin and yang, celtic/tribal symbols, old english, insert any other cliche tattoo here. I know I'm contradicting that above with the koi fish/alice in wonderland ideas, but those I think are less common and easier to personify.
Also, any tattoo I get will be relatively small and preferably sans outline if I can get away with it. I won't do anything on my lower back, arms, ankles, or wrists.
Opinions? Comments?
Apparently the torn flesh link doesn't work, here's another example

didnt someone just ask a question of where to find torn flesh tattoos with zebra print underneath?? hmm sounds like someone stole your idea, or you stole theirs?
i really like your don't panic one, just something about those words.
not all of your 'cliche' tattoos are cliche..here is a really cool butterfly tattoo:

and i have seen some really pretty banner tattoos.
eta: also, maybe with the torn flesh one you should just have like a 'patch' instead of torn flesh? in my opinion, the torn flesh ones look a little weird, like gross cause they are torn flesh lol..? i have a patch [i guess you could call it but it like curves with my body] of leopard print going from my foot to about half way up my calf on the inside of my leg, and i get lots of compliments on it.

What else would go with my existing tattoo?

I have a tattoo on my right foot. It's a black and grey rose and of a medium size.
I feel that my left foot is missing out and I feel like there should be a tattoo on that foot too.
Only thing is I don't want a matching tattoo to the one I already have. But I would like one that's different but not completely clashing.
I'm open to all suggestion, be that colour, size, anything!
Thanks guys! =)
I'd like to say i'm quite into the hardcore scene, so pretty tattoos aren't really me. Thank you though :)
And to the 4th comment down - What you say, means nothing to me. You are illiterate. So someone here nears to learn how to look after their brain. I hope you did a good job of raising your children...

Not matching, but not clashing, and not girly... hmm
Well a rose (as I see it, although I can't see your actual design, which might help if you'd like to upload it?) is a traditional, old school tattoo design, so in your shoes (no pun intended!) I'd try and find a type of tattoo with the same classification but totally different content. Perhaps an anchor design? I would personally stick to black and grey, I think one foot colour one foot black might look a bit odd, but then I'm a stickler for symmetry! I wouldn't want it myself, but if you're into hardcore and wanted something a bit traditional, I could perhaps see a simple black anchor sillhouette entwined with white/pale grey rope and a skull background with some very small black rose/flower detail around the edges.
Alternatively, if you wanted something a bit wacky, how about getting your other foot done all over in zebra/leapord print, or stripes, something a bit different!
Another alternative, you could simply stick with black and grey flower of a different sort, perhaps black cherry blossom or lillies?
Or *ideas flowing now* some big fat Kanji, translating into an expression of some significance to you, I could see large black Kanji working well with a black rose. If you go down that road, never just take eastern language off a flash wall, always get someone reliable who speaks the language check it out, you've no idea how many funny websites I've seen with people's mistaken Kanji tattoos or w/e!
On the japanese theme, you could also look into traditional japanese tattoo design, it's my favourite style, powerful and beautiful without being too girly (in my opinion!), just google it and see if it stirs up any inspiration!
My last idea... if you have a poem or song lyrics or some text that means something to you, you could simply have that written on your other foot (in English). Ouchy on your foot, lots of outline and detail, but would look awesome as a foot tattoo I think, particularly opposite your rose!
EDIT: To the answerer below.
If you dislike tattoos, why are you in the tattoo section?
You don't know how old she is, perhaps she is even married already for all you know, and for many women these days marriage is not the be all and end all. I, for one, would not wish to be married to a man who would judge on something as superficial as what's on your skin.
I'm answering the question making the assumption she is a legal adult, and that's all that matters. She may regret it, she may not, who are you to judge? I'm not into the hardcore scene either, but would you have flinched so much if she'd mentioned she had flowers and butterflies? Don't let your prejudices affect your judgement. You've raised 3 children, and yet you're still instilling values like it's important to concentrate on 'boobies and butts'? Oh dear, you've gone wrong somewhere. I am a mother and I would never raise a child of mine with such poor appreciation of what matters in life.
Live and let live.
