I want to get a tattoo on my back, here's the link to the picture of what I had in mind

How much would it cost me?
Note that this is only an inspiration... I definitely won't be copying hers... I just wanted to know the price range of a tattoo that size with about that amount of colour and details...

Answer
Probably a lot.

What kind of tattoo would you get on your back?

Piggie

My sis is taking me to get a tattoo for my birthday but i don't know of what?

Answer
if you don't know what you want


and you're just getting a tattoo to get one.....clearly the case
you shouldn't get anything


you should pick something out well ahead of time....on your own for the most part
the tattoo SHOULD be for you.....
it's your body
why let strangers on the internet have any influence over what you get?


plus, the only answers you'll get on here are generic/over done tattoos like hearts, stars, butterflies, tribal, flowers, or asian symbols

Answer
The first thing I would recommend is a quality tattoo artist (that's not a shot at the one who did the butterfly, just a statement concerning the type of work you want to get done). Every artist has different skills and specialities, so make it a point to talk to him/her for a bit when deciding on what to place over the previous tattoo.

The artist will be able to give you some more specific suggestions, but the main thing you want to do with a cover up is either:
A) lose the old tattoo in the details of the new one. For example, a small tattoo can be 'hidden' in the detail work of an eagle's feathers.
B) mask the old tattoo completely. A lot of people get big tribal pieces to do this...myself included.

Another thing to consider is working with the artist, to find a way to modify the existing tattoo (you could add background, do some detail work, add another piece to change the symbolism/meaning of the piece you have...many different approaches with this mentality).

It was always my experience that you have more choices when trying to modify an existing piece, than you do covering one up. Hope this helps...

Is a Tribal Butterfly Tattoo a good tattoo?

Nikki

I have 2 butterfly tattoos already...a rebel flag butterfly on my shoulder and a simple one on my ankle...is a BIG tribal butterfly on my lower back a good choice or is it dumb?

Answer
"tribal" anything is overdone, meaningless and well...lame.

no one should get tribal unless they are getting true tribal/neo-tribal work which would link them to a real tribe or culture.

also a "tribal" butterfly is the epitome of tramp stamps. i hate the term tramp stamps because not all tattoos should be labeled as such, nor all girls labeled as tramps. BUT, if you ever want to know how that term came to be... ...well see how common tribal butterfly on the lower back is.

What is it with men and lower back tattoos?

meh

I went on a first date with a man this week who (accidentally) saw my lower back tattoo and asked so many questions about it! Now I was just watching Disney Cars and the male car is talking about a pinstripe tattoo on the female.

What's the big deal about that spot?

Answer
i asked my boyfriend about this one.

according to him, the small of a woman's back is very sexy. as far as tattoos there, it's a spot that is already a very sensual spot and a tattoo there is more often obscured. i happen to have a tattoo there (and no, it's not a tribal design or a butterfly or anything else "typical") and it's rarely seen by others. the first time my boyfriend saw it, he also asked me questions galore. he now jokes that it's like x-marks-the-spot; that's exactly where he puts his hand.
