Will a tattoo draw attention to my stretch marks?

butterfly tattoo with eyes image

Karina Goo

I wanted to get a little butterfly on my hip, near my tummy on the right hand side. The only problem is, I have stretch marks and I'm pretty self conscious about them. I don't know if having this tattoo I really want there will just draw the eye to them.
I'm getting the tattoo for me, not to really show off. Is there any other positioning which would be cute, or am I just overthinking the placement. I want it to be perfect. Tattoos are for life, afterall.

Answer
Well, think about it this way.... will you ever REALLY be showing that area of your body if you're really that self conscious about it? If you're not getting the tattoo to show to people, then get it. But if you want it to be visible, you can get it on your upper shoulder or the side of your neck, or the most visible which is the wrist.

Why are lower back tattoos called tramp stamps?

kesey<3

I think its mean to label a girl because of a lower back tattoo. I mean yes, some are like really low and pretty much on the butt and have a slutty thing like a butterfly or something and get it on purpose to be slutty. But I really want one there but I don't want to be judged and called a whore just because of a tattoo. What are your opinions on this?

Answer
i have never heard of lower back tattoos being called tramp stamps. i think they look nice and i was going to get one my self but i dont wanna be like every1 else. so im going to get one going down my spine and stopping at the lower part of my back. it also depends on the person. slutty people get them there because it attracts the eyes of the opposit sex and usually they look lower than the tattoo itself. if you flant it then yes but if your sensable about it i dont see why you should be stamped with that name!!!

I need some good Shakespeare quotes for a new tattoo?

butterfly tattoo with eyes image

kfortn00

I was thinking about getting a quote for a new tattoo. I absolutely LOVE megan fox's "we will all laugh at gilded butterflies" but I do not want to copy her... Not like I will ever see her but other people who see my tattoo will know. Does anyone know any good ones?? I want something as good as that quote though.

Answer
I played Helena in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and "Love looks not with the mind, but with the eyes..." is a wonderful quote. "Brevity is the soul of wit." is also a good one.

"Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts."

"The course of love never did run smooth." (also from "Midsummer")

"It's not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."

"My bounty is as deep as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite."

"When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew."

"If music be the food of love, play on." (I like this one. :D)

"Love sought is good, but given unsought is better."

Why do so many people say a tattoo on a woman has to be feminine and small to be sexy?

ToolGirl4-

To mean i love sleeve and bigger tattoos on women (small are cute too) but i just love allot of good tattoos on women...Why do you think so many people think it has to be small,and like on the hip ect..??

Answer
Because they are stupid. Personally, I wouldnt even want a "sexy" tattoo anyway- what the hell constitutes for a sexy tattoo?! A butterfly? How the f u c k is a butterfly sexy. I don't know. Who cares about sexy? I love the art in tattoos, and the stories behind them (although i feel aesthetics are a good enough reason to get a tattoo) and personally I cant even imagine what a sexy tattoo looks like lol. I love sleeves too, theres something about them thats just really...well, just great. I wouldnt get sleeves because they wouldn't suit me, but i cant see why a sleeve couldnt be as "sexy" as a small tattoo. Its all in the eye of the beholder. Some people talk utter boll o c ks to be precise, and those people should be ignored. -_-

Looking for a breast cancer ribbon tattoo but I want it unique?

I don't want just the simple pink ribbon. I want something unique and eye catching. I've googled images but haven't seen anything that I haven't seen before. Any suggestions?
My mom is a breast cancer fighter. My sister has one already, with "MOM" in the middle of it, and I don't want to copy her.
I'm not asking for advice on how to spend my money. A tattoo idea or design would be sufficient.

Answer
My husband tattooed a guy whose grandmother past away with cancer, he wanted her favorite flower, which is a hibiscus, and in the middle of the stem is the ribbon is wrapped around it.
Another guy is going to be getting a cross made of railroad spikes and instead of a rope tying them together in the middle he is getting a ribbon wrapped around it.
Ive seen the ribbon used as the body of a butterfly and wings added to it like this http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=breast+cancer+tattoo#/d1i9wa5
This is also really pretty http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://s2.causes.com/photos/EQ/p2/VQ/ng/nI/UO/lt/3iJ.jpg&imgrefurl=http://media.causes.com/592413&usg=__pQseFHpka3ufdYqq6UUtXY9q230=&h=180&w=240&sz=31&hl=en&start=0&sig2=KHRPqGurzKn9QtrJjfqr8g&zoom=1&tbnid=8pxeedML1iCozM:&tbnh=124&tbnw=162&ei=MwrqTJiBMI3CnAfS6JmEDQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dbreast%2Bcaner%2Btattoo%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D956%26bih%3D387%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=459&vpy=97&dur=100&hovh=144&hovw=192&tx=94&ty=71&oei=DQrqTOSKLoG0lQfjr9GrCw&esq=13&page=1&ndsp=10&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0

I am looking for ideas for a lower back tattoo?

butterfly tattoo with eyes image

BK thang

I dont like anything girlie even though i am a girl. All my tats are very manly and tough. But i do want something very sexy on my lower back. I dont like tribal stuff. It have no meaning and it is too simple. I dont like butterflies either and thats what girls mainly get on their lower back. I want something more "animalish". Some leopard stuff, cat paws something. I just dont know what to put together. I have an artist that will draw my idea but i cant get it together. Any suggestions or ideas?
Now mind you I am not trying to scare my man everytime he is behind me if you know what i mean so no i am not looking for anything creapy like skulls, besides its not the manly and tough i was considering. Put it this way what i consider manly and tough happened to be my first tattoo i got while i was already in service and it is desert eagle .50 cal pistol on my shoulder blade. Maybe this helps to give me a little bit different ideas with this kind of tough and manly outlook.....

Answer
Maybe you could do an Angelina Jolie and have a claw mark going accross your lower back, so it looks like you have survived a tiger gauging you. Or perhaps on a cuter note, some cool animal paw prints going in a trail up/accross your back. I personally reckon a sexy jungle animal, like a cougar or lynx, some sort of wild cat would be cool, like maybe you could have cool intense cat eyes or something wicked on your lower back. I'm not sure how exactly my idea would be made but I hope it helps.
