Q. So, For my Christmas my parents have FINALLY decided to let me go get a tattoo done. I have been wanting a tattoo since I was 14. I know people are thinking "get something something to you" I know that, but I have a lot of tattoo ideas and I like them, but I want something that I'm going to LOVE. I'm into a lot of different kinds of things, ranging from girly things like butterflies to boyish things like Batman. GIVE ME IDEAS?! :D And please NO hateful comments, my parents are amazing parents, and even though they are letting me get a tattoo does NOT make them bad people. They let me express myself. I have been bugging them for about 2 year about getting a tattoo and they were always like "wait until you're 18" Well, they can see how much I want a tattoo. (I even tried to give myself one) Yes, stupid idea. Right? But they see how dedicated I am to modifying and expressing myself into body art. And please don't say how I will look in 60 years. Seriously it's dumb when people say that kind of stuff. You only get one life to live, so why not ink it up?! I honestly do NOT care if you "approve" of my life style, I just need tattoo ideas. :D
Answer
the way I see it as it should be something original and maybe even meaningful to you, not all tattoos have to be meaningful or have some deep underlying feeling but it should be at least something you relate to or like, such as quotes, logos or flowers.
what you can do is go to a tattoo parlour of your choice explain your situation such as age, that your parents will consent (even better go with your parents) and just tell them what you like, maybe even print out pictures and take them, tell them even the faintest ideas you had like size or colour(s) and placement.
Then they can sketch you stuff
I think you'll regret it if you let a random person pick something that will be on your body for the rest of your life.
for inspiration or ideas I like Pinterest for everything from DIY projects to furniture, just search a few things.
even tumblr can show you a variety of stuff
if you're still indecisive I'd say wait it out a little till you're definitely sure what you want.
get a piercing or something else in the meantime, something not 100% permanent.

I need tattoo help..?
Q. I've been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while now and I know what wording I want, which is this http://pinterest.com/pin/15762667417062486/ but I'm not sure where to get it or if I would need to add something to it so that it's not so plain or anything -- any ideas?
I want the phrase "Never let your fears decide your fate"
The phrase means a lot to me and serves as a reminder.
Advice?

Answer
Realize that the letters need to be no smaller than 1/2" tall to hold up well over time and not blur and turn into a blob.
Pick out the font that you would like, make it the approximate size and copy it and tape it to different spots on your body to see how you feel about each and how cloths work or interfere with it.
It's a good quote, and depending on the font and placement for your body type, it could look good.
It could go around an ankle, be on your shoulder blade or thigh, it could be with a flower, or a butterfly or a bird or something that is meaningful to you.

Ask for a fine line needle to keep it delicate.
