Tattoo

[sphsjags]

I'm thinking of getting a fish and/or cross tattoo.
I want opinions of if and where I should get it, and other suggestions for tattoos. If anything, it'll be small in size.

A cross made out of fish.

But seriously, you shouldn't get a tatto unless you have your heart set on a design. It's kind of permenant and expenive or painful to remove.

I want opinions of if and where I should get it,

Upper arm. Other locations are for chicks and people who have multiple tats or a really big one.

hrmmm... you could get it on the back of your shoulder or on your calf as well.

No, he's not a chick.

Dudes get tattoos on the upper arm, unless it's not his first or is huge.

I don't think it matters where he gets the tattoo, it's his choice.

Nothing wrong with a man who gets a tattoo else where in my book... Doesn't really take away from his manliness.

I suggest getting the tattoo artist to draw it on the location that you want it, and deal with it for a week. If you don't like it you can wash it off and try a different spot or design.

I think they should be in places that you could easily cover up.

My husband worked with a guy who loved tattoos and was covered in them but he always made sure that he could wear a shirt and not have them showing. This was important because a lot of pubs/nightclubs where he lived has rules saying no tattoos on show.

I have one on my back, I know many Marines who have tattoos on their backs, thighs, etc. A forearm or shoulder is fine. But it's been done so many times it just becomes really old. Also they should be coverable, just because not all people are exceptionally fond of them.

I have one on my spine between my shoulder blades. it's completely private, which is nice.

i think you should wait to get one until you're 110% in love with a design. let it come to you. look at art, nature, etc... see what unique ideas come out. don't borrow someone else's tattoo design just because you can't think of one on your own or don't look long enough
i'm just sick of generic copytats, that's all.

I think tattoo's look good on the upper arm. But I like them on the lower inner arm too. I will never probably get a Tat but I do like to admire other people's.
