Tattoo ?

FreyaWhite

I'm getting a tattoo for my 17th birthday(Yes I do know you have to be 18)
And I have no ideas of what to get at all. The idea of choosing something that has to stay with my through my life is daunting.
Ive googled tattoo designs but nothing good comes up. So any ideas?
Im looking for something artistic. Im a girly girl. Nothing too big. Any ideas?
Also would I be able to design my own and hand it in to the tattoo artist?

Answer
Ask yourself why do you feel that you have to get a tattoo, when you have no idea what you want, and you're not sure how you feel about having one for your whole life. What's your hurry? Someone holding a gun to your head?
Really, it is a good rule of thumb, to not get a tattoo, unless you have an image/idea that you thought of yourself, always related to, or just 'knew' that it was right for you. If you have nothing in your head, please don't just grab something, just to do it. There are a lot of other good ideas for your 17th birthday gift.
If you 'just have to do it' .. well my advise would be to go for a flower. (unless you hate them..) but they age well, there is a huge variety or shape, style, color, and size. They can be placed anywhere and go with anything. When you are old, you will still love your flower.
So, now you think, look, search, (if you really want one). Or wait,.. there is no hurry.

Here are a few tattoo worthy flowers:

Make sure that you find a well established, experienced, licensed artist, and that way you won't be looking for a cover up tattoo, or laser removal within 5 years.
Good luck with your decision.

Need Tattoo design Ideas?

I want a tattoo but I need some idea's... I was wanting a rose I know that much its going to symbolize the fact that I'm a rape survivor... just wondering if anyone has some sort of idea. Also if you have some sort of saying idea to go around or through the tattoo would be nice.

Getting this tattoo is basically my way of saying that I'm tired of being scared what other people will think and that I'm not scared of the people who raped me anymore and that I am ready to stop being silent.

Great tattoo idea! You go girl!

The first thing that came to my mind were the words "Still Standing" or "The past is the past. The future is mine." Imagine that on a ribbon, scroll, or arched over a bright red rose. Kind of like these:
