Where should I get my next tattoo?

tattoo designs for girls in ankle image

Q. I already have a tattoo on my left ankle. However, I want another tattoo just not sure where to get it. I am a kinda bigger girl, like around 200lbs.

Answer
Iam an artist and tend to tell peopl that want tattoos to think it over themselves.if you dont have many try and stay with something that cn be covered easily just incase for further jobs and whatnot.If you wanna go big do it,but justthink of the consequences firsthand.Its better to know what design you want first then think about where to put it because that can make or break a tattoo in my opinion.I mean wouldnt really look that great if a person had a tattoo that would look great on the side but they stretch it akwardly to fit it to an arm...maybe you get what im saying so try and choose a good design and the go from there.....and go to a reputable artist because many people do not knnow what a good tattoo looks like....I see people at my plae all the time braggin about this piece of shit someone down the street did,and then they look at myportfolio and almost gag from the detail that theirs lacks....youd be amazed by what todays artist cn dowith the equipment we have now

Is a sleeve tattoo "too much" for your first tattoo?

Q. So, I turn 18 next may and I'm planning on beginning my full sleeve tattoo on my Birthday. I've been wanting a tattoo for several years, especially a full sleeve tattoo; having had the design completely mapped out in my mind for almost a year now. I'm well aware of the cost of a full sleeve tattoo from a reputable artist, having asked around and saving years in advance (literally).

I understand that everyone has a completely different pain tolerance, so asking random people on the internet how I would personally handle it is ridiculous; as I guess I'm the only person who would know. But, I guess I'm just asking general, is a sleeve tattoo "too" much for your first tattoo?

P.S If you're just going post about how I'm going to ruin my future chances of seeking employment, I appreciate your advice; but don't bother. I'm currently studying at University hoping to seek employment within the Gaming industry, in which I've been told they don't discriminate against tattoos (Eldest brother is heavily tattooed and currently working in the gaming industry).

Answer
Go for it!! I'm a 19 year old girl.I have my half sleeve appointment scheduled January 16th. I plan to get both arms sleeved out when i get some more cash.This will be my first tattoo not considering the small zelda triforce I have on my ankle that took literally 5 mins(no shading lol). My dad said arms is the least painful place to get tattooed(but he said the elbow hurts)

And dont listen to anyone that says you wont be able to find a job. A WORD TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT - My dad is 50 years old and has had both his arms sleeved for 30 years and he is a successful logistics manager. He has never had ANY problems getting a job because of his tattoos. Theres a thing called LONG SLEEVE SHIRTS that you wear to interviews. God people piss me off with those comments.

Trying to find a nice tattoo for my girlfriend, her twin, and her sister to get....?

tattoo designs for twin girls image

v0lten

They want something to show they all love each other. Like decorative stars or hearts in the own favorite colors. Any ideas?
They also want it on the back of their necks

Answer
Stars and hearts remind me of a college girl getting her first tattoo...but not really sure what she wants to get. I'm sure there are people that have really great reasons for them...and that's great.

I would think more along the line of...a favorite or meaningful saying that the girls share...could still be on the back of the neck, would be more unique.

Or have something made that has a piece of all three of them in it, the best way to do that would be to talk to the tat artist and have them help to design it.

I have seen some tats for multiple people use the same item, same place and change the coloring on each person...

im getting a tattoo with my twins initials in?

Twins mum

i was thinking maybe some stars i have a boy & girl are there any websites that let you design the tattoo and put in the names thanks

Answer
I don't know of any websites that will allow you to do that... TBH, the idea of an original tattoo would to not have one like anyone else. A website would have 'carbon copy' tattoos. My suggestion would be to call around to local tattoo artists, and give them your ideas on the size, location, colors, initials, and what you want it to look like. They'll draw up something and see if you like it. You can tell them if you want to make changes, and they will alter it. When you are satisfied they will quote you on a price, and tattoo it.

Can Someone help give me ideas for a tattoo?

tattoo ideas for girls writing image

Emily

My dad has always been my best friend, and his birthday is coming up soon, so i was thinking about getting a Daddy's Girl tattoo but i didnt want it to be the traditional looking tattoo. I need some help thinking of an idea. My dad is a welder/mechanic and loves working hard. I could only think of getting a wrench twisted into a heart with Daddy's girl written in script accross it. But does anyone have any better ideas?

Answer
the best thing to do is to go to a tattoo artist ( a good one, someone that you feel totally comfortable with) and tell them what you want and give them a little bit of an idea and they'll fly with it. thats what i did for my tattoo. my grandfather died last year and he was a sailor. i wanted something to remember him by without the name and dates and stuff. i told the guy what i was looking for ,which pretty much was an anchor with a wheel in the middle. it came out exactly what i wanted even though i didnt have a huge detailed idea. also, when getting one dont let them bully you, its on your body and make them make it how you want!

good luck wth your tattoo =)

What's a really cute tattoo idea for girls?

Lo

I want something simple and not too big.
No angels, faeries, animals etc..

Any ideas? Pics? Thank you so much :)

Answer
It's an animal, but I love the idea of a small dove or dragon fly.
Very dainty. I'll look around for pictures.

Words can make very powerful tattoos too. Some can be cheesy though, IMO. Sanskrit is a beautifully written language.


I think it's great to look for suggestions, but make sure that you get exactly what you want. <3 If you see a picture you like, you can take it in an the artist can make a similar yet more unique version of it.

What are discriminations that a woman that has full body tattoos goes thru?

tattoos for girls full body image

**Cookie W

im doing something on stereotyping for a specific group of people and i decided to do it on women that are fully tattooed because i believe some actual live a normalish life. i just want feed back thanks!
not just full body tattoos maybe just plenty of visible tattoos....

Answer
i am a chica with a full back piece that's obviously visible during summer months due to me wearing tank tops, etc... i also have a few small visible tattoos on my arms/hands.

i also am a mother.

i get weird looks all the time, but more so i am surprised at the amount of compliments/questions i get from people who you would never think were interested.

i feel sometimes people may find me intimidating, uneducated, or just a wild child due to my tattoos... add some brightly colored hair to the mix (like i used to have.. hehe) and the scowls are even more frequent. i am, of course, none of the above... just someone who likes "skin art"... as in all walks of life, from the cute un-tattooed girl who drives the escalade, to the fully tattooed dude on a motorcycle, there will always be stereotypes.

How do you feel about tattoos, body piercings, and crap like that?

Q. It is to my fullest understanding that people can do whatever they want to do with their bodies but I hate that crap and I don't give a damn how old fashioned I sound. I like the basic one ear pierced thing but all of this junk like haves and multiple tattoos and toungue piercings is sick. What is the point in getting that stuff since as you get older it looks gross on you. what is the freaking point?

Answer
I agree with you! Its tacky and unattractive. Now one or two piercings on the ears is fine with me, on females, but anymore on a girl is dumb. With guys, none! I refuse to date a guy with any of that stuff. People are destroying there body...

Is a tattoo on the breast considered a tramp stamp?

Shimikiah

I know there are several different positions for a tramp stamp...so my girlfriend's mother has one on her upper left breast...verification please?

Answer
A "tramp stamp" is just a term for the tattoo on the lower back above the pants. The term first came about when all the "bad" girls at the time started getting either butterfly tattoos or tribal design tattoo there on their lower back. On the other hand, tattoos on breasts aren't "tramp stamps" but they are commonly viewed as vulgar or trashy by the public. (not my own personal opinion, just the common view of tattoos, I couldnt care where someone puts their tattoo, its what makes them happy)
Hope this helps.

How lond did it take for you to choose your tattoo?

tattoo designs for girls to draw image

Torey

I'm considering getting a tattoo of a certain character from something and I have the option to get it soon but I've only recently decided on who. But what I want to know is how long did it take for you to choose the tattoo you currently have? Do you regret it? Do you have an recommendations on how to choose a tattoo? I would love to hear stories as to why you chose the tattoo you did.

Answer
Don't choose a tattoo from the rack, always try and design it yourself and then get the tattoo artist to draw it up properly for you....any good tattoo artist can do this, they don't need to use stencils.

My favourite tattoo is something I have on my wrist that I designed, the tattoo artist liked it so much he wanted to do it bigger somewhere else on my body where he could get the size to do it bigger, he then offered to give me a free tattoo on my wrist of anything I wanted. it was special to me and I wanted it on my wrist so I could see it everyday....it took me a month working with him to get the perfect design and I'm glad a didn't just rush into it and get some tribal design...

My next one is going to be a piece, so been working on that for a year now to make sure it's right and find a good tattoo artist as my one moved to Australia. Also because I'm a girl I want to get married before I have this one done so I look nice in my dress (and I promised my mum I would wait)

What kind of tattoo can I get for my daughter?

MrClutch85

I am getting a tattoo on Saturday and I wanted to get something for my lil girl. I don't wanna get her face or anything, just something simple but meaningful.

Answer
You could get something that reminds you of her? Depending on her age you could get her favorite flower as a tattoo with her initials/name? Or her handprints either current or from when she was a baby. If you do the handprints you could form them like a heart kinda like:

http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/handprint_heart.jpg
or
http://www.crafts-for-all-seasons.com/image-files/11.finished.big.heart.jpg

Or any of these type designs:

Another idea is lyrics to a song that is meaningful and reminds you of her?

Her favorite nursery rhyme lyrics illustrated.

Or even a well drawn stick figure family with you and your daughter and possibly your partner?

Hope this helped!

What are some ideas of goods/services to sell for a small business at my school?

tattoos ideas for girls pictures image

Melissa

What are some ideas of goods/services to sell for a small business at my school?
This is for a project in economics class. We have to come up with a business and it can't be selling food. By the way, it's an all-girls school and in past years there has been jewelry, picture frames, flip-flops, t-shirts...

Answer
Maybe I can help you. I own a company myself, but I have a friend that owns a sun glass Kiosk at a mall that makes a killing. First, figure out your target market. In your case, its an all girls school between the ages of 15-19. Then have a brainstorming session where you find out what type of products attract girls at this age groups. Maybe it can be jewelry, sunglasses, makeup, purses, underwear, nail polish, toe rings, ear rings, stick on tattoos, etc. You have to have niche. Pick your top two products. The products have to be something that has a price point that can sell. Maybe $5-$10 because high school girls dont have alot of disposable income. Your product has to be an impulse buy, where girls dont really think about buying, they just have to have it. Once you figure out the product you want to sell, do a survey around school to see if there is a market for it. This is called supply and demand. Go to the mall and look at all the kiosk carts that sells cheap impulse products. Look for something that is "hot", easy to sell and sought after. Goodluck

Deandra

I have been wanting a tattoo similar to Sahar from the Real World New Orelans and Elina from ANTM cycle 11. I think it looks delicate and feminine, but I don't know if it will always look good. What do you think?

Answer
I think their tattoos are really good and they will always look good. But I would like to recommend you some other tattoo designs because tattoo designs must be unique, you don't need to copy their tattoo. If you are looking for some feminine & delicate tattoo designs then in my view butterfly and fairy look good on arms. Let's see on this girl having a wonderful tattoos of butterfly on her arm. we think Both women and butterflies have wonderful, curvy forms. They both have delicate, soft texture and are very pleasing to the eye. Tattoo of butterflies can be any size is also important.

How do tattoos look on freckled skin?

Snazdazzle

I really want to get a tattoo done on my shoulder, the only problem is that my shoulders are very freckled. I was wondering if tattoos look weird on freckled skin?

Answer
I know a red haired girl who has very pale, freckled skin all over. She has one of her arms covered in tribal tattoo art. To be honest MY OWN OPINION is that black ink looks a bit strange against freckled skin and ruins the effect of tha tat. But I think it might be OK on your shoulder and just a single design, it will probably just cover up the freckles in that area un like the person I know who has them like 'between' the design as its swirly and what not. If that makes sense. Go for it if thats what you want. :)

How bad does a collarbone/chest tattoo hurt for girl?

Haley

I am getting two crows on my chest under each collarbone, so it will not be in the center of my chest. I don't have a particularly bony chest, like you can't see my sternum, and I am not muscular at all. Also I have two tattoos already that I did myself with a sewing needle and India ink, on my wrist and ankle. It hurt obvs but it was definitely bearable. Should I be expecting incredible pain or tolerable pain?

Answer
Actually it won't really hurt very mch at all. I have a 4 tattoos one on my upper middle back, one on the top of my foot 1 on the wrist and one of in the left side of my chest underneath my collarbone. Any goof tattoo artist won't do a tattoo directly on your collarbone bc when u move the skin stretches and it distorts the tattoo but right below it is just skin with
No bone so for me it personally didn't really hurt.

What are some cute tattoos and peircings for girls?

tattoo ideas for girly girls image

Jessica

I want tattoos designs or ideas please. Or links. I want ones that not many people have and the same with peircings. Or just cute piercings.
I like girly things and my favorite color is pink

Answer
Getting a tattoo idea from a link well is going to be hard to say that not a lot of people have got it. Chances are if there is a link for it someone has replicated it or modified to be more original or either the artist did it verbatim as the design that exists on a public platform such as the web. I'd suggest that you go to a professional, clean, sterile, and reputable shop and take a look at the artist's portfolios and maybe sit down and talk with them and get them to draw you up something nice and original that is for you. You could be more detailed in what you like and it would been easier to help you. Giving the things that you like help a lot more than being so broad about you liking girly things and that depends on the persons individual concept of what is girl and what isn't. It could differ from person to person. But I think you would be pleased to go to a shop and get someone to talk with you and draw you something up cute that you love and that expresses what you want it to.

Good Luck with your Endeavors

What are some good creative tattoo ideas?

tattoos for kids ideas image

emily

I really want to get a tattoo but i don't know what to get. I want something creative (not too common but also not too crazy) It also can't be too big. I really like Angelina Jolie's tattoo on her back and arm I think its really original. I would have never thought of it, so something like that would be great. obviously not the same thing that she has tho! btw i'm a 20 year old female.

Answer
Haha, I'm sorry. xD I'm totally not answering your question in full but I've seen that kid with the Brian in the banana suit like everywhere on y!a tonight and that's just awesome. :) made my laugh every time. Haha.

You could get like a lotus flower or a cherry blossom or something. :) They're really, really pretty. They're common but not as common as you'd see someone with say, nautical stars or stars or something like that. They have excellent meaning behind them, too. The meaning behind a lotus could mean one of two things. The first that, a lotus, as beautiful as it is, grows from literally the muck and mud but blossoms into this incredible looking flower, symbolizing no matter how hard or ugly life gets, you can make it through. :) Or it could represent birth and beauty.

The cherry blossom represents in the Chinese culture, power and strength, usually female strength or it could be a symbol of love. In the Japanese culture, it can mean the transcience of life.

Or you could get your Zodiac sign. :] Or a memorial tattoo in memory of someone in your life has passed away.

Hope I helped. <3

How much does a traditional pin up girl tattoo cost?

bass masta

I am getting ready to get my first tattoo and I have always wanted a traditional style pin up girl like a nurse or a mermaid. I'd prefer to get it on my side or calf. It's going to be 7- 7 1/2 in. In color. Which location do you think would hurt more?

Cheers,

Sam

Answer
Loaded question. Most artists charge around $150/hr, but will normally quote you on a piece. I've got two tattoos that cost me $150 and took 4-5 hrs (including breaks, etc.) and one that cost $350 (and took about the same amount of time). All depends on the artist and what you want to do. Straight American Traditional, no shading....who knows, but probably would take 2-3 hours tattoo time, depending on the design.

Also, it makes a difference whether you're looking at doing something like this - http://lucky7tattoo.net/uploads/Russell-Fortier-mermaid-pin-up.jpg

Or something like this - http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZF1SIj_6VL4Fe5rs7FpMbYc3s17nnxX_2YBnfH2xIuE6kV9p-eAntf5xosiQSIqg8BFgU18ZfCQCgKRr82nhL_u8xR07QNRUtn2wYnEldyasBAFOpUSsSGxJ4mVNu4os4kN1isliS3sM/s400/old+school+tattoo+pin+up+girl.jpg&imgrefurl=http://tattooblogger.blogspot.com/2008/06/preaty-pin-up.html&usg=__XCtdj46SRWODD0DB8T4LskhjcFA=&h=400&w=299&sz=23&hl=en&start=12&tbnid=DxAkZq8IayjuVM:&tbnh=124&tbnw=93&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dtattoo%2Bpinup%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1B3GGGL_enUS309US309%26sa%3DG

Shading and detail take a long time and a good artist, but not every artist can do a good American traditional tattoo like the mermaid. Find out what artist(s) specialize in what techniques in your area.

Ribs reputedly hurt a bit more than other areas, but I will say my calf burned like white hot coals as opposed to my shoulder/bicep area. Calves are far from you heart, so much more difficult in healing.

(Edited)...
OMG....have to disagree with the guy below me. I LOVE pinup art. If you have it, women who like it will like you and let me tell you, a lot of hot girls LIKE pinups (and girls). Women are pretty. Why not? Especially if it's "tasteful" (ie ...no boobies without shells or a bikini top, okay???)

So, the question is, how to make it LOOK better? I was thinking getting some sort of design around the tattoo so it doesn't look so much like a prison tattoo or like I wrote on my own arm with a sharpie. I don't want girly girl crap like hearts and unicorns, but I was thinking of putting a green thorny rosevine through the name and having roses drawn around it or something.

Any ideas?

Answer
Well first off I would say is there a way to improve what was done? If its spaced enough could you have a GOOD artist (one you research this time) possibly enlarge the lines and clean them up where its needed?

As far as additional work the rose vine is a very good idea. It's a little cliché to be sure but it will definitely hide imperfections. You can also try barbwire. If your very into electronics you could even do something a little more original and use RCA wires or speaker wire.

What is the best way to design your own tattoo?

Is there a certain photoshop that I can get a free trial of to help me design tattoos?
Or does anyone have any ideas for a sleeve? I already have a Sailor Jerry anchor on my left forearm. I am getting a gypsy girl on my upper left arm this weekend. I want to stick with old school designs. Let me know if you have any tips, ideas, or anything! It could all help and be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer
None that I'm aware of. It all comes out of your artist's brain and onto paper.
Either draw it out roughly or find some similar ideas on line. Let your artist know what style you want and see what they come up with. If you don't like what they drew up they can always change it for you.

I want to get a tattoo, but through all my research on designs I realized I dont have a clue as to how much these things cost. I dont know if its $50 or $1000 I know I want to get a top of the line one form a really good artist so how much should I expect to pay??


Type of tattoo I want:

Classic 1940's style pin up girl on my arm. With good color.

Answer
I live in Los Angeles and have several tattoos. My experience is that tattoos work out to about $100 per hour. Your design sounds like it would take about an hour. Don't forget to factor in a tip if you really like the artist.

What do you think of when you see a girl in a strapless dress but has a small tattoo beneath her collar bone?

i'm thinking of getting one at that spot. it's easy to cover up since i don't normally wear low cut shirts but i know for formal functions it'll show when i'm wearing a strapless dress. so i'm just wondering what you guys think of when you see a girl with a collar bone tattoo

it's just a six word quote beneath my left collarbone

Answer
It's your body so do what you want to do with it. You will have some men who like it and some who don't. I have no problem with it unless its something ignorant or offensive. Remember tattoos are permanent and it will be a part of you the rest of your life. Good Luck and ink away :)

What are good ideas for tattoo patterns for a grandpa that are fast and simple?

Answer
I've seen some really cute tattoos before of people getting things tattooed in their parents'/grandparents' handwriting.

One tattoo I remember was this girl who had gotten 'Love, Mum' and 'Love, Dad' tattooed under her two collarbones in her mum and dad's hand writing. Super cute, personal, fast and simple.

Also, I've seen another girl with 'XOXO' tattooed in her grandmother's handwriting. Again, fast and simple but still super cute right (:

Good luck ! Hope I helped.
