Tattoo questions?

Cassie

So I want to get a tattoo of this design http://bandobsessedhufflepuff.tumblr.com/post/88489705643 and I have a few questions about it. I'd really appreciate a tattoo artist or someone who has multiple tattoos to help me since I have no experience in this.
First of all, I'm not entirely sure where I want to get it. I'm a girl and I'm pretty sure that plays a factor in where it hurts the most/least. I was thinking about just to the right of my belly button. I was also wondering if the size I'm thinking would be good. I want to get it about the size of a fist and I want to know if that's too big or too small for the design. Thirdly I want to know about how much it would cost to get this tattoo. I really appreciate anyone's insight on this :)

Answer
I have a tattoo sleeve. Paid about $4k for it.

I'll just be honest. That tattoo on your belly button would look ridiculous. In my OPINION, a good place for girls would be on your obliques, rib cage, or upper back.

As for the tattoo, I would recommend something more original with meaning to it. That looks like some tattoo you just found off the internet that you think is cool. I got a tattoo just because it looked cool, but I kind of regret it.

If I were you, I would incorporate your favorite memory into a tattoo, and go to a quality tattoo shop and have them design it for you. So it's original and meaningful to you.

Sleeve Ideas....?

Eternal

I was thinking about getting a sleeve when I turn 18. I had an idea of it being a music based sleeve. Like on the upper part of my arm put a microphone like what M.Shadows has. A flaming guitar pick somewhere. Music notes. Maybe a flying V guitar. I haven't really put a lot of thought into it because I have 3 more years till I turn 18. Also I wanna know if a sleeve would look good on a girl?
thanks 4eyed zombie...i've seen girls with really kickass sleeves

Answer
Sleeves on girls are awesome. I'm planning mine now and can't wait to get it done. But the important thing is that you like how the sleeves look and you need to make sure its something you want.

I think you should take all of the ideas and images you have thought about to a tattoo artist when you are ready to get the tattoo. He or she should be able to help you draw up a custom sleeve design and I'm sure it'll be something you love.

Since you are young and you have time to think about it, you can make sure this really is what you want. Good luck.

Why do you want or why did you get tattoos?

Why did you get your tattoos? Or why do you want tattoos?

A guy on here asked where he should get a quote tattood on him, and girls kept responding with which places would be "hot" and what tattoos would be "sexier". I was taken back, people really get tattoos purely because it looks hot? Everyone I knew with them had deeper reasons behind their ink, I have a meaning behind every one of mine. So I was just curious, what are some reasons you or other people you know get ink?

Answer
A lot of people get tattoos because they have deep meaning to them, but I don't think that's necessarily a requirement. I have about thirty hours worth of tattoos on my body thus far: some of them I got with deep consideration (a portrait of my grandmother, a bolex camera & quote representing my cousin's and my shared love of the musical RENT) and others I got within 15 minutes of looking at a design (many, many Friday the 13th flash days that included matching pink elephants and Twin Peaks tattoos).
I don't get tattooed because they're deeply meaningful, though some of them are. I get tattooed because I find them aesthetically pleasing and because I like having a visual "map" of my life. To me, tattoos tell a story of where I was at a given moment. Sometimes the meanings changed over time or the tattoos ended up growing into their meaning (I got a blue dragonfly tattoo while in eating disorder treatment only to learn that blue dragonfly was a pro-anorexia message board...whoops), but it's more about, "That pink elephant was the tattoo I got with my roommate on the Friday the 13th that I graduated from college, and the line was so long that I showed up late to my own graduation ceremony" than "Cherry blossoms represent spiritual beauty and I'm coming into my own spiritual awakening" kind of thing for me (though I have a few of those tattoos, too).
Some people get tattoos because they think they look hot. Fun fact: they some times do. When you're old, they'll probably look less hot because most of us look less hot when we're old, but even then those people can look at their tattoo and go, "Remember when I got this tattoo because I thought it looked hella sexy? I sure was hella sexy." I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Same goes for people who get tattooed because it's a right of passage or because they're 'really into Batman, man.' (Though I beg anyone who gets a tattoo to go to a good artist and get a good tattoo, regardless of what it is.) We're all going to have to live with our tattoos--be they silly tattoos we just got for kicks or ones we thought would mean the same thing forever. A lot of times even the deeply meaningful ones don't mean the same thing to us ten years down the line, so the key is getting something you won't mind looking at for the rest of your life and being okay with whatever memory comes attached.

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

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...
