tattoo design for girls ribs image

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.

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???)

Where would be the best place to put a classy tattoo?

I've always loved tattoos and am considering my very first one now that I'm eighteen. However, my only problem is I'm not too sure where I'd like to have it. It's going to be my family's crest and I would like to have it inked somewhere that would be respectful A.K.A. not a tramp stamp. So I was wondering if anyone that has any tattoos could give me some suggestions?
Answer
Being that you are girl in my opinion its not only where you put it but how you shape it to your body. Also, you may need to worry about it not being seen by employers. Generally, rib cage, lower back to the side, mid-back could be difficult to be seen unless in bathing suit. Then it could be tasteful on you upper back or ankle. Usually putting it in the middle of lower back, upper leg, lower stomach, etc could be considered trashy. Also take into consideration the natural curves your body has. Some tattoos even look better when you match them to the natural beauty your body already has. My personal favorite it the upper rib cage with its intense curves. I would just do a lot of research, get a good design, and find a good artist then it really doesn't matter..good luck!
