Guess that really depends on what area you are getting inked.
Point being:Â You better absolutely, positively adore what you're going to put on your body, because if you even have a shred of doubt about the art, you're going to hate it and kick yourself in the ass down the road.
Make sure you are absolutely, positively, 1000% sure you relate somehow, to the art or symbol. It's permanent...well, it can be removed, but the pain and cost of removal is about 10,000 times more extreme. Get referrals and pay for the best artist you can locate.

I personally don't want to get one - don't have the urge to do so.

My lady friend has one, very decent, from the time before I stepped into her life. She hides it mostly, though, for she's professionally in circles where tattoos aren't exactly accepted, and for it's in a place where only VERY close guys can have a peek. It's a small black rose, maybe an inch and some, on the upper third of her left thigh, on the curve to her thigh inside. Very decent - and very beautiful.

That's what I did; a very discreet and classy tatto. I wanted to do it at a transition in my life but work in professional circles. I put a purple/black butterfly on my left cheek....it is very beautiful and only seen by the people I want to see it! Except when I'm 90 years old and being given a bath in my old-person's home. I'll just have to make sure my bath boy looks like Antonio Banderas . Of course, by then the tatoo will probably be the size of a brazilian moth!
Parts of the tatoo tickled, parts I hardly felt, and parts were so painful I was doing the breathing exercises I used when I gave birth to get through it.
Enjoy!

Hi Bruce,
Thanks... the butterfly's wingspan is a little over 1.5 inches and the height is a little over an inch (I am very trim). It is a beautiful purple, outlined and detailed in black. There is a grey shadow on one side giving it an almost 3D effect if viewed from the right angle. I love it!
I have a picture that shows it off nicely, a side shot of me bending over... it is framed so that all you see is me from my rib cage/waist to mid-thigh, bent over 90 degrees, with the tatoo visible on my left cheek. Her name is freedom...
If I can get a .jpg copy from my photographer I have been thinking about putting it up as my profile pic.
Let's see, I'm 33 so Antonio will be 101 when I am 90....I guess I'll have to give HIM baths! You can give me my baths . Preferrably now .
