tattoo question....

i don't post here all that often, but ive seen a few threads about tattoos, so i thought i could get some feedback... i currently have one tattoo (a butterfly on my lower back) that i got when i was 17. I want to get a shooting nautical star but i can't figure out where i should put it. I dont want it to be visible all the time, but id like to see it more than i see my butterfly. I was thinking on the top of my foot closer to the ankle, any other suggestions on placement? im also looking for some pictures for refernce... thanks ladies :)

Re: tattoo question....

As far as placement I am a fan of the top of the foot but keep in mind that the "recovery" for foot is different. If you get it in the summmer you cannot let it get tan or else the colours might get screwy, and if you wear shoes that cover it you might have "rubbing" issues where the tongue of the shoe is. Ankle is OK but harder to cover if you want to, especially in formal wear/heels.

As far as drawings, google image is a great place to start & then take your ideas to the artist that you will use & let them put their own spin on it for the best work (IMO). Most artists are happier to personalize a design from an idea rather than "copy" a tattoo.

very helpful... thank you :)

Re: tattoo question....

I have one on the inside of the heel/ankle part of my foot.

Re: tattoo question....

I am really liking the inside of wrist lately but haven't totally committed to it yet

Re: tattoo question....

i too am a fan of the wrist, but you may want a more discreet place.

hmmm good luck with your decision
