    Default Where should I get my tattoo?

    I'm finally going to get the tattoo I've been wanting for so long, but I still can't decide where to put it. I want a magnolia flower, about the size of a quarter or maybe just a little bigger. I have a long list of reasons why I want a magnolia flower tattoo but anyway I do. So where should I put it?

    Inner wrist is unique/easy to hide place and you'll always see it.

    inner wrist is feminine and discreet

    I voted foot (or ankle, but the tattoo needle over bone ridges & tendons hurts like a mofo, FYI.) How big is it going to be? Many tattooist need the design to be a certain size for them to fit in your desired details. Where are you getting it done?

    Tats are addictive! I have 2 (hidden) & I fight the urge to get more.

    I want it about the size of a quarter or half-dollar. I want something dainty, and fairly discreet.

    I voted for back of your neck. If I were to get a tat I'd get it there, easy to hide, easy to show.

    Damn, Yek, for someone so concerned about having her baby daddy be Jewish, you sure are fast to defy the prohibitions in Leviticus!

    I vote back of neck. Behind the ear would be a cool spot for a flower but I would imagine a lot more difficult and painful.

    I voted back of neck too. You can easily hide it with hair and seems like less customers would ask "why did you get that?". Just so you know anything on the spine hurts alot!

    i checked in with a rabbi (not orthodox) before i got my tat and it's all an old wives' tale abotu a jewish cemetery refusing to bury a tatted one. the derivation is Leviticus 19:28 ("Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor imprint any marks upon you: I am the LORD.")

    but apparently the idea that you cannot be buried in a cemetery is the old wives' tale part. ya, it does say that, but it also says (the line before it, 19:27) "Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard."
    so i guess, unless you are a religious Jew (orthodox) that could be argued to be taken with a grain of salt since some rabbis i know "mar" the corner of their beards.


    oh and i voted inner wrist, but i have my two hidden on my low back and right frontjust below hip and just above my kitty.

    Love it!

    That's the place and reason I voted plus behind the ear is so unique a spot plus really easy to hide IMO.

    Behind the neck.

    Inner wrist isn't as discreet as you'd think it is.



    Because there ain't no tits on the radio

    inner wrists!!! i have two on on of my wrists, and am considering getting a third one.

    they are hot!

    but behind the ear is sexy as fuck too- the only reason i wont vote that, is that you never get to see it youself i love seeing my tats on my wrists remindes my who they are for, and what they mean to me

    Damn, seems about an even split. Argh. I want it to be discreet but not totally hidden, and I definitely want it to look dainty and not tough. I'm mostly leaning towards behind the ear or inside the wrist... what would be the pros and cons of each?

    inner wrist- you can hide it with a cuff if needed, but its always in your line of vision. oh and it does hurt going over those tendon things a bit

    neck- sexy as hell when your hair is pulled back, and easily covered when your hair is down. ive heard it doesnt hurt too. you just never get to see it

    I voted back of the shoulder just because I think it's a beautiful place to get any tat.

    It's pretty discreet unless you wear a lot of tank/halter tops. If you need this to be discreet or hidden for a corporate setting, you wouldn't be wearing those anyway. Whereas the wrist ( or ankle if you wear skirts) is exposed.

    My second choice would be behind the neck. Behind the ear is unique, but I personally think it would be a little distracting.

    Maybe get similar henna type design in each of the locations to try each one out for a few weeks.

    You could get five temporary tattoos made and try it for a week in each place, then decide.

    Well, I'm not worried about corporate stuff as I'm pretty sure I'll never work in that kind of setting ever again. In the entertainment industry everybody has tattoos, piercings, and Manic Panic hair colors so nobody cares. I do want it to be exposed enough where people can see it, I just don't want it to be the first thing people notice.

    I think I've definitely ruled out back of the neck. My hair is really long and I look atrocious with short hair, and even when I put my hair up it would still cover the tat, and besides I would never see it. So there's one I can cross off the list...

    If you want to be able to see it yourself "everyday" then inner wrist. If you aren't so concerned about wanting to see it everyday, want it to be discreet and in a unique spot then behind the ear.

    I know that part isn't true, but it's still supposed to be prohibited. Of course, so's bacon.

    ^^^ Not turkey bacon, which I enjoy every time I can get it!

    I don't think the Leviticus quote you cited is in its proper context here, and I don't think it means tattoos in the modern sense. It refers to body mutilation for the dead, which was a common practice among some Middle Eastern tribes back then. Anyway we've already established that my observance, though sincere, is a bit limited!

    I really like the temporary tattoo idea. I'll try that.
