    thanks so much guys for all the info, as far as placement goes i was think on my back, like left shoulder, my sister got one on her hip like right above her hip bone it's a butterfly and really pretty but personally i think the tattoo will look bad once her body changes, and she's pregnant right now so no idea how disorted it since she's in louisiana. And i'll probably text her fiancee where he got his, all i know is there was a shop in San Diego that he always went too.

    still trying to decide though if i should wait to get a tattoo even though i still want one or just have the parents spend like $2-3 hundred on corals

    oh yea and if i remember there was a question about my pain tollerance. It's not very strong and my skin is super sensitive with everything but i figure if i like and want the tattoo enough a few hours of pain will be worth it :D

    Remember this, it's a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.

    The trick is to get something you think will be cool and in vogue when you hit 50 or 60 Yrs old !: My buddy just spent 5,000 about 8 yrs ago get a cool playboy bunny off of his chest that was cool when he was 20 :)

    I have a dot on my arm from a night in Saigon all the guys thought it would be cool and when I was poked once figured hell no I do not want to wear this all my life and got up .. Choose wisely Grasshopper Like a bad marriage easy and cheap to enter into but to get out you have to dig deep into the pockets .

    upper left shoulder, nice place for it. you said like 2-3 inches? just dont get a full back tattoo of a wizard. saw one guy with that, it was so nicely done but took up his whole back. kinda funny.

And they is not cheap to do ..

    I should have followed my grandads advice and listened to him but I got one, which I now regret. At any rate, if you MUST get a tat get it in black because thats the easiest color to get removed......good luck, hope you don't wake up and hate it one day.
