Resolved Question

Need some ideas for a tattoo?

Hi I'm 22 and thinking of getting a tattoo either just above my ankle or on my back/shoulder. I want something quite small, I was thinking maybe a sea shell or some of my favourite beatles lyrics. Or a small lion head.

Does anyone have any original ideas? I like to think I'm quite quirky, I don't want something that lots of people have like a star or a chinese symbol. I really like music and literature. I also like nature.

Any other kind of discreet places I could get it? Suggestions welcome! Thanks!

PS how much does it hurt? like really really badly?

I am also really into music and literature.... and The Beatles! I would get a tattoo of some lyrics. If you did, maybe have them go along the curve of your shoulder. For me, I would probably go with lyrics from Blackbird. Just choose your favorite song and find some meaningful lyrics.

• heya, well first of all you could do what you say like get a seashell that would be really cute and nice or get the lion head or get the beatles lyrics across you shoulder, pick it yourself so it means something to you either from your favourite song by them or just a nice meaning in the song.
  
  You could get a music note or a big music note and two other small ones around it. since you like nature maybe a nice flower or a leaf and even if you want get a leaf and put music notes around it.or if there were any of the beatles sond lyrics to do with nature you could incorperate the picture in to the lyrics.a bird like a dove or something. is there any type of bird that has a personal meaning to you? a paw print maybe?
• how about your star sign symbol? or maybe a small butterfly. i think both them ideas are really nice.
  or even a small cherry blossom, and if your getting a writing tattoo shakesphere quotes are very cool and orginal.
  
  ankle is a good place. if you are gettin a writting tattoo how about up your side like from your waist up to your ribcage? even you could get it below your belly button but over to the side? like at the side of your pelvic bone.
  
  a few of my friends get it and they said the pain was really sore like a hot needle sticking in and out of you. its not going to be unsore so it will definatly be painful but worth it.

• Look on http://www.bmezine.com/tattoo/bme-tatt.h… for ideas.
  Most of the suggestions made so far are popular subjects which means a lot of people will have them.
  Probably the easiest way to describe having a tattoo is that it feels like a hard, irritating, prolonged scratch. And after it's like sunburn for a couple of days.
• If your not sure give youself time to think of somthing that reflects your personality. Don't get anything u will regret. I'm looking for a tat myself and soo eager to one asap!! Still holding off till I'm sure I'm getting the right 1. Just read kat von d high voltage. Her quote was ask anyone with a body suit n they will tell u the *** is the sorest tat! Full of nerves!!
• you could always get a musical note[:
  I heard it wasn't as bad as getting a cut. lol.
  Just a bit of stinging[:
