I tend to lean towards the abstract/tribal versions...

I'd get numero uno preferrably, but that's my choice.

I wouldn't reccomed getting it on your wrist/neck/any other place you can't easily cover up, simply because alot of jobs won't hire you if you have tattoos that are visible.

I've got 2 on my back.. well, one on my left shoulder blade and one on my right shoulder blade - both easily hidden with a shirt.

And I designed the first one I got.

Why'd you get the tattoos in the first place? They will be hard to remove when you become older, and will be a nuisance. Kinda like plastic surgery for women.

i havent even gotten one yet and yeah i'd probably want it removed if it was something stupid, i'll never put someone else's name on my body, er significant other that is, but if its something normal, like a phoenix, that's not THAT regrettable, unless the artist totally eff's it up. and i'm definitely not getting a tattoo anywhere that will stretch because of babies or something.

Because I'm addicted to drugs, if I ever don't want them, they won't really bother me being I can't see them very easily. I also got them in a place that won't affect my work.

yeah basically i have to pick somewhere that won't be a problem at work or future places, but you can always just cover up with a bandaid or something lol, thats what they made people do for piercings at my old jobs.

Better have a big bandaid if it's a decent sized tattoo.

Or you could just not get a tattoo

lol why are you so against tattoos wallow? and depending on how much money i have, it probably won't be that big. the bigger, the more expensive, obviously. i may not even get color, at least not right away. i'll probably have to wait until i'm living on my own, i'll have more money then, even though i'll be alone lol, sounds kind of ironic.

Have Kazilla whore himself out. I'll be damned if I'd be sitting at home letting a woman work for me, but that's a pride issue.

Did you know that if you have a large fresh tattoo (still in the healing process) on your lower back, you won't be able to get an epidural during labor?

umm no but should pregnant women get tattoos while they're pregnant? lol.. i mean, what constitutes 'fresh' for a tattoo? like the past year? anyways, i won't get a tramp stamp >.<

Go for the second pheonix tattoo of the list you posted earlier and put it on your ankle. You said you wear pants to work, so you won't have a problem. And you just wear capris or shorts when you want to display it. There, problem solved

Some over-weight women who have periods that skip months on a regular basis don't realize they're pregnant until the second trimester. It happened to my mother. If said woman happens to be pregnant without knowing it and get's a large tattoo on her lower back, she wouldn't be able to get an epidural during labor to help with the pain.

You already said that

ohh.. i didn't realize that lol, my bad. the ankle is a good place for a tattoo, but i'd have to get it really small or else the actual size of it would make it go halfway up my calf or something, and i need to get more money to do it still, so the size will depend on that.

How wouldn't you know? Your mom must have some fucked up ovaries or some shit.

no... sometimes you just don't know that you're pregnant, if you're used to having abnormal periods, like skipping one every 2 months and then having one again, then skipping again wouldn't seem weird to you. also if you're overweight, you probably already have a little bit more cushion in the stomach area, so you couldn't tell that your stomach is getting bigger for a while.
