Your opinions on tattoo placement?

TheGothicW

I'm trying to figure out where I should get my next tattoo (a Cheshire Cat in black and grey). The ability to cover it isn't much of a concern since I passed that point when I got my forearm tattooed. I'm quite fond of the idea of getting it on my stomach along the curve of my hip bone (Example: http://www.ratemyink.com/images/ul/278/Vines-and-Flowers-tattoo-27869.jpeg). I know many people think "Oh my god don't get tattooed there," so what's your opinion of that placement? I'm 5'9 and 130 lbs, I do A LOT to keep my figure, and having kids is out of the question for me...
I also like the idea of getting it on my ribs (http://www.tattoostime.com/images/234/compass-tattoo-on-rib-side.jpg), or my lower back (http://tattoos-and-art.com/wp-content/gallery/lower-back/side.jpg).

What are some other places that come to mind? What are some possible pros and cons about those placements? Also, I eventually want to get a back piece, so I wouldn't want it on my shoulder or anything.

I know that it's ultimately my decision to make, but hell, maybe you guys could give me some ideas :)

One more question that's somewhat unrelated to the preceding one, what's your opinion of chest tattoos on women? (http://www.tattoo-pics.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/chest-tattoos.jpg) ...not necessarily the tattoo itself, just the placement of it.
Damn, it appears that none of the links I posted are correct -_- sorry about that. I think I explained the hip bone and chest tattoos well enough already
by "on my ribs" I mean on my side, around where my bra strap would be
and by "my lower back" I mean where a "tramp stamp" might be, but higher up and to the side. It wouldn't cover the entire width of my back either.
Sorry about the links :-/

Answer
Tattoos are super cool! But chest tattoos arent right for women. In my opinion. I feel like placing on right above your cleavage is just asking for attention and might draw in the wrong kind of people. And Please do not get it on your lower back or chest. No tramp stamps gurll. I think your hip bone might be a good idea! I think full back pieces are also really cool

Or the cheshire cat going from your stomach to your back. Almost like climbing up you would look super cool

Chandelier tattoos are really cool for backs. I would totally do a cheshire cat hanging from a chandelier on your back that owud look sick!!! Also pick the right tattoo artist. Never try going for the cheapest tattoo when its something that will be on your body for the rest of your life!

any women with stomach tattoos that have given birth?

justina

i am thinking about getting a tattoo above my pubic bone, so it would be JUST covered by my pants.

has anyone had a tattoo there and later had a child? what happened to the tattoo?? i expect there to be some stretching/stretch marks and have no problem with that, but is the design so stretched that you can't tell what it is?

cheers!!

Answer
i have a tattoo on my hip bone too, well, 3 actually, but, i didnt get my last two there until after my son came. but, i have a small tribal rose on my hip bone/lower abdomen, and it didnt stretch at all. i mean, when i was pregnant, i couldnt even see it. friends would tell me its bigger b/c my belly grew bigger, but, after i had my son, it went back to regular size. no stretch marks or anything. and some people say use all this lotion and stuff and you wont get stretch marks.....thats not true. a friend of mine used baby oil, vitamin e lotion, cocoa butter, and all that good junk religiously, and her belly looks like a chinese road map. no tattoos though. when you have tattoos on your belly, and get pregnant, you have a 50/50 chance. i took that chance and came out lucky. some women, not so much. and after you have a child, dont think getting a tattoo over stretch marks will hide them, cuz they wont. it will only make it stand out more. good luck on your decision.
