I'm getting a tattoo for my 17th birthday(Yes I do know you have to be 18)
And I have no ideas of what to get at all. The idea of choosing something that has to stay with my through my life is daunting.
Ive googled tattoo designs but nothing good comes up. So any ideas?
Im looking for something artistic. Im a girly girl. Nothing too big. Any ideas?
Also would I be able to design my own and hand it in to the tattoo artist?
Answer
Ask yourself why do you feel that you have to get a tattoo, when you have no idea what you want, and you're not sure how you feel about having one for your whole life. What's your hurry? Someone holding a gun to your head?
Really, it is a good rule of thumb, to not get a tattoo, unless you have an image/idea that you thought of yourself, always related to, or just 'knew' that it was right for you. If you have nothing in your head, please don't just grab something, just to do it. There are a lot of other good ideas for your 17th birthday gift.
If you 'just have to do it' .. well my advise would be to go for a flower. (unless you hate them..) but they age well, there is a huge variety or shape, style, color, and size. They can be placed anywhere and go with anything. When you are old, you will still love your flower.
So, now you think, look, search, (if you really want one). Or wait,.. there is no hurry.

Make sure that you find a well established, experienced, licensed artist, and that way you won't be looking for a cover up tattoo, or laser removal within 5 years.
Good luck with your decision.

Answer
The link doesn't work - just takes me to the google homepage.
It doesn't really mean anything - just that it's what the girl wanted done, and where she wanted it done. Not all people put a large amount of thought and sentiment into their tattoos, and that will be their burden later in life.
But it's also not anyone's place to speculate what an individual's tattoo means. If they wanted the world to know, they would make it known. I don't tell everyone what my tattoos mean, because a lot of them are deeply personal and carry painful memories. That said, I'm not an idiot who gets guns on my abdomen. I get custom designs - drawn either by myself, my husband, or my tattoo artist - and each little detail, and the placement of the tattoo tie into the sybolism of it.
