I need inspiration for a tattoo?

For a long time now, i wanted to get a tattoo, but I want to get some inspiration first. I know i want to get in on the shoulder blade or on the one side of the hip, so I can cover it up for work situations etc. I don't just one to go to the tattoo store and pick a random picture. I want a tattoo that is special and means something to me although it sounds like a cliche.

Also I don't want a tribal tattoo, but more something feminine and beautiful without being to "girly"... Does that make any sense at all? Any inspiration is welcome...

Update:

Note: i'm a just looking for inspiration and ideas, that doesn't necessarily mean i will do whatever people say. Also, if you are against tattoos don't waste your time telling me about it, since my mind is set.

    To be honest I am not a big fan of tattoos on shoulder blades...(I used to have a tattoo studio in the UK before moving to France). If you want something that won't show for work bare in mind that a strappy top or dress will still show the tattoo. You would be better getting something on your hip or stomach.

    If this is your first tattoo you need to spend a long time deciding what you would like. You want something feminine but not girly so I guess flowers and butterflies are out - why don't you try designing something yourself? or look to the things you enjoy in life the most, I have a full back dragon piece but would also have liked a tree of life - as it was the dragon won because it symbolises strength and protection - I also got the design from a tattooist in Hong Kong as that was where my then fiance was from.

    Your tattoo should be an expression of who you are of a design you totally love - you have to remember that they hurt when they get done and they are with you always. Try something small to begin with - you can always add to it later on - all tattoos can be expanded and that's where your tattoo artist will show his/her skill.

    You could go and talk to them about what you would like - they may design something especially for you, make sure they are registered and used new needles each time and try and see some of their previous work. Good luck

    I am a beauty therapist and have seen many tattoos in my time. The cutest tattoo that I ever saw was on a firewoman. She had a lovely little giraffe going across her thigh. But I have also seen really pretty butterflies on hip bones and ankles. Fairies are also cute.

    I wouldn't get a tattoo if i were you... i would get a fake temporary one but not a real permanent one. If i had to get a tattoo i would get it of a memory of some one or something that died and was close to me. and if you reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly still want a tattoo, chose letters saying something of your choice on your hip.
