Tattoo Ideas, 10 points best answer.?

Whew! Well, here's the scoop!

You are only 16, and this is a time when you must be careful when and if you get inked this young.

That is because you are not finished growing physically or mentally. This means that your tattoo image or words have a high probability of stretching and distorting in the next few years, and you may then need to have a new tattoo cover up image when you are an adult. Also, mentally, you brain is not matured yet (this is factual, not an opinion or an individual thing), and this means that your judgment and choices will not have the depth of understanding that you will have in a few years.

Soooo, what to do? Take your time, and if in doubt, you wait until there is no doubt for at least 6 months.

Now, as to your tattoo image ideas... 1st I recommend reading this article on how to get a tattoo without regret:

Make sure it is not trendy, and never pick something as a statement to others. Make it personal, and meaningful to you, and something that will hold up for your whole life, not for just now and the people you are around and/or the situation(s) that you are in right now.

And, you should know about tattoos - here's 'how stuff works' about tattoos:

You should also be aware of the differences between quality work and poor tattooing and poor artwork. You need to find the best tattooist that you can find, and pay what it costs - do not bargain hunt, but instead, save up to get the best possible.

You also need to be aware of current aftercare methods, here is a link to an incredible tattoo artist Pat Fish:

You need great references to take to your tattoo artist, so that he/she can draw up a great custom tattoo image for you.

The good news is that you seem intelligent, thorough, and thoughtful. You have a good foundation for your image ideas too.

I feel from what you listed that you need a strong image. It needs to be creative and unique and suited to your personality. You can use your artwork or artwork that you love.

As far as placement, if you get something now, it should not be on your belly, but maybe your shoulder blade(s) or upper back, to account for growth.

I would like to do some image searching for you, from your ideas, but do not have the time at the moment. You can email me through here, just click on my avatar, then I will get back to you to help you out.

Im getting the song lyrics "Spiral Out, Keep Going" on my arm. Helps me get through tough times. To me it means even when you spiralled out of control you can regain yourself and continue on.
