butterfly or dolphin? rose over heart or rose with thorns? what tattoos look better?

Question

i know i just asked a tattoo question, and some think its 'slutty' but thats your choice. i just want one, MAYBE 2, but either way i want them so i can cover them or hide them later if i had to... like lower back.... or in the front, right above/along underwear line
i either want butterfly with design in the back, or just small butterfly in front, or dolphn in front.... and i have a really awsome drawing that i drew of a rose that kinda goes through a heart... idk its hard to explain, id show you if i could, but idk how..... but it would look good in the back..... idk but what would look better?

and dont say dont get one or think bout it mor because you know theyr permanent or w/e i know... and ive been thinking bout it for awhile now, and i probably wouldnt get it for at least a year or 2. but either way im probably gonna get one
not like i want in on my arms or face, or somewhere i couldnt hide on a wedding day, or special day like that....

DO YOU PEOPLE NOT LISTEN... I KNOW ITS PERMANENT
AND IM 16, WHICH IS WHY I SAID I HAVE A FEW YEARS, AND YEA, IVE ALREADY BEEN THINKING BOUT THIS FOR AWHILE

i didnt ask you to tell me to think bout i asked you to tell me what you think would look better, and if you cant do that, dont say anything


one reason i want a tattoo is cause they are personal. and i will probably end up getting one that i drew, and haven them do it, which makes it even more personal, im my own person, so just dont tell me to think bout it more....

just please tell me what you think would look better

Answer 1

Tattoos are so personal. I'd never get a butterfly or a dolphin, but that's me. I have a lily and will be getting a celtic knot in a few weeks when I can go to my tattooist (neither of which are everyone's cup of tea).
The best advice anyone who loves tattoos should give you is this: Find a good, reputable, clean tattoo shop. Talk to the person who will be giving you your tattoo. S/he can draw you a design that incorporates the elements that you want (or simply adapt the design you drew) and give you options. They can then make a template that is sort of a temporary tattoo to show you how it will look where you've decided to get it. If you don't like it you can change it. A reputable tattooist doesn't want you to be unhappy, and should be willing to work with you on a tattoo (it's their art!). If they aren't willing to help, or are condescending or make you uncomfortable, go someplace else.
You're putting art on your body for life (or until you choose to pay a bunch on money to have it removed) and you should love it!

Answer 2

Well, to answer your question honestly, I first have to say that I don't like any of those, bc they're all trite. All 3. If you want it to be personal, I think you should make it something that is more unique to you and that either applies to this time in your life specifically or that will always apply to you. The only way I personally would like any of those would be if they represented you, someone you know, or something in your life (like the dolphin could be your playfulness, your best friend, or the fact that you're a swimmer; the butterfly could be that you can't be captured, or your need to fly away; the rose's thorns over your heart are what guard it from hurt. Etc.

Second, it would be helpful of you to scan the drawings into your computer and then post online and give us a link.

Sorry, I know that's not the answer you were looking for, but it was the only honest one I could give.

Answer 3

those are all cliqued ideas of what a tattoo should be like. i PROMISE you will regret a dolphin, even if you're a girly girl, a dolphin tattoo is too sissy for words. get something that looks good but means something. for eg, if for some reason, you ARE nutty about dolphins, then maybe you should get one. it's all about what matters to you and not following the stereotypical images that you see on other bods.

Answer 4

My goodness.



Please do not get a tattoo of anything you have mentioned above.

Because after you do, you'll realize that about a billion people have the same tattoo as you.






Come up with something more original, something that means something to you.


If I would have gotten tattoos of everything I wanted when I was 16, I would be kicking my own *** right now.

Answer 5

I would wait at least 14 years. You change your perspectives a lot in your twenties. I considered getting a tattoo about 50 times in my twenties (and 50 times not getting a tattoo) before settling down with a more solid view of myself at 30, realizing that I was glad that I never got one.

If you can't wait, then make it something watery: dolphins, fish, moray eels, that sort of thing.

Answer 6

ok do what ever you want hunn, it's your body and you make it how you want. i like the idea of a dolphin cos thats my absolute fav. animal and im most likely gonna get a dolphin tattoo and it will most likely be my TRAMP STAMP as many call it (when you get a tattoo on your lower back)... i also like the rose with the thorns... the rose and heart one sounds very very cute... make your tat something you will like in the long run.... GOOD LUCK...
you wont be slutty at all with a tat if your get it in an usual spot for most people. i have a good friend who is getting PHAT writtin along her ***... get it?? phat as in cool but it'll be sayin phat *** as in fat ***!!! hard to explain so i'll top... GOOD LUCK ON CHOOSING YOUR TATTOO CHICA...

Answer 7

I am not saying that you will lokk slutty with a tattoo, because I am sure you won't, but please think about the long term , some day you are going to want them removed, and the only way to get them off is to have your skin burned with acid or a laser, so which would be better, perfect skin that you will be happy with 40 yrs down the road, or a tattoo, that you will like for a few years then want to get rid of it, and have an ugly burn mark.

Seriously, go with fake tattoo's they last for days, aren't permenant, and look just as good as the real ones.

Answer 8

How about a Rose with thorns on your back just above the under ware line
its a really good tatoo

Answer 9

I think a rose over a heart sounds very unique and pretty, I've seen a lot of heart tatoos but not one like that.

Answer 10

i won't get a tattoo. they ruin your skin and posin your bloodstream because you are just injection your bloodstream with ink. when you are older do you think you would still like that tattoo? at age 80 would you likie it? tattoo's look trach, many guys and girls find them as a big turn off. just think about that and i truly hope you make the best desision.

{butterfly and or rose over heart}

tattoo's don't look slutty, just messy.
