Not saying anything by this, and I don't really agree with this and I don't have a religion view, but my Grandmother is Christian and I have always listened to her views on everything, and I guess that in the Bible it says not to have "any marks upon your flesh", which includes carving, piercing, and tatooing. But again, I don't know your views on this either, and I dont have one.
Now that I'm done with that, I've never read the Bible, but I was given a study bible and if you have one like mine it might have a section in the back with a table of verses and where. For example: Ispirational, pages _, _, _, etc. Maybe try that or google a type of verses you're looking for, like inspirational?

Question: "What does the Bible say about tattoos / body piercings?"
Answer: The Old Testament law commanded the Israelites, “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:28). So, even though believers today are not under the Old Testament law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:15), the fact that there was a command against tattoos should cause us to question. The New Testament does not say anything about whether a believer should or should not get a tattoo.
In relation to tattoos and body piercings, a good test is to determine whether we can honestly, in good conscience, ask God to bless and use the particular activity for His own good purposes. "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31). The Bible does not command against tattoos or body piercings, but it also does not give us any reason to believe God would have us get tattoos or body piercings.
Another issue to consider is modesty. The Bible instructs us to dress modestly (1 Timothy 2:9). One aspect of dressing modestly is making sure everything that should be covered by clothing is adequately covered. However, the essential meaning of modesty is not drawing attention to yourself. People who dress modestly dress in such a way that they do not draw attention to themselves. Tattoos and body piercings most definitely draw attention. In this sense, tattoos and body piercings are not modest.
An important Scriptural principle on issues that the Bible does not specifically address is that if there is room for doubt as to whether it pleases God, then it is best to not engage in that activity. "For whatsoever is not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23). We need to remember that our bodies, as well as our souls, have been redeemed and belong to God. Although 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 does not directly apply to tattoos or body piercings, it does give us a principle, "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." This great truth should have a real bearing on what we do and where we go with our bodies. If our bodies belong to God, we should make sure we have His clear "permission" before we "mark it up" with tattoos or body piercings.

It sounds like a beautiful tatt. Just get a verse that has meaning to you. I personally would get 1 corinthians 13 as that was read at my wedding by my uncle, so basically I think if it means something to you then it will be right :)

i dont even think there was such things as tattooing when christ was walking around... so i dont know how it would be in the bible not to do it...
i think the only thing it says is "do not harm yourself"
i think its a cute idea. here are some
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
~Psalm 23:4~
"Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned, forgive, and ye shall be forgiven."
~Luke 6:37~
When times are good, be happy;
but when times are bad, consider:
God has made the one as well as the other...
~Ecclesiastes 7:14~
