I love this tattoo and there’s obviously a lot of symbolism going on throughout it, but I’d like to know what it actually means. I know that the ‘body’ of the butterfly seems to be a kanji phrase… Anyone know any specifics?

Here’s the tattoo: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://tattoo.about.com/library/graphics/041003h.jpg&imgrefurl=http://tattoo.about.com/cs/tatart/l/bl041003h.htm&usg=__-UG0nGX5-lb4je93Qs7b9adhdvI=&h=365&w=400&sz=47&hl=en&start=2&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=aIzKzID_gQqitM:&tbnh=113&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dkanji%2Bbutterfly%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26ndsp%3D21%26tbs%3Disch:1

Ok so i’m planning to get a tattoo of my 3 brothers name in chinese (im the oldest of 3 bros their,14,11, and 1-1/2). On my scapula, sort of like what Angelina has. But should I. They always told me not to get the anyones name tattooed on me. Their my brothers. So would it be unappropriate?

I want a tattoo on my lower back (AKA "tramp stamp")
I want it to be close to this:

http://tattoo.about.com/library/graphics/kimwolf.jpg

but surrounded with hearts and stars, and i know it may sound corny but instead of a wolf, it would look like my chihuahua.
Or this:

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1237/651528188_74b0295de8.jpgbut

and in the middle of the heart my Chihuahua’s picture.

Underneath either one it i want it to say:
Je adore ma petit garcon L.M. Toujours et pour toujours.

My chihuahua L.M. is a big part of my life and has always been there for me. I know some people cant and wont understand this but in a way he is my baby.
Anyways how much would a tattoo like that probably cost?
And do you think it is a good idea for a tattoo?
Sorry.
The second link didn’t work.
It would be something like this:

http://z.about.com/d/tattoo/1/0/I/3/1/060505c.jpg

or

http://www.tattoosymbol.com/upload/images/pink_heart.jpg

The reason I want my tattoo there is because I have to get it somewhere that its only visible in swim suit season.
Where else could I get it?
Oh trust me.
I am going to get it custom.
I just know I want something similar to the above pics.
I would never steal another artists work.
Plus the guy who is doing my tatt is a wicked artist and has awards for it so I’m pretty sure whatever I get will be original.

Also you are right. They do seem a bit cluttered.
They are all different designs but two of them have kinda the same concept..
They all relate to my baby though!
I know I want his face on a heart with stars around it.
I might want him blowing smoke too.
Thanks.

Or anything like that? Such as between your tattoo and jeans or a bra strap? I know it would be best not to, but if it is necessary is there any way to protect the tattoo from being rubbed wrong?
Not necessarily for a long period of time.

I finally decided that I want a very small tattoo after a few years of thinking it over. I want something simple and very girlie, but the problem is I want to work with children so I want to get it somewhere it could be hidden, but where? I would love to get it my hip, but i’m not the tiniest girl, nor the biggest. Where could I possibly get a small tattoo that would not effect me getting a job with children later on?
By chance would anyone know about how much a tattoo would cost me if i were to get it on my hip, and about the size of a quarter?

I know everyone has a different tolerance of pain, and all tattoos hurt, but on a scale of 1-10 (one being no pain, ten being unbearable) how bad does a tattoo on the back of the neck hurt?

Before the lectures start, ironically, my mother is the one with the tattoo. I am 15, so not even legal for a tattoo for quite a while yet.

The tattoo that needs covering up is about the size of a palm, it is a shamrock with a mans name in it.

this is an honest question, but i understand if it sounds a bit trollish, sorry if it does.

what colors would you recommend?

These are similar to my mothers tattoo:

I have already decided I am going to get a tattoo. The only problem is, I know what I want to say, but dont know how to shorten it up or the exact words to use. I want to get it on the back of my neck and the idea is" It takes only seconds for someone to walk into your life, but a life time to get them out of your head." I was wondering if anyone could help me shorten it but keep the meaning. Thanks a bunch♥

I’ve been thinking about getting this design as a tattoo for several years now. I was wondering if if would work well and where I should put it. I am a girl, and I have a highly professional job, so it must be in a place that can easily be covered. Thanks for the advice!

I have a tattoo behind my ear and have to leave my hair up at work. We cannot have tattoos and regular concealer isnt working. You can still see the tattoo and its a huge mess!
Does anyone know anything else I could use?
Thanks everyone for answering!
Unfortunately I cant use a bandaid to cover it. Its very small but they specifically said no bandaids. : /
And my hair HAS to be pulled up all the way because its a restaraunt.

I’m planning on surprising my boyfriend by paying for his tattoo that he really wants.
He wants to get the tattoo on his upper back of the fiji mountains and the rising sun rays in the background.
I know that the cost of the tattoo is by hour but how much would it range to by the hour?
And i would like to know how much would get done in his tattoo?
Would they just do the outline of it?
Any information would help!
Thanks!

I have a tattoo on my back of a frog and I would like to use it as my logo. So I need to be able to put it on web sites and business cards. I can only guess I need it with a transparent back ground. I do not draw and this is a one of a kind tattoo. Are there any sites or information out there to get this done? I need to be able to make this part of a background so I will also need to change it’s color from black. And please do not say just do it in paint shop.. I tried I need instruction.

I recently enlisted and i think this would look sweet, only on my left arm, and without that extra flag stuff near the top of it and where it shows the skin ripping it would be all black inside, not all gut looking

I plan on it being as small as possible. The tattoo itself is going to consist of a few words. Its either going to be my favorite quote, my favorite lyric, or something in latin. I’m just wondering if someone could give me a general cost of a colorless, small, tattoo so I know how much I have to save up.
