Ok, I dont..
It's my sister that needs help. She gonna get another tattoo in the end of this month but she dont have any clue of what she should do. She has looked thru alot of sites but havent really found anything that she want. She wants something on the underarm or on the chest so if you got any nice tattoos or any nice ideas that you feel like sharing, please do so.

Thanks. :>

Find an experienced tattoo artist. Use one that doesn't do flash.

If the artist hears what is important to your sis, he/she may be able to come up with a personalized tat. My wife has an initial D for her first name wrapped in leafy ivy down the long side of the D. In the leaves, the veins are shaped into my initials. To anyone looking it won't be apparent.

It's a great tattoo but we paid $300 for it.

The short answer is find what is important to her, and figure out what image would she like, then get an artist's interpretation of it.

What does she like? Dragons, tribal, names, or just pictures of things?

The first tattoo is always the hardest choice to make. I regret getting my first one, I hate it now and I want it removed. I didn't spend long enough on making the choice and now I regret it. My last (4th) one I love it so much and have spent a long time thinking about my 5th. If she is any good at drawing or to come up with her own design?

It is! I really like it. The place we went is here:

http://www.tatusbykore.com/

She's a very nice lady and does only custom work. My daughter also had a "flash" style tattoo in mind of a dragon for her 18th birthday. Kore came up with a different version which my daughter really liked - more than the original.

Add to that she has incense burning, lots of plants, completely sanitary and it really made a difference in her pain level during the process. If I ever decide to get another one I'd go back there.
