i spent 6 years in the Navy and perhaps have been in a few dozen tattoo parlors with friends. I never got a tattoo because I couldn't find anything I wanted to live with for the rest of my life. To me it would be like wearing the same shirt or hat every day forever. Many of my early friends that received tattoos now regret it. They say it has hurt employment and other peoples general perception of who they are. i would opt for a new piece of jewelry or new outfit. With this option if you tire of them after a few years you can at least change them. Since you are asking for recommendations that says you don't know what you want. The right recommendation is think about it at least another year before acting. A body piercing would be better because at least the effect is not something that will linger when you tire of it.

I know tattoos are trendy with young people today. This fad will pass over time but the tattoo will be looking back at you when you are old and wrinkled like me. My 2 cents worth.
