Where should I get my tattoo?

Asked by minniemau5 (432points) May 25th, 2011

I’ve been thinking a lot lately of getting a tattoo to celebrate my cancer survivorship. I’ve already come up with a design – a cancer awareness ribbon made into a butterfly (apparently it’s quite common). http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=9399875&l=7608f0ec88&id=518585733 It’ll look something like that – Please keep in mind I have no artistic talent so hopefully it’ll look a little better :)

Due to my job, I can’t have glaringly obvious tattoos.. any suggestions on where I should get it (that’s not for everyone to see?)

What about on your back, near your shoulder blade? Or maybe your calf?

My “hey! I beat cancer!” tattoo is on my abdomen, over where the bulk of the tumor was. I don’t think you have quite that easy an option, though, if I remember correctly. How about somewhere you can see it regularly? I’m still (after 12 years) a bit lifted when I see mine. Maybe over your heart?

Along your rib cage (:

(The way Travis barker has Cadillac tattood, only smaller I’d hope)

Could this compromise your cure at all—adding some dye to your skin?

So you’re in remission from that recent occurance? That’s fabulous!

I remember you saying that you have some features you’re self-conscious of from effects of chemo. I don’t know if any of those places would make good tattoo locations, but if so maybe you could put it near one? That way, when you feel self-concious about that feature, you could look at the tattoo and remember what you were up against, that you beat. Just an idea!

It’s cute. Pick somewhere that shows in a bikini. Rib cage would be good, or abdomen.

Here’s a handy visual reference guide for tattoo locations.
