pls help- star tattoo

[trixipaws]

i've never had a tattoo, but have considered a small outline of a five-pointed star for years, and think i'll go for it after i've had the baby.

but where shall i put it? i dont really want it on my shoulders, neck, or arms- but anywhere else any suggestions?

i am 1.63m tall, size 6-8 when not pregnant and have olive skin and dark hair and eyes. where do u think i'd suit it?

I can't stand tattoos
My dad has hundreds and as he's getting older they are fading and sagging and are just, well

- just my opinion though!

lol - he is saggin - not sure about fading....
Everyones skin loosens and stretches with age..

My dad is a fit person, so he's not haggard! Plus he's 48 so not that old either.

No not old at all actually, and yes I think its good to remember that tattoos do fade over time.

Of course there are things you can do to help, number 1 is to find the best tattooist you can to do the job. This alone makes a massive difference to how your tattoo will look over the coming years.

Next best thing is to keep them out of sunlight as much as possible, and when you're in the sun use childrens high factor sunblock.

However, the point I was getting at is that people always make the comment 'what about when your old?' when realistically you shouldn't be parading about in a skimpy bikini etc when your 70!

Also I tend to view it from the opposing side, which is I like old faded tattoos because I see them as little slices of history in a persons life.

lol - I'm not fussed about other people tattoos really (don't like my dad's they are all down his arms - he regrets them too - he looks like a thug!) but I would never have one, DH wouldn't have one and if my children ever get one, well they had better learn to run REAL fast!
