I've seen some really beautiful artwork on some girls. One girl I know has her entire side from hip to over her ribs covered in a Koi fish. It's gorgeous but has taken her several settings to get completed.

I actually have two tattoos - one on my left chest above my heart that has 3 red hearts surrounded by small white & purple starbursts, I got this one for me & my 2 kids when going through a divorce about 10 years ago.
The other I got just 2 years ago and it's not exactly what I wanted. It's 4 stars alternating on my lower ankle to just on top of my foot - 1 large blue - 1 large pink -1 small blue - 1 small pink (to represent my husband, me, my son, my daughter). I wanted these starts to be connected by a purple ribbon but the tattoo artist misunderstood me and I didn't understand him when describing it. What I got instead of a ribbon is purple "flow" which is like a purple cloud. I don't hate it but I don't really like it either - it's just not what I wanted. If you get a tattoo please make sure you understand exactly what you want and that the tattoo artist understands. Have them draw it out for you if you are doing something special.

I am making plans to get the one on my ankle covered up. My daughter and husband both have birthdays in February so their birth month flower is Violet. I thought I might have Violets added to cover up the tattoo and even extend it on my foot a bit.

My workplace also doesn't allow tattoos to show so I can't ever wear skirts without having boots to cover them up. A lot of young people don't think about their future workplace when getting tattoos so I always encourage them to get a tattoo in a place that can be hidden if necessary. Also, get one that is tasteful. I know I wouldn't hire someone with a pot plant tattooed on their neck!!
