On a woman, gosh I just do not know....small, quarter size, some place you know it is there, but not visable to everyone else.....maybe around the iliac crest area?

I am not a tattoo fan myself. I have thought about this for 10 years- The same idea and everything. I would never get a "tramp stamp".
I have known the artist for several years so they said they will not be responsible if I change my mind later. I must be 100% sure. He thinks it would look great on the wrist, ankle, foot, or shoulder- Places that don't stretch much over time and other than the wrist very easily hidden and kept personal. He also won't do it on me for 6 months- He says I am too emotional right now which is true.
I have thought about this design idea for about 10 years so 6 months won't kill me.
It would be my first tattoo so he doesn't want me to rush myself. If I want him to do it I must wait. Great things come to those that would right?
I would never get a significant other's name on my body. IMO that is showing they own you and I will not be owned by another person. Parents, sibling, kids names I get but not a significant others. Everyone I know who did this was broken up from that person within a year.
Someone PM'ed me to suggest commissioning a piece of jewelry. I like the idea and will have to look into it. My job as a nurse do to infection control risks only allows simple wedding bands (not married or engaged) and post earrings. Necklaces are a choking risk is a patient grabs on it. So I would have to remove the piece before going to work. An anklet would work I guess. Due to my job I also can't have visible tattoos. Tattoos must be covered.
