how can you make a pot leaf tattoo appear feminine on a woman?

Q. maybe adding tribal, keeping it small??
also, where should i put it to not look like i'm a drug addict?

A. if you get a marijuana leaf tattooed on you then its obviously of great importance to you, so people will automatically assume that you are a pothead, or drug addict regardless of its placement. but if you insist, and you want to make it feminine, then id say to make it pink.

and possibly, dont have a black outline for the tattoo, so it looks like a pretty painting of some sort or more realistic
