Q. Allright, so I love music. I've been singing since I was eight, which I'm 19 now so it's been a while. I want a tattoo that goes along with it, without just the music notes, but i don't know if i want a microphone or not. I can't draw at all, so that's out of the question. Do any of you have any ideas for what I can do? I thought about just getting "sing your heart out" across my wrist, but if someone had some other words or phrases for me to consider that'd be awesome. I mean, I do have a general idea, I just can't think of anything other than that right now...
A. I have no problem with a microphone, you can do old style and you can even have a hint of something in the reflection. I just saw Cory do one on L.A. Ink that had a microphone reflected in the image of sunglasses. Cool.
You could take this idea, with a women singer silhouette and have it travel up your forearm... maybe on top of a red rose or other flower:

How about a torch singer on a piano (you can have a 30's or 40's look):

If you have an idea and any and all images that even come remotely close to that idea, your artist can start drawing up a custom piece for you, and work with you.

Would it be a bad idea for a bf/gf get matching tattoos at 17?
Q. just in general how do you feel about it?
A. Terrible idea. Tattoos are permanent, and your life will change in ways you can't even imagine at 17.
Things to think about:
1) I'm sorry, but the chances of you staying with the same boyfriend/girlfriend you're with when you're 17 are not very good. If the two of you REALLY want to have matching tattoos, wait a few years first.
2) The body you have at 17 is NOT the same body you will have at 47, let alone 27, or even 20! Your body continues to change throughout your life--you will grow, gain weight, lose weight, fill out, etc., and your skin will stretch to accommodate all of these changes. If you are a woman, you are even more prone to body & weight changes, particularly if you ever become pregnant. Depending on the size and location of your tattoo, it will not look the same in a few years. Are you prepared to have a stretched-out looking tattoo when you're 40?
3) Your tastes will change dramatically as well. Is "Johnny & Sally 4Ever" something you want to be explaining to your grandchildren? (Especially if their Grandpa's name is Robert?)
4) You will need to get a job and be an adult someday. Is the tattoo you get now something that can be covered with clothing or make-up? Many companies will not hire employees with visible tattoos, and there are a number of fields (from modeling to Fortune 500) where they can hurt you professionally.
5) What do your parents think? At 17, you may still need their permission before a reputable tattoo artist will touch you. (And believe me, you do NOT want someone who isn't a reputable tattoo artist coming near you with a needle!)
I have nothing against tattoos, but I've known plenty of people who had tattoos done in their teens that they regretted as adults (and a few who regretted them almost immediately). One of the best pieces of advice I've heard is to draw your tattoo on with black eyeliner--same design, same place--every day for a full year. If you still like it after a year, get it. If not... well, you're only out the cost of eyeliner, not the tattoo AND laser treatments for its removal.
