Thigh tattoo opinions?

Q. So I've been REALLY wanting a tattoo for a while now and I'm pretty serious about it. I have a huge list of ideas, but there are a few things that are stopping me. The first is money, but that's the last thing I'd deal with. Next is placement. I've always wanted small tattoos, kind of minimalistic on my arms and maybe shoulders/back, but lately I've been really in love with the idea of a tattoo on the top of my thigh, but kind of more towards the outside of my thigh. Is this a good location? I'd use this for a bigger piece, like an Alphonse Mucha piece, or something that I design myself, but my question is, is it a tasteful location? I'm not necessarily concerned about what strangers think, but I AM worried about what my dad will think (he's not a huge fan of the idea of tattoos). I figured I could easily hide it under a lot of pairs of pants, but by the time summer comes, I'd be showing it off to the world. When I show it off with shorts, will it look weird? Just that one piece? Also, is it generally less painful to get a tattoo in this location? Because that's something else I'm concerned about. I have never had a tattoo so I'm thinking this might not necessarily be the best first tattoo.... Your opinions?
Oh and if you happen to live in Minnesota, do you happen to know of anyone who would be a great artist for an Alphonse Mucha tattoo? Or I guess do you know of just a great tattoo artist in general?

A. Upper right thigh for a woman is a great spot in my opinion, it's a place where you can hide it easily if needed, and when you want it to be it's sexy. And it's a great spot for bigger pieces. On the plus side it's one of the less painful places. As long as it's the outer thigh. And not on the hip. But I would recommend it. (: sounds like a great idea

Tattoo on Thigh?????????Your thoughts?????

Q. Hello as you can tell I am considering a tattoo on my thigh. I am just wondering about the tattoos location since I am getting ready to work in a professional setting. I am worried about being plus sized and having a tattoo there (if I get fatter or something), as well as is it considered tacky IF the artist does a good job. I know I want the design its the placement I am thinking on...


(I have 7 others in locations that are hidden so its not like I am a newbie at this.)

A. It depends on the design and how it will fit that are but that's a cool spot, it can be hidden since your probably not going to be wearing mini skirts at your work place (no woman should in a profesional environment). 5-10 pounds doesn't change a tattoo all that much. 50-100 pounds or more now that can change a tattoo. If any thing the tattoo should give you some motivation to not get bigger. If the artist does a good job then it shouldn't look tacky.

What meanings could come out of a snake tattoo?

Q.

A. Meaning of the Snake Tattoo

The concept of the snake as a symbol of wisdom and knowledge goes back a long way. Both the East and the West embrace snake tattoo designs, as the snake frequently appears in myths and legends in most cultures around the world. One of the oldest symbols in existence, the snake's image is found long before the written word appeared. Depending on culture, climate, and religion, the snake was seen as a friend or foe, a force both positive and negative. The snake's phallic shape has long made it a symbol of fertility and on a woman is considered extremely sexy.

The Chinese zodiac contains the snake as one of its twelve animal signs. Those born under the sign of the snake are said to be rich in wisdom and charm, are intuitive and romantic.

As a tattoo design, the snake symbolizes power, both natural and supernatural, fertility, regeneration and wisdom. In the West in particular, the snake represents feminine sexual power. Adam and Eve and the Snake in the Garden of Eden are never too far from the popular consciousness. One of the reasons snakes have been such a popular tattoo design for over a century is their ability to be combined with other tattoo symbols and the ease with which the tattoo artist can use the fluid and dynamic shape and form of the snake to emphasize the aesthetic lines of the human body. Frankly, it doesn't get much sexier than a snake wrapped around an arm or a thigh or draped over a shoulder and around a breast of a woman. And for this reason, snakes are popular with women.

Snakes if done right, are one of the very sexiest and most attractive of tattoos. They look their best wrapped around a body part such as a finger arm or leg.

What are the places where I can have a tattoo so that when I grow older, it wont sag and look ugly.?

Q.

A. Places with less fat and flesh change less overtime, so lower back, calves, upper back and lower arms on women, for men, all of these plus thighs and upper arms too.

The fact is that as we age, so do our tattoos, and some designs will age better than others.
Big, bold, dark tattoos age much better than lighter, colourful tattoos but all age to some extent.

Keep your tattoos moisturized even after they are healed, keep them out of the sun at all times or at least use lots of sunblock, try not to put on excess weight, but above all accept that:

Aging does not equal ugly, age has it's own beauty and old tattoos, like old people possess a uniqueness that is not ugly but beautiful in their own right, since they represent the life and experiences and wisdom of the wearer.
