I'm trying to get a better sense of what people choose as a first ever tattoo, where they typically choose to place it on the body, and why.
Is it a personal design or artists design?

(Testimonies and photos welcomed!)

Peace.

My first Tattoo was an Orchid with vine coming across my lower back There is a picture of it on my, my space at www.myspace.com/hardcoreskills sorry if that doesn't take you to it the computer i am on doesn't let me get on my space, any way i got it because i got out of a really bad relationship it was my way of breaking free the flower represented me beautiful, bright, vibrant, Strong and willing to stand alone. i got it on my lower back because it was easy top cover up and no one knew i would have it unless i showed them.

this is a pic of my first tattoo. words are good but pics are better.

I'm with you ironhorse95! Here is a pic of my first. I put it on my right breast because it was my first and I was told that that was a good place to put one, as a woman--wouldn't hurt much (not that they do anywhere) and I can choose to show it or not. The reason I chose the design was as a way to describe myself: I keep my heart well protected because there is something very beautiful and unique inside.

Mine was a primative swastica on my ancle, I was 9 years old. I could take a picture but It's blended into a quarter inch ink blob.

My first professional tattoo is a dragon on my chest, It was done about six years ago, and it really looks like shit, all blown out, color is spotty, the dragons head looks like something else, and while he was working on me he burnt the shit out of me with a sun lamp, I'm talking burnt me purple with blisters. That was the last tattoo I got from that guy!!

still in progress. got the cross and chinese letters done a month between each session, and the bamboo is going to be finished up in about 2 weeks.

I don't have a tattoo, but my husband's first tattoo is a wolf print on his leg, just above his ankle.
