Design your own

Pre-designed tattoos are ten a penny.

Put it somewhere discrete that can be covered if you are unsure.

Remember that the voucher will have a value, as will the artists time.

£100, for example, is unlikely to get you much more than 60/90 minutes and the 'works of art' you see take much longer than that.

Have fun making your choice and enjoy the whole experience

I think that tattoos are such a personal thing, I'm not sure where anyone would even start to pick one for you.... but on the other-hand, I think that some really delicate vines with flowers creeping up your leg might look nice.

Personally, I would start by looking around at Tattooists websites and getting a feel of what styles you like, then try to pair the styles to things you have a passion for.

Think about why you want it, is it just decoration or will it have a meaning, a good tattooist will ask you this, before they do anything

I designed my own, it's on my hip and it's one I can add to again if I want. Make sure you really really like what you get. Look at plenty of pictures and take your time deciding. Good luck

I took a long time deciding mine. They're on my profile, its a half sleeve, led zep based. The real work of art will be my right arm sleeve, been in The planning for a few months now, that Will be pink floyd based.

I might add, I still need the last tatt to complete the half sleeve, it'll be the man with the sticks for those of you old enough to remember lol.

Ahh great choice, I had mine done there too. Tom is excellent if you like the "high detail" styles. There's loads of pics on their website to help give you inspiration.

I think the website is just hollymountaintattoo-dot-com

See looking at their site, they don't seem to do a lot of work that I would define as 'feminine'

You might not be going for 'feminine' of course.

Of the artists, they have, I like the dotwork / patterned pieces by Alex Bawn.

He could perhaps do a piece personal to you that flows with the lines and shape of your body ?

Do you have nothing in mind at all ?

I like to see tattoos that look really well designed and not these silly tacky ones

I would love another one but don't trust anyone as the two I have are nothing like what I wanted in the first place

They look good but not an exact likeness to my design

Hate band names or football stuff as they have no meaning

Tasteful all the way

Visible tatts are always a great ice breaker. Mine tend to get a great deal of attention...good job I'm not the shy and retiring type lol

Take your time I recently had across my back and shoulders done and I'm not happy with it I wish I'd taken someone with me as it's hard to watch what's going on at the rear

Getting a tattoo is like having sex for the first time. Don't do it until you feel ready.
