As many of you probably know, I am considering getting a tattoo at some point in the future. I'm planning to get a flower of some sort (most likely) on my ankle. So today I was reading about getting a tattoo. So here is something I learned:
"Location? This is something you must consider as some places are more painful than others. Generally places on the body with thinner skin and are close to bone tend to hurt more. These places include the ankles, head, neck and lower back. Less painful places include the chest, upper arm and shoulders and the upper back."
So I want it on a painful part of my body. But whatever. So then I read what the meanings of flowers are so I know what it would symbolize. Here are some that I am considering, let me know what you think about the meanings and such. Some of these flowers have very interesting meanings go to: http://ezinearticles.com/?Flower-Tattoos&id=341354 and read up on more.
