Dang. I want a new tattoo. One that starts on my upper are and connects with the one on my lower arm.

Yes, I do know
Luckily I found a great tattoo artist who really takes his time to talk about what you want and making sketches until you are satisfied.

Permanence of personal depth and meaning is important though, and I don't know what that is with me (perhaps I am as shallow as a puddle...should I get a tattoo of a puddle?  ).
But keep us informed and, of course, "pictures or it didn't happen".

If you want good ideas, just look at a couple of online tattoo galleries. Then you can ask your tattoo artist to adapt that design to your own wishes. Or you can at least give him an idea of what you want. That's how I chose the basic idea for my foot tattoo. I find the 'where' question a lot harder ...

Would love to see yours...
as said previously - "pictures or id didn't happen"

... because of sagging when you get older. I try to go for places that don't expand or 'droop' too much when gaining weight or getting older, and that can be easily hidden. Like the foot. Nape of the neck is another. Inside of the wrist maybe. I would never ever get a tattoo on my hip for example. But then again, I'm pretty confident that tattoo removal will be a lot less expensive and less painfull by the time I'm 60 years old
Anyway, the tattooist I like usually has a waiting list up to 6 months, so I'll have to wait a while longer before I can get another one.
