Help me decide where to put my new ink!

So I’vw booked in to have these cats inked on me. I can’t decide where to put them. I was thinking maybe top of thighs, heads together to the centre, one on each leg or maybe above my bum?? Hips would be good but I have stretch marks and really really don’t like my tum. Any other ideas or what do you think will look best? My arms are full up! And so is my back shoulders across the top. Oh and one ankle. I’m seeing the artist tomorrow for my consultation so I’d like to have a better idea of where on my body I want them. Help me decide pretty please

Forehead?!

Kenworthington · 09/05/2019 21:16

Yeah that’d be a strong look @Joopy

Kenworthington · 09/05/2019 21:18

Bum cheeks????

Chest ?

curlykaren · 09/05/2019 21:20

How big? Its difficult to tell from picture?

ReganSomerset · 09/05/2019 21:20

Totally failed at understanding the thread title. Came on to suggest a pen.

Kenworthington · 09/05/2019 21:21

I’m not sure. I’m imagining they might be hand sized maybe a bit smaller?

I’ve had my sternum /in between boobs done and it was the MOST painful thing I’ve ever had done so am not keen for my chest

Love them!! I think they'd look great on the back of each calf

ReganSomerset · 09/05/2019 21:23

One on each foot.

Kenworthington · 09/05/2019 21:24

Ooh now/ calf. I hadn’t thought of that option. Hmmmmmm

OP posts:

Kenworthington · 09/05/2019 21:25

Ooh yes feet. Also good call. May have to numb my feet for it though. I’m getting worse at dealing with the pain. Which is unfortunate

ReganSomerset · 09/05/2019 21:25

Oooh, or do that hairstyle where you shave the sides of your head but leave the middle long so when you wear your hair down it totally hides it. Then have one on each side.

Kenworthington · 09/05/2019 21:27

Oh god no I’m def NOT shaving my hair off or having my head tattooed. Not least that I’ve spent 4 years growing it out!!

OP posts:

Kenworthington · 09/05/2019 21:27

I’m enjoying the suggestions though. Thanks Keep them coming!!

Ohh, I LOVE these! I see these on thighs. On the back, looking out the way as they are now, definitely not looking in towards your ahem pussy 😂 unless that's what they are indicating?

Kenworthington · 09/05/2019 21:31

I kind of thought it would be funny 😬🤣

Op this is a genuine question I’m not being bitchy - do you not worry about changing your mind when your older? Do u mind me asking how old you are?
I had a small one on my shoulder when I was a teenager - I’m now 35 and I hate it and have done for about the last 15 years. It’s not so big or horrid that I’ve felt the need as yet to get it lasered but I wish I didn’t have it.
The recent trend for being covered in them baffles me. It’s like donning a shellsuit and having a mullet haircut in in the 80’s and then saying “this is the look I will have for the rest of my life”.
It is a nice drawing of the cats but couldn’t you just frame and mount them on your wall instead?

jcq17 · 09/05/2019 21:37

I'd go
Calves!

Kenworthington · 09/05/2019 21:39

No I don’t mind you asking- I’m 43, so already fairly old haha. Life is too short to worry about some future unknown. I am a big lass, I have a lot of tattoos already and am fairly body confident. With every new tattoo I have put on me I gain a little bit more. I feel more me now than I ever did when I was young. If I regret any I’ll cover them with different ones if and when I need to. But I only have stuff done that I really love. It’s art, decoration, it marks this periods of my life where I am happy and content with my life and myself so will only ever have happy and positive connotations for me I think

I’m not sure but don’t like the poor wee mouse! Cats yes but not mouse. I’d go bum but I’m just deliberating first one so still scared

Haha I think the one with the mouse reminds me of my prolific hunter cat! That’s prob why I like it

GetOffTheRoof · 09/05/2019 21:43

Pfft, I'm 38 and love the bespoke tattoo I got at 18.

DH is covered in various tattoos - one especially hellish one I detest, and some are pieces of art. He's 39. Here's one he had recently.

I chose to keep mine in a hidden spot, but I'm considering a large one on my back - but it will be artwork by a quality artist, not cheap tat picked from a list on a wall as was the fashion in my teens.

Help me decide where to put my new ink!
