i have been thinking about getting a family crest tattoo for a while now. at first i wanted it to be a decent size in the middle of my back but now i think that would be a little too much. no one in my immediate family has and tattoo’s or multiple piercings (i guess you could say we’re a bit conservative).

my inspiration:
i have always had a small family and it was boring at times. it wasnt until i took a trip to scotland to visit my extended family that i realized what it means to have a big, close family. the family i have in scotland is on my mothers side, my fathers family can not be traced back much farther than new york haha (his dad was an orphan and his grandmother on his mothers side was as well). anyways i have close ties with my family in scotland and could not think of a better thing to do than get a family crest tattoo.

my question:
where should i get the tattoo?
i want it some where that can be hidden, i also do not want it to be too large.
i was thinking on my upper arm but i have heard that peoples tattoos can become dis formed if your muscles grow or shrink (im into lifting so this could be a problem)
my number one place would be on one of my shoulder blades but i think it might look odd with a tattoo on one shoulder blade and not the other

if anyone has any thoughts or pictures of family crest tattoos i would love to see them

thanks,
rob
