My name is Andrew, I am 16 years old. I want to get my first tattoo, my mom and dad both agreed to it…. I would like the tattoo to be somewhere on my arm partically on my upper arm so its not always visable, I dont want a huge tattoo. I was thinking of getting some sort of tribal tattoo like a tribal tiger or a tribal wolf. But if anybody has any other ideas i am open to them I would greatly appreciate you guys helping me 🙂
Hi
If you type in tribal wolf or tiger on google images they will toss up several hundred images for you to look at and get an idea.
The main things to consider are this;
Tattooing is very addictive – do you really want to ruin the biggest canvas you have (your back)?
Also I am now in my 30’s and every person i know who got a tattoo between 14-18 has now had it covered up because they simply outgrew the tattoo as their tastes had changed.
You want a tattoo get one but think seriously hard on it as what is ‘cool’ in your teens and 20’s nay not be cool in your 30’s onwards.
Also women (not girls here but women 😉 ) do not dig shitty tattoos – you get inked you want it perfect and by a pro.
Take Care

Dude, slow down! I was 14 when I decided I wanted to get tattoos, but it took me 7 years to decide what I wanted to get for my first one. A friend of mine put it to me quite simply, he would have tattooed me at 16 if and only if I could tell him honestly how I would feel about what I wanted at age 80 and what would I say to my grandkids when they asked about it. He said my first tattoo should be truely meaningful, and something I could live with for the rest of my life. Anyhow, if you have thought long and hard about this and still want to do it at your tender age, I want to stress GO TO A REPUTABLE PROFESSIONAL!!!!!!! and I don’t recommend a tribal, for the simple fact that when you outgrow it, it will be much more difficult to cover. Since your name on here is SurferDude, then I take it you like the beach and surf stuff, maybe you can talk to a good artist and get them to do up a custom wave type design, I have seen some really nice partial sleeves of waves. And as a chick, yes chicks dig professional looking tats, jailhouse tats suck, major turnoff!
i totally agree with everyone telling you to wait and make sure. i rushed my first one, i ended up getting a music note on my wrist. and at of allo my tat its my leastr favorite because i went to a shop i didnt know anything about, and i still dont know the artists name who did it. and he messed it up. deff wait till you have something you know u really want and get to know a artist it makes the expenience way better. some times its better to wait 🙂
