Its no problem at all – I JUST got a tattoo behind my ear two weeks ago and my sister is getting the same one this week. Its a kindof abstracted design of two birds sharing one wing. Well, heres a cellphone pic of it I took right after.

Heres my advice – go for it, but definitely do your research. The artist I went to was highly recommended and REALLY experienced – not only did he do an amazing job (I drew the design myself and he basically got it down perfect) but it BARELY hurt.. the one on my back actually hurt more than this did. The artist explained to me that he had a really “light hand” because he knows behind the ear can be a sensitive spot. The whole experience was great, the parlor was clean, we chatted a bunch, and the pain was suprisingly minimal.

But yea, ask around, and you’ll be good to go! Good luck!
