What I do is have a folder on my computer full of drawing and tattoo examples. Just go on flickr or some other search and see what you can find. I save all images I like for various reasons, color, shading, style, subject matter, etc.
Other peoples work can spark ideas, IMO I would never completly copy anothers tattoo but make variations of it to suit myself.
I would say that would be the quickest way to find something to your liking.

I also dont like “follow your bliss”. And since you chose to get your first tattoo on your arm be lucky you didnt get that phrase because you would be constantly explaining what it means or why you got that. People love to ask what text says if you have it on your arms and if you have to explain it often it gets really old.

I got my first tattoo when I was 17 and I dont regret it, it reminds me of how I was when i was 17, I drew it myself and stressed to the artist that I wanted it exactly how I drew it. Its ugly and poorly drawn but I dont regret it. I would never regret any of my tattoos because they represent certain things in my past and I thought them through! That particular tattoo is also on my back. I wouldnt have been so bold as to get one on my arms at such a young age.

If your first thought is regret then asking strangers on a forum their opinions is not going to make you feel better about it.
Either you like it or you dont, just take it as a lesson, such is life.
Hope this doesnt turn off your interest in tattoos, a well thought out piece of work and a great artist can make a lifelong piece of unique art that you can enjoy on your body forever.

Honestly for me…my rook sucked! Cartilage piercings are just horrible for the healing process. They say the healing time is 6 months to year but mine took a little more than a year for my ear to be perfectly back to normal.
I had to change what ear I talked on the phone on, I couldnt sleep on that side. I can finally now play or bend my ear without pain. And it wasnt infected.
To clean it you have to fill a cup of water with the solution and dunk your ear into it for like 10 mins a couple times a day.
There are no problems with snagging on things IMO. Its so nicely tucked in your ear it isnt a problem mine was a barbell though. I would say go with a barbell, not a ring. A ring may get caught on things and when sleeping it would be able to rub on surfaces and irritate the piercing. And you do not want that raw puppy rubbing or touching anything. A barbell is not harder to clean. Just use the dipping ear in cup thing.
I’m a fan of cartilage piercings and how they look but it does kind of suck for a while.

I’m cool with it now, not sure it was totally worth it for me but that thing took alot of heal time and I feel sort of acomplished for it. 🙂
If you love the look of the rook and are prepared with a possible one year healing time then go for it!
