Tattoo Troubles

Tattoo's are a big decision, especially since you will have it for the rest of your life. I've currently been looking through pictures of other peoples tattoo's for inspiration about what to get...

They seem to have become more like an fashion accessory rather than something that is special and personal to you, which is a bit of a shame, however I still think that tattoo's are a great thing, even if you are just 'following a trend'!

I've also been trying to decide WHERE to have a tattoo.
I quite like the idea of getting one on your wrist, however that is meant to be the most painful place to get one and I'm not sure I could cope with that much pain, haha. I guess you also have to decide if you want to see it or not, for instance, on your arm or on the back of your neck. 

Also how big do you get it? 
I kind of like the idea of having a smallish tattoo, rather than a big tattoo, because it would be more difficult to cover, especially if you get one of your hand or arm where you may have to cover it up for work purposes. However, big tattoo's also look really good. 

There are so many questions! Decisions, decisions!
