Hawaiian Sea Turtle
Any tips/info/advice/opinions on getting a tattoo on your side?

I'm thinking (seriously) about getting a tattoo on my side/rib area right below my bra strap. Its going to be a sea turtle swimming down and towards the front of me with some water swirls and three ilima flowers. One of the fins is going to have a few spots shaped and darkened in the shape of the hawaiian islands. The whole thing is in memoir of my time living in hawaii. I grew alot as a person and it was just two of the most important years of my life. I just turned eighteen and it is my first tattoo. I know this is a painful spot and this is a kind of ambitious choice for a first tattoo. just wondering what you guys had to say. Attractive spot? Thanks
Thanks so much guys, you're helping alot Keep em comin!

I would stick with the location as this is sounding like a beautiful tattoo. Pick an artist that is going to do a really good job for you - check his/her work carefully to see if the style is realistic enough for you as this down not sound good to be done cartoonish. A pro will be certain you have enough breaks and you won't have sessions so long that it is unbearable for you.

Be sure you are healthy, (best pain tolerance right after you finished your period), you had a good night sleep, no drinking the night before or day of, and you have a solid light meal like a turkey sandwich with cheese on whole wheat bread an hour or so before the tattooing. Be well hydrated and maybe bring some suckers for sugar boosts.

All will be fine!
