Getting tattoos at all can be a controversial topic, especially for young people. The worst thing you can do is get into the habit of 'never having enough', and getting more and more ink until you have ruined your body, or put what will certainly become embarrassing tattoos where it is impossible to hide them without discomfort. And before anyone gets a tattoo, she/he should talk with two or three people who have gone through the painful process of having tattoos removed, and should see the physical scarring left behind. Then at least you are acting with your eyes open.

If you are going to do it, the best way is to put the tattoo where you can always discretely hide it, and let it show ONLY when you want it to. DO NOT put a tattoo anywhere near or onto your face, and I would even avoid the legs or lower arms. I have seen some stunning ink on men's upper arms, and on women, the lower back. Beautiful, but still discrete. Not in-your-face, and easy to hide in settings where you don't want to show it off.

Frankly I would also avoid the genitals for ever and at all costs, however brilliantly funny or cute you think your idea is. You will share your genitals throughout your life with your most intimate of companions-- they may not always be amused by making love with a dragon, Porky Pig or Ganesha.
