Where to get my tattoos that wont look bad with formal wear?

ok why 18th birthday is coming up and I’m planning to get my first tattoo…I had a couple in mind but I especially liked a pair of ballet shoes with my name below. However I have no clue where to get it…my mother says it will look bad on my back when I’m going to office dinners or formal functions and on my ankle: I’ll have to constantly wear pants alone to work and on my lower back…hardly anyone will see it…so right abt now I’m totally confused…what to do???

Answer #1

Every tattoo you get that will be visible sometimes, will be visible sometimes. You really can’t have a tattoo that you want sometimes and you don’t want other times. Yes, you can get the tattoo in places you may not expose all the time, but no matter where you get it it’s always going to be there and it’s going to show at the pool, wearing strapless dresses, when you wear your hair up, etc. Tattoos aren’t for everyone and not everyone likes the permanence of tattoos. Just because your mom thinks it would be tacky, doesn’t mean you agree. If you do, maybe you shouldn’t get one. If you really want a specific tattoo then you won’t care who sees it or what they think of it. It’s your personal choice. I do, however, think all tattoos should be able to be covered when appropriate, but you need to decide when it’s appropriate for your tattoo to show according to your tastes and the way you dress. If you often wear your hair up, then a neck tattoo may not be the placement for you. On the other hand, if you seldom wear bikinis or short tops, getting it on your lower back may not be the placement for you either because your tattoo will always be covered. I have a tattoo on my foot that wraps halfway around my ankle and I love it. It shows when I wear shorts and sandals or if I’m at the beach/pool, but other than that no one hardly ever sees it. It’s a good place to let a tattoo show when you want it to or cover it when you don’t. It is, however, always visible to me and when I wear any kind of shoes without socks. There is no ‘magic’ place to get a tattoo that is perfect. Think long and hard about it, but in the end get what tattoo you want, where you want it.

Answer #2

Best place would be your right or left side towards the front. its hidden yet it looks great.

Answer #3

u could get the tatoo on your lower front like just above your thy and just below you waste line.

Answer #4

I was considering that but my mom says it would look kinda tacky if I put on a strapless dress to go to a formal event or at a office dinner…I would have to constantly leave my hair down…

Answer #5

If you want to hide it you could get it on the back of your neck. I might be doing that myself some day, I want a valknut tattoo, but I don’t necessarily want everyone to see it. So there’s an idea for you.

Answer #6

I know a few people that had it done on the bas of there foot and on there backside and some have a very small tattoo behing the ear coverd by there hair
