Tattoos
Hi, i'm 16/F.
For as long as I can remember I've never liked tattoos. EVER. I thought they were pointless and never understood them. But it seems like a lot of people I know have them. My stepdad has six or seven and my mom has three. A few of my friends have one or two, and others have tons. Earlier this year my boyfriend of two years got one on his arm. He was pressured into it, and regrets getting it terribly. But i've seen a few girls lately (I don't know any of them) with tatoos on their feet. I thought they were absolutely adorable. I never considered getting one, but the more I see them, the more I like them. It's not peer pressure or anything, but it's just that I simply think they are cute and I want one. I haven't mentioned it to anyone yet, but i'm seriously considering getting it done. I know that I deffinately want a star(s) on my foot but I can't decide what sequence or design I want. So if anyone has any design ideas, or websites I would love to have the link. Here are some I've found so far that I like. Opinions?:

I've already done research and i'm still doing so on the after care, and everything. I know getting a tattoo is a big deal, and i'm for sure going to think about it a little longer before actually going through with it.
My question is how to bring this up to my mom. She's not uptight about things like this. Infact, she let me get my belly button pierced a few years ago with a lot of nagging about it from me of course. But I wanted my tongue pierced a few months back, and she said no. She thought it was trashy looking. I wasn't very persistant about it like I was with my naval piercing, and eventually I decided I didn't want it done. The thing is, tattoos are different. They are permanent and i'm afraid it won't be so easy to talk her into letting me get one. I don't want to beg or whine like I did with my belly button, but I don't want to drop it all together like I did with my tongue. I'm positive this is what I want, and the one's i've so far picked out are very small and easily hideable. I'm very willing to pay for it myself, so how could I bring this up in a mature way?
So basically I have 3 questions.
1. How to bring this up to my mom.
2. Any websites with tattoo designs so I can go ahead a pick out what I want?
3. Which of the pictures did you like best?

1. Compliment your moms tattoo. Tell her that you think a little star or design on your foot or ankle would be cute and you feel that you're responsible enough to care for it.

3. I like the first picture.
I recommend making sure the tattoo is easy to be hid. If you ever have to go to a wedding, and at your own wedding also, you don't want it to look trashy when your all dressed up. Definately think it over well before you get it done. It's permanent!

i can answer number 1 and 3 for you.
talk to your mom and bring up the subject of tatoos (it doesn't have to be about you getting one yet) so you can be like "oh mom, your tatoo looks so good. i love it" then start to talk about how good they look and how maybe you should get one, so that it's a family thing. ((maybe possibly get a family tatoo, so the same tatoo for the whole family?)) Then say "oh it's not going to be a big one, and it's not going to be in a noticable spot. Maybe a star on my ankle?" If she says no, then don't whine like a little baby. Just say "i think i'm a responsible adult and I will pay for it. I promise I will not get more than 2 tattoos." or however many you want.
If she still says no- then drop the subject for maybe a couple of days and then ask her again and say something like "it's for a good cause. Maybe a tattoo that has a good sign- like a cancer sign, or autisum sign? or whatever
Oh and I really like the 2nd link that you showed us. That one is the best.
