Tattoo ideas (quote or others)!
I'm 18/f and have wanted a tattoo for quite some time.
I've always wanted a short quote along the side of my foot, and there are only 2 things stopping me.
I'm not very pain-tolerant, and I know the foot is one of the most painful places to get a tattoo, and the easiest to get an infection. I've done my research. Also, the quote I used to want is much too long to get on my foot.
So here are my questions:
Does anyone know and good, short-esque quotes you could get tattooed along the side of your foot? [If you've seen a tattoo you think is awesome (small tattoo!) and it's not a quote, feel free to share that too]
And, just in case I decide that I'm much too pain intolerant to get it on the side of my foot, what are some other, less painful places to get a quote tattoo? Make sure it's a place that can be easily covered when I enter my career (I'm in college to become a teacher).
I'm not going to get one unless I'm positive, but there's nothing wrong with getting suggestions.
Thanks!

When I turn 18 I will be getting a tattoo on my wrist that says "Live.Laugh.Love" in an arc form. It's the quote I live by so it means a lot to me. I know a girl who has about 6 tattoos all over her body. She said the ones on her wrists didn't hurt, the one on her foot hurt the most, the one on her hand (the squishy part between your thumb and the rest of your hand) it just felt weird but didn't really hurt and the one on her lower side, the biggest tatt she has, didn't hurt until they got to the hip/pelvis area.
I think a song quote would be neat, not everyone would know of it. If you're religious then maybe something related to that. There's a design for The Tree of Life, that I might also get. You can always make up your own quote. Just make sure its perfect. I took at least a month designing my tattoo. Then I drew it on with a pen to get used to the idea of having something permanant on me.
I hear you on the issue of needing it to be coverable. If you have long hair then a tattoo on your upper back can be hidable. I have a neighbor and for at least 6 months I never knew she had a tattoo because she has hair halfway down her back but then one day she wore it up with an open back shirt and she had a HUGE tattoo all across her back. There were a lot of teachers in my school who had ankle tattoos and you didn't see them until the summer when they started wearing skirts.

If I ever got a tattoo, it would be
"Veni, Vidi, Vici"
I came, I saw, I conquered.
Now that I think about it, the foot would be an appropriate place for it!

Other than that, use song lyrics! Find your favorite quote from your favorite song :)

Maybe you could put something that you live by as your tattoo. What is your personal philosophy? What's a quote that you make sure rings true by the way you live your life?
I would suggest doing something like that. If it's something you live by, it's a tattoo you'll be confident about, and proud of.
For placing, I would probably suggest your shoulder blade. It's easy to cover up but you may need a little bit of help taking care of it. I think the foot is a good place and while it's painful, definitely worth it. I have a small tattoo on my wrist. It hurt for me (my wrists are bony) but it could work. If it's small enough, it won't be too noticeable & would definitely work for a school setting. :)

I'm not really sure on qoutes..but my favorite qpute is "we make war so that we may live in peace"-aristole..pretty sure that's how it goes. If I were to get a tattoo it'd probably be a peace sign or tree or rosary. Because those are three things I know I will never stop loving. (peace, nature,god) a tattoo is a big descision so it has to be something you won't get tired of. I would get a tattoo on my wrist, foot, or ankle. All painful places..haha. Probably your back or arm or leg.isn't painful.. I wouldn't personally know though. Hope that helped :)

Well, I don't think that this is the best place to get ideas. Not that the people here don't have good ideas, but a tattoo is a very big decision. It stays with you for the rest of your life, so the quote you choose has to be one that you find enlightening and full of passion. A religious quote perhaps, or possibly a quote from a song or poem that has gotten you through rough times.
I'm sure this wasn't all that helpful, but I hope that I have help put you on your right path. Good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for. :)
