I am totally against getting a tattoo on the stomach because it is very prone to change. You will have stretching and shrinking a lot over time. My tattoos are on my back (near the right shoulder) and above my ankle. I figure those are areas that won't change nearly as much. I also recommend that you wait until you are totally sure what you want. It took me years to be completely sure before I got my first tattoo. When I was your 17 I had an idea I was extremely set on. I think back and I would really not be happy with it now. I'm so glad I waited. That said, I have had the fairy on my back for over a year and I still love it so much. I see a lot of me in the picture I chose, a lot of my past and present. I've only had my butterfly for a few months, but it is done in a celtic knot which reflects my heritage, and I can see myself being happy with it forever.
In any tattoo, just be sure it is something that you will always connect with. Take your time and really think about it. Will you like it next year? In 5 years? 10? When you're 64?
Then, be sure to get it in a place that won't change too much in all that time. Most areas of the back, and leaner areas of the arms and legs are good choices.
Get it in an area with a decent amount of muscle; avoid nerves and bone on your first. It hurts like hell. My fairy is mostly on muscle, and actually felt kinda good to get. Where the wing is over the shoulder blade hurt. My butterfly was excruciating, almost entirely over bones and tendons.
I also recommend that whatever you get has a tiny element that you would settle for if you decide it hurts too much. On my fairy, we started with a tiny flower. If I had decided to chicken out, I'd just have that. You don't want to start with kokopelli's foot and decide it hurts too much. Then you will be stuck with a foot forever.
Hope all of that helps!

Well first off I don't think you can actually get a tattoo unless you are 18. Maybe if your parents sign a waiver. On that, I'm not sure.
Other than that, any tattoo can be stretched or marred by the aging process not just pregnancy, but I would say that area of your body would be particularly prone to such stretching.
Really my advice would be to wait on getting any tattoo because it is permanent. Do you like the same clothes you liked 5 years ago? What about music? Think about what makes you want to get a tattoo and what makes you want to get that design in particular.
If you really must get it. I like the first kokopelli.
