After my cousin passed away this past summer, I've been looking into getting a tattoo to honor him. I know exactly what I want to get for a tattoo, but I'm struggling with deciding on the placement. I want it to be somewhere it will look nice, but also is easily hidden. I don't want it to be in a place that is considered inherently "sexy" because I would find that inappropriate for a tattoo honoring a family member.
The tattoo is simply going to say "imagine" either in John Lennon's handwriting or in my own.
My cousin loved to be outside and to be barefoot, so the location I've most wanted to get it is on the foot. However, I've heard many tattoo artists won't do foot tattoos, so I've been looking into other possibilities.
So far my options seem to be foot, ribs, or shoulder.
I also just came across a picture of the exact tattoo I want to get and I've never been one to copy anyone else, but I am so tempted to do this: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Any advice? Which do you like better? Any other ideas?

Maybe tattoo artists are different in different locations, but I live in PA and Ive never heard of any tattoo artists around here not doing tattoos on feet. You can always print out what you want and take it to the tattoo shop that you wanted to go to and ask them. The artists usually have tons of idea since its what they do all day long. Good luck and Im sure whatever you decide to do, it will look great! [ elw5039's advice column | Ask elw5039 A Question ]
