It might be a good idea to think in terms of not only where your parents can see it, but somewhere that it won't be revealed in a nice dress either. I'm including shoulderless dresses, ones with short hemlines and possibly with cutaway waists. They're quite honestly looking a bit 'yesterday' anyway, and not always things you want to be too obtrusive in certain company too. Tattooed arms, shoulders, necks, and (even worse) thighs and ankles can look a bit unpleasant sticking out above and below the line of attractive evening wear. Safest might be something quite small in the centre of your back, but low (slightly below the waist, or above your bum, sometimes called the 'small of the back'. You'll have your tattoo. It'll show on the beach in a bikini. And you can show it to people you know well of course. But it won't spoil the look when you want to dress to impress. Or maybe a small one on your hip, one side or the other? Even when you are 18 and can do as you please, I'd advise you NEVER to have your wrists and hands, neck or (god forbid!) any part of your face inked. There's no way you'll ever hide them, and it stands a good chance of completely ruling you out of high-profile customer/public facing jobs. Simply because a lot of people really don't want to see tattooed women and the chief executive of the outfit won't risk you. I know media celebs are often tattooed. They are the exception. They don't play by the same rules as the rest of us, and it's ridiculous pretending they do. But it's true that a model or actress just starting out will actually rule themselves OUT of many opportunities by having really 'in your face' tattoos. Get one by all means, but give a thought to where and how visible. In ten years they'll be as out of vogue as any other ten year old fashion. Diffrence is you'll be stuck with them, as they are permanent. Removal is not invisible by any means...look at people who have had them removed. ps. Agree with your other answers...make sure the tattooist knows what they're doing. No kitchen-table bodge jobs and dodgy hygeine practises please!!

first off, make sure the specific tattoo you want is something you will be able to live with for the rest of your life. Make sure that its meaningful (usually those types youll be happier with forever) and that this isnt just a spur of the moment thing.
next (even if this is only about your parents not seeing it) its still a good idea to make sure its in a place where you could cover it up if you ever had to get a straight laced job.
feet could be good because you could wear socks, your back, just make sure you remember to never wear a strappy top around them, and your stomach right up under your boobs if your a female that is, because most people dont wear a top thats short enough to see there.

Somewhere where your clothes will cover it. Whatever clothes you wear, get a tattoo that will be underneath them and not noticed.
Make sure whoever does your tattoo is good and clean. You don't want to get a tattoo that will infect you or look bad, because you're stuck with it.

What is the skimpiest bit of clothing that your parents see you in? Wear that and have your tat done in the area it covers. Otherwise you risk being found out and facing the consequences.
Unless you're considering using a tat artist in a professional business whose work you've seen and know that they're good, I'd advise against having a friend do it. Chances are it won't look cool and look instead like an amature did it. But then you could go have a real tat artist fix it years later and end up maybe on the tv show about it.
