This might be a strange thing to suggest, I don't know, but this has helped me make up my mind on whether I wanted a tattoo or not.
I hadn't really considered a tattoo until the "you get a lifetime" line got stuck in my head, and I still couldn't really imagine myself with ink on my skin. (I'm comfortable admitting to myself and anyone else that I am incredibly fickle.) My best friend, the one with the tattoo around his wrist, had written on his arms a few times with sharpie, and one day I was just really frustrated, and I wrote "I'm the kind of human wreckage that you love" on myself. And it was like, once I saw the ink on my skin, I just. I wanted a tattoo *so much*. I love the way my skin looks with ink on it. I've since written "you get" and "you could 'cause you can" and a few other things on me, and I definitely want to get something done eventually.
That was a really long and roundabout way of saying, you might consider getting a sharpie and writing your potential tattoo on your wrist. That way, you could play with placement, see how easy or hard it is to cover, etc. Just a thought. Also, it's really fun. :)
And I do think the wrist it a good place. According to my friend, the wrist kind of hurts like a bitch, but it is an easy place to cover.
Wow, that god wordy. Sorry. XD But, yeah, I'm really excited about tattoos lately. :D
