I've been toying with the idea of getting a tattoo for a while, and now I'm seriously considering getting one for my birthday in June.

I'm super passionate about animals. I'm a zoology major and I volunteer at the zoo. The zoo I volunteer at has three beautiful Amur Leopards. There's about a hundred or so in captivity, but only about thirty in the wild, and that breaks my heart. I want to dedicate my career to conserving endangered species like them, so I think that would be an appropriate theme for a tattoo.

Idea number one is plain black leopard spots, perhaps trailing from my foot to my ankle. I'm pretty open to other locations though.

Idea number two is a paw print on my ear cartiledge. I'm kind of leaning towards this one since it's so simple.

You want to start small with your first tattoo, which you seem to have done. Good good.

You also don't want some placement that's easily seen, or not easily covered up by clothing. Tattoos can and will limit your future job choices, or even your eligibility for promotions, etc. So that's something to think about as well.

Foot tattoos are said to be some of the most painful. Anywhere that's close to bone, has thin skin, or sensitive skin will be more painful that more meaty areas, with tougher skin.

I've got leopard rosettes on my sides. They're among my favorite tattoos so far. They're super cute every time I see them, on myself or other people, so I highly recommend them. 3nodding

I heard your feet really hurt because the skin is so sensitive and thin, but the idea is super cute! What about a paw print on the outside of your ankle, with leopard prints around it?
