Where?

It's hubby's 63rd birthday in January, he's wanted a tattoo for years but I keep saying no. Now....I'm not saying I will definitely let him, but say I do, where do you think he should have one? And what should it be?

Tattoos are a very personal thing, so I wouldn't even like to suggest what tattoo. If he wants it hidden for the most part, upper back or arms is a good place, perhaps even bum.

I'd say bum - personal to you guys and also apparently they hurt less on fatty areas (not that I'm saying your hubby has a fat bum). Is there an image that means something to you as a couple that he could have?

I'd say yes - you only live once and generally only ever regret the things you didn't do

Ok....back maybe. Bum? He'd probably enjoy that!

Anther bum vote!

Agree on where you don't want one. My girlfriend doesn't want me to get my back tattooed, so we've agreed on that. I started years ago with a dragon on my lower leg. That's an easy place to start, and only gets shown off on holiday etc.

One vote for lower leg now. He does live in shorts mind, so it would have to be a small one.

Well mine does go from my knee down to the top of my foot. Not that I've stopped there. Nowadays I have more 'invisible' UV one's than normal tattoos!

Tats are extremely personal things so really Id say wherever of HIS choosing.
Depending what image is chosen will depend on a suitable 'home' for it tho

As has been mentioned tattoos are (or at least should be) a personal thing. They are representative of something meaningful to the individual. Obviously there are those who just get a tattoo 'cause it's cool' etc. 

I have a tattoo on my lower stomach above my left hip and have a plan to get a couple more possibly one on my inner wrist or may ankle and the other on my shoulder. 

In terms of placement one of the things to bear in mind is how visible do you want it. Is it something for all to see or only in private?

Got one upper arm but fancy another
