I'm going to get something like this in pinks and purples on my inner left wrist. I need to be able to talk about it without being completely emotional when I get it, though.
I have this in almost the exact same location that you want yours .... I love that yours will be in pink and purple. It will be truly beautiful. (heart)
i want to get the chartres labyrinth on my shoulder blade next. it's going to suck because it's all a million little lines and curves and stuff.
The shoulder blade was the worst part of mine. Felt like he was dragging a serrated blade across my bone, and half of my time was just spent on the shading and tiny lines in the feathers. It did indeed suck.

So since we have tattoo folks in here-I want to get something for Eleanor. There is the cost of arms of Eleanor of Aquitaine or the star position for the constellation of Gemini ( she's a Gemini like H).
The rose was my great grandmothers favorite flower, so me and my mom got tattoos in her remembrance. I also have a star on either hip, I got those when I was 18. After having M I kinda wish I hadn't, they're lower than they were originally. Lol.

I love the one on my foot, it's a line and the piano sheet music from "Eleanor Rigby" - The Beatles. The one on my wrist is only a couple months old aaaaand I broke my arm and needed surgery within 30 days of getting it so it looks extra interesting now! I also have 9 more.

Oh I have way too many to post all of them, but here are a few of my most recent ones:
this is brand new, getting color added next week.
My right foot/ankle is dedicated to my dad, who died almost 7 years ago. I have a peace sign on my big toe (he had the same), his birth/death dates on the top/side of my foot, and now this garden gnome, since he's the man who inspired me to also be a gardener:
(sidenote - my dad was also a huge fisherman, though not fly fishing. Like father, like daughter. In so many, many ways...)
I love seahorses and Mexican folk art. Seahorses forever:
And just for fun because I love this picture, I have 5 paw prints on my left foot for five lovely mutts who became earth before me. I need to add kitty whiskers.
I also have a hummingbird on the inside of my left upper arm with a huge swirly tail that says "this is not permanent". A frilly swirly cartoony fish on my right hip. And the worst of all, the awful tramp stamp I got when I was 15 with a fake ID that I got for the sole purpose of getting a tattoo. Not drinking. Good girl with a wild side, I suppose.
Next will be a bunch of things that represent/remind me of my hometown. Half sleeve, right arm. There will be various things, including a beach sunrise, the Harbor Bridge, tropical flowers and Mexican tissue paper flowers/streamers (like this: ) all around it, the words "como la flor", a sanddollar, all with a Mexican folk art vibe to it.
I remember one time I got drunk and thought it would be awesome to get a tattoo of my cat's paw in some inconspicuous place. So glad I didn't follow through with that.
"I regret not getting that tattoo that seemed so meaningful to me when I was 19" said nobody ever.
I wanted to get my sorority's insignia as a tattoo when I was 19. Because sisterhood is FOR LIFE!!!!!1

Ooh, I have two more handy on my phone.
The snowflakes on my arm came because I was living in Texas, after growing up in Alaska, and I was homesick during the winter... so I brought my own snow!
Smurfette is my dad's nickname for me (he collects Smurfs) and I got it on a visit with him, a year after I'd moved away.
The shoulder blade was the worst part of mine. Felt like he was dragging a serrated blade across my bone, and half of my time was just spent on the shading and tiny lines in the feathers. It did indeed suck.
awesome. i want to get it somewhere that would show in like a sundress/swimsuit. i'm afraid a middle back wouldn't really work. hmmmm.... how wimpy am i feeling?
If I can do it, you definitely can. I'm the biggest wimp on the planet.

I won't, but if I ever did, it would be a science-y tattoo like one of these. Some kind of molecule or possibly a constellation. Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted
Eta: The second one (supposedly) says something like "I am star stuff" spelled out in amino acids. And I love Carl Sagan so I like that idea.

I have had this for four whole days! I love it so much! I am obsessed with starfish and the legend of the starfish (basically we can make a difference one person at a time). The ribbon is for my mom and my MIL, who both battled breast cancer.
I've got a few stupid ones that I won't show. Of the ones I like, I have "IV" on my wrist for DS (he's the 4th), a fox on my ankle for my granddad (his lastname) and I have this on my thigh, please excuse the Instagram filters - I got carried away. Other thigh is getting done for my birthday.

I have a black cat on the outside of my thigh.
If I had a different kind of job, I would get "I must not tell lies" in my handwriting as a white tattoo on my right hand OR a dark mark on the inside of my left forearm, but I would get all sorts of judged and side eyed if those were visible.

I have the outline of a star on my foot which is a matching tattoo with my BFF. I have a "tramp stamp" that I get in college. I still like it, luckily.
I want this on my inner arm in memory of my Grandma:
I want this across my upper back. The 3 birds will be different shades of blue to represent my daughters and myself. I will add "Don't Worry About a Thing; Cause Every Little Thing is Gonna be Alright". I sing "Three Little Birds" to them all the time
I will also be getting the word "Really" on the inside of my wrist. A little inside joke between H and I.
