Durability-wise? Pain-wise? Covering or showing-wise? Where did you inked your first one?

Upper arms and shoulders is what I did and it's worked out well, my tattoos are all from over 30 years ago (back when it was very unusual for a woman) and have held up so well.

My advice is - pick a good artist and go bigger than you think, the bigger ones hold up and are a better fit for the technology, media, and surface. People think small and discreet and that just turns to mush.

I did arms and shoulders for longevity because those areas are easy to cover and unlikely to grow and shrink with weight gain or loss.
