First tattoo, I need help with colors and placement.?

I am getting my first tattoo soon. I am getting a lotus flower and a snake and possibly a water aspect weaved into it as well. I would like to get an albino ball python, yellow and white, and a red lotus flower. I will probably position it on my back somewhere.





Do these colors easily bleed, or fade? Are these good color combinations? I have a medium fair skin. Would these colors work well on my skin tone?





These symbols are important to me. The snake represents change in my life. I don't look at myself as I change once and am finalized like a butterfly, but constantly shedding my old skin for new. Always changing, never the same.





The lotus flower is a prominent symbol in the Buddhist religion which I try hard to follow. It is a beautiful flower that grows out of the mud in ponds, comes out of something dark and nothingness and still makes it through to bloom into a beautiful creation.


The water would go along with the flower as well as water being an important aspect in my life.

The tattoo artist will know which colors are best to use. Let him/her know what you want and see what he/she suggests.
Reply:I have a red and yellow rose on my ankle (colors blended together) and it really does depend on how much sun will be exposed to it. I've had it 9 years and you can barely make out the yellow and I've seen yellow fade on other tattoos on other people. If you do get it on your back and not exposed to sun excessively I think you'll be fine. Sounds really pretty.


Its true what they say, once you get one, you'll want more!!!! Have fun.
Reply:sounds nice! i think it may look nice between ur shoulder blades, yeah i would keep it outta the sun and if u are in the sun make sure u put loads of cream on it help protect it, also id the ink used it good quality it will look better for longer,








you could also try out a couple of place where ud like it, maybe get a stencil or print out of it n get a friend to place it in a couple of places see where looks best if ur not 100% sure :)
Reply:the lotus flower sounds pretty!

i like wrists and ankles personally
Reply:U don't need help you've done your homework u know where you want it. U know what it all means(well planned) all u need 2 know is does the colors easily fade or bleed.I would say no....Fading depends on how oaten you're is the sun.I think your OK.
Reply:Don't get a tattoo. The human race I thought had advanced far enough where they didn't feel they needed to treat themselves as a bill board, or a need for permanent ID on their bodies, such as we do to cattle. If you must get something, get something that comes off in 2-3 weeks, I think they have those out their. Finally, when you get into your 40's plus, and your skin starts to spread if your fat, or wrinkle if your skinny, think how you will look. Trust me, you will regret getting permanent ink on your wonderful God given body.
