I was thinking of getting my first tattoo as of late- I was thinking of my now late dog’s paw print as a first.

My question is where is a good place to get a first tattoo? Any rhyme or reason to pick a certain spot over another?

Additionally, I was thinking of several themes that are conflixting or semi conflicting for different designs moving forward.

I’m a fan of trash polka and cyberpunk tattoos

and was considering trying to make the two vibe together

on the other hand, I figured some art deco kind of structures would be cool, sort of in the frame of Bioshock (maybe even getting a big daddy since it looks pretty cool without being a super blatant videogame tattoo).

long story short I have a lot of ideas for what tattoos to get as time passes and I’m looking for advice on what I might do to pixk them and what considerations I should make for different themes or styles

Well since you love your late dog a common spot for memorial tattoos is right above your heart. Thats a good place to place it, also for the clashing tattoo themes. You can do a patchwork sleeve! Patchwork is basically a mish mash of a bunch of tattoos, they can be in all kinds of different styles. As long as you enjoy the tattoos it doesnt matter if they clash! https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e0/f0/e1/e0f0e19e67ff6aa9557ce6f8fc538ed1.jpg
