I really want to get a disney tattoo! I LOVE Vitani! It's been my screen name for about 13 years, and I would love to get her as my first tattoo. I'm thinking just her head, but I'm not sure whether to go with cub or adult Vitani, and I'm not sure where I would even get it! I'm a woman, by the way. Here are some ideas: http://imgur.com/a/VizsO

But then there's the, "do I really want a character tattoo?" issue. From what I hear, character tattoos "are the worst."

I could always get the Simba drawing with "Hakuna Matata" or something similar, but that's what everyone seems to get.

I've thought about getting the original castle, like this: http://i.imgur.com/giVXl.jpg.

Or, since Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie, something like one of these: http://imgur.com/a/O5njr. I love Belle, but I would feel a little weird with a girl tattooed on me...

Or... since Epcot is my favorite place in the world, seven of the remaining nodes, like one of these: http://imgur.com/a/tPe3n

I would also really like to incorporate either "She lives in you," as opposed to "He lives in you," or "Even those who are gone are with us as we go on," from The Lion King (2).

What I'm saying is, HELP! I need ideas and opinions!

My best advice is don't get a tattoo until you decided 100 percent what you want on your body. Remember it is there forever. Tattoo remove is painful and cost quite a bit. It also is not always perfect and leaves scar tissue. Tattoos are a big commitment and most jobs will ask about them.

Go with whatever means the most to you. Remember favorite movies and characters can change that is why they are bad ideas. How about finding a quote that means something to you and your life. My tattoo says "Those you've known and lost still walk behind you." It is to remind me that my mother is always with me even those she passed away when I was 15. Over the years it also has taken new meanings. I thought over that tattoo for 5 years. During that time it changed from something that really meant nothing to me and into something that I can look at and be reminded for the rest of my life. I went through drawings, did my own sketches, and listened to all the music I owned until I finally found the perfect thing for it. Once I knew what I wanted I spent a year researching shops. I know I spent a lot of money on my relatively small tattoo but I know I went to one of the most reputable shops I could find and got my work done by a respected artist.

So remember don't rush into it. Pick something that means something to you even if everyone else seems to have it. Find a good artist. This is not something you want to cheap out on. And be 100 percent sure you can live with it the rest of your life.

I have a tinkerbelle on my back and plan a daily duck too, what I might suggest is going to the artist you will be working with and have him to the sketch and then you can see what it will look like on your body before you actually ink it. Good luck and have fun.
