i'll never tell you to not get one, i have three, and would honestly get another if it were the right thing and for the right reason, but i do agree get it where you can hide it if necessary..
think long and hard and when you are ready and can accept that its going to be there FOREVER then you can do it..
just remember one thing, a tattoo may seem like it cost a lot to get, but they cost 5x-10x to remove them.. i had a friend go to remove one, and everytime he gets tanned you can see a ghost like image of the black panther he had on his bicept..

(this is what your mother will want to do to you, mine still complains and i am 33)
