I am thinking about getting my first tattoo and the difficult part is deciding on what the placement should be. One of the few body parts I like are my hips. I think it could look pretty nice and feminine. It would also be very easy to hide. But I heard that it is a very painful spot. I am thinking about getting something that is around the size of my hand or bigger. Is it realistic to survive if it is my first tattoo and I don't know how good my pain tolerance is?
