Crucial Info and Advice Regarding Ladybug Tattoos
Although not always the case, many people like to get a tattoo that has some kind of story or special meaning to the image. Whether it's a picture of a loved one, a memorable date, someone's initials, or even a favored event, it serves as a reminder of a special person or occasion.
Many people also consider ladybugs to be "lucky", so they believe that getting a ladybug tattoo would increase their chances of having or getting some good luck. Although such a thing is nothing more than a complete myth, if it makes the individual feel lucky or special, then it’s all fine and well.
Tattoo Warning!
Getting a tattoo is absolutely a personal choice, and although input from friends and family should be welcomed, an outsider's opinion should NOT be the deciding factor. YOU are the one that has to live with it—not them. It is advisable, however, to really think long and hard about it before taking the plunge. If you're prone to making rash decisions, getting a tattoo probably isn't a good idea at all.
Although it is a personal choice, it's advisable NOT to get names of partners/spouses tattooed on your body. Tattoos are permanent—many relationships, unfortunately, are not. You really need to be POSITIVE that your relationship is 100% solid before making that kind of commitment. It is worth remembering that tattoo removal or fading is a bigger pain than getting one done!

Obtaining Ideas for Your First Ladybug Tattoo
One of the great things about getting your body inked with a ladybug tattoo is the versatility of the design itself. Popular ladybug tattoo places for women are the back of the leg, ankle, lower back, hip, and wrist. CAUTION: The less fatty the area (such as the ankle/feet), the more it will hurt, and the longer it will take to heal.
One of the recommended methods to acquire ideas for your ladybug tattoo is to check out a whole bunch of pictures as well as conceptual illustrations. Whether online or in a tattoo parlor catalog. The ladybug tattoo pictures above are some of the favorites available online!
Some Vital Things to Remember
Pretty tattoos often come with a bit of "sticker shock" (they can be rather costly, depending on size and how many colors are used). But, an experienced tattoo artist with a steady hand will definitely be worth the money in the long run.
Remember: You get what you pay for!
But if appropriate precautions are taken when considering a tattoo design—whether it's a ladybug tattoo or some other type of design—the pain to your body, as well as your wallet can be minimized.

A Few Tips to Keep in Mind:
- Make sure you LOVE the design before getting it done! You may even want to trace it carefully on the spot you intend to have it with a pen beforehand to make sure you love it.
- Check out the tattoo parlor to make sure it's clean/sanitary. It goes without saying that you don't want to pick up illness from a dirty needle!
- Ask to see the intended artist's work before getting it done to make sure they're capable of doing the design you want to your satisfaction. A more complicated design will need a more experienced tattoo artist.
- In most states, children under 18 are NOT allowed in the tattoo parlor. Arrange for a babysitter if you need to.
- Yes, it hurts (especially on feet!) Yes, you DO need to take care of your new tattoo according to the instructions provided by the tattoo studio or parlor. If you don't, you'll end up with scarring, and your design will be messed up too.
Although there IS pain involved, it's not bad enough that you have to take time off work, etc. (Pretty sure your boss wouldn't go for that, anyway!) Usually, not even a pain reliever is necessary, unless your pain tolerance is pretty low.
