Good decision-making ability is an important trait to have and show at any stage of your life and getting that full-arm tattoo that looked bitchin' during spring break will look absolutely absurd when you're 36 if you're trying to be taken seriously in a professional environment. So girls, if you want a little tat, go for the hip, upper thigh, somewhere you can cover when you need to. Top of the foot tattoos? Why? First of all, ouch, and secondly, unless you're going to wear fugly coverall shoes the rest of your life or invest in good makeup and wear it every day, that thing will be staring up at you and everyone else a good part of the time every day. Think it through is all I'm saying.

However, also be wary of areas that may be augmented during pregnancy!
