I have 5 tattoos and not a single one is visable when I am dressed for work. I have my lower back, my left rib cage, the tops of both my feet and my right ankle.

I too would shy away from the shin for your first one. Go for something small and somewhere meaty. Nothing would suck more than not being able to finish a large piece because you couldn't handle it! (not saying you can't but everyone reacts differently to the pain, the vibration and the noise!)

Also, find a good artist with good referrals and take your time with it. Listen to their advice on your art as well as the placement. I was originally goinf to get 4 lilies down my side but my artist flat refused to do it because it wouldnt fit well. We went with 3 and I couldnt be happier!
