Anyone mind throwing ideas out for first tattoo?

If all goes as planned, I'm going to be getting my first tattoo this summer. I think I already know body placement. I either want it on my shoulder blade or the inside of my forearm. I don't want a big one either...something 6" X 6" at the most. Even smaller hopefully. I have a general design in mind. I want the magic mushroom incorporated but not so it is the main piece of the tattoo. You know what I mean. I also want some nature scenery of some sorts, even if it's barely noticeable. I'd also like some sort of animal.
My idea right now is a picture of an eagle, swooping down in an open field in a forest, and having a colourful mushroom being ripped out of the ground. Have a few trees behind him and some simple light grass in the field part. dunno something like that.
I was wondering if you guys could throw out some more ideas. Direct me to some art? Draw something? Any help would be most appreciated. If you wanna post a random tattoo or design or idea...post it

The best person to draw something up is a tattoo artist. They know what will look good on skin and what won't.

^^^My philosophy exactly.
Personally I don't think you should go trolling for tattoo ideas. Its a personal thing that will be with you for the rest of your life. If you don't have any ideas then don't rush into it. Eventually the ideas will come to you. Then when you have something that you want, wait even longer to get it. Sometimes an idea grows cold. If you have a tat you want and your still jonesing for it a year later...then you can start thinking about making it permanent.

This girl I know I got her first tat a few weeks ago. Felix the cat, on her shoulder blade, it looks ridiculous.

I went for one that I wouldnt regret in 20 years. I picked this one because it had personal meaning to me and not just to get one. I didnt want it to be a permenant reminder of a temperary feeling. I was teaching a class when a big ole 12 footer came right up through us and circled around. He looked me in the eye and there was a weird kinda respect type conection. I was in awe, my students were freaked! I told them they had just had a once in a life time when we got top-side. I never even wanted to get a Tat until this happened. This is a bad pic and the tat is past due for a touch-up, but its on my shoulder... Enjoy the experience of your first!

I'm taking a 2 week cruise out of Miami in September. Too bad I don't have any spare time to spend on the mainland. If we like Florida we just might plan a trip back there.

"Iobey the rule that I should be able to wear a t-shirt and a pair of shorts without any tatts showing"
See, and I totally disagree. My tattoo is something I will be proud of and I could care less what other people see. Well, the only people I really would care about seeing are employers. But in the case of having one on my forearm...I could wear a long sleeved shirt to the interview. Other than that, I could care less who sees it.
I've been putting ideas together for over 2 years. I have a general idea that I explained, but I'd just like some other minds in on it...maybe giving some new ideas to add to what I already kinda want.
I know the mushroom is going to be making it's way in, in some form. I'm not sure if I want the eagle though. The eagle has been done so much. But an eagle with a mushroom in it's talons...well that's a little different. I dunno. What other forest creatures could I incorporate into this idea instead? Anyone?

What kind of future employment will you be looking for? I'm not trying to be a dick here but please think about placement like RUNDMT said if you even remotelt are thinking about working and any type of corporate environment that may at some time allow you to wear short sleeves.
Its a stupid, stupid stereotype but it still has a grip on a lot of people, not just us old geezers. People see a tat and immediately think you are on the fringe of society.
I wish you luck in finding a good tat its hard, my first one was a flash(generic design) and I got it because my father had a similar one. All the rest of mine I had designed and a few are now flashes themselves.
Unless you area monster a 6" x 6" tat on your forame is huge looking. and remember to try to fit the design to the area you're getting inked, some shapes lend themselves better to different areas of the body

How the fuck can you disagree with that? What do you know about where I have my tatts?
