I am 17 now but I have 3 tattoos I want to get. My birthday is in February and I want to get my first for my birthday and the other 2 before I graduate. All 3 of these mean something personal to me. One is a cross, one is a dove for my grandma, and the other is a daisy for my mom. I just wanted to know how long you should wait between each one.

I have been thinking about getting a small tattoo of a purple raindrop with my mothers initials inside the raindrop. I would get it in between my shoulder blades. I was wondering how much it will hurt getting a tattoo there?

On LA Ink, one of the workers told the new girl that is was a tattoo shop not a tattoo parlor, so I want to know what the difference is?
