Opinions needed on placement of tattoo please?
So I want to get a tattoo of a bluebird flying holding a chain with a cross and a ring on it in it's beak (the cross and ring belonged to my grandparents). I want it on my lower back but the thing is I already have a tattoo of a lily on the right side of my lower back so I don't know where to put the bird for it not to look awkward...
please no rude comments about "tramp stamps", I appreciate it
I would love any suggestions you have, thanks so much!
I think that the bluebird would look really pretty next to the lily. As long as it's kind of to scale.
And it should look okay off-center.
But if you don't want it beside the lily, I say put it on a shoulder blade. It will look great there too.

Feeding Wildbirds In Your Garden
SEED CAKE
First choose your container, half coconut shell, yoghurt pot or margarine tub etc., then punch a hole in the base and knot in a piece of string for the purpose of hanging the finished meal.
Collect your ingredients as follows:
Mix all but the fat together in a bowl. fill your chosen container to two thirds full with the mixture.
Pour on the melted fat.
Leave to set.
Hang up for the birds.
An alternative to hanging is to turn out the seed cake directly onto the bird table.
SCRAP PUDDING
Choose a container to use in the kitchen as a scrap box and leave in a convenient place ready to fill with:
Finely chop all the ingredients you have collected, then make up as for the seed cake and hang out for the birds.
OTHER IDEAS
Potatoes cooked, particularly jacket potatoes - skins will be picked clean.
Bread or cake - pre-soaked to prevent swelling once the bird has swallowed it.
Pasta and rice - pre-cooked to prevent swelling.
Cat food - small amounts for the meat eaters.
Windfall apples- I usually peel and quarter them.
Raw pastry stuck on to the fence, on a bird feeder or in a tree, can be rolled in wild bird food, or finely chopped food scraps.
FOR HANGING
You can buy refillable containers for peanuts and seed, make sure that the nuts you buy have ‘approved' stamped on the packaging and a good mixture of wild bird seed is best. You can also buy fat balls from pet shops if you haven't time to make the bird pudding yourself, these need to be squeezed to loosen the filling before hanging them out for the birds.
WOODEN POSTS
If you have wooden posts in the garden you can bore in some holes and fill them with the following:
WATER
Remember fresh water (kept from freezing in Winter) is very important, not only for drinking but to enable the birds to bathe and preen to keep their plumage in good condition. A shallow container is best, (I use an old grill pan) with stepping stones in the base.
Only put out as much food as the birds can eat, leftovers must be removed to avoid attracting rodents! Keep your feeders and bird table clean in order to prevent bacterial infection.
Now sit back and watch, see how many different birds visit your feeding stations, perhaps you will attract some you haven't seen before.
