Tattoo?

So, for about 1-2 years now, I've strongly been considering getting a tattoo once I turn 18. That doesn't mean I'm just going to get one for the sake of getting one. If I do decide on one, I want it to be thoroughly thought out. It will be a part of my body forever, something I would not mind showing to others, something that I could be prideful in.

The problem is that I don't have an entirely clear picture of what I want, and even once I have that, a clear picture of how I'll get exactly what I want. There are many shoddy tattoo artists out there and it will be extremely difficult to find one who will do a professional, sanitary and unique job. On top of it all, the tattoo artist who may be "just right" will most likely have a steep price. I do not care about the price, though. If there is going to be art embedded in my skin, I do not want to try and save mere money. This is a piece of art which I do not want to regret embedding onto my skin.

If anyone has any ideas for a design or knows of a good artist/parlor, please let me know. As for what I'm looking for, as I said - I'm not entirely sure yet. However, I do have some themes in mind. I'm most interested in the following themes: Balance, Harmony, Yin-Yang, Religion, Nature, Peace, Coexistence, Music, Meditation, Relaxation, Eastern Mysticism and Culture, Risk, Spontaneity...the list goes on. Please, if you have any ideas, give me a hand. It would be much appreciated. I'll try and post some designs that intrigue me, though I know the least bit about tattoos. Laugh all you want. I'm looking for help for a reason, because I'm not exactly a tattoo master. The pictures I post are not a representation of what exactly I want - just a general representation of themes.
