My advice on tattoos is to be absolutely sure you want what you get. Don't get a tattoo based on whether it's girly or not. View tattoos as permanent and get them done by a good artist. Tattoos aren't cheap and removing them or covering them is even more expensive. The goal with ink should be to have a piece that will last you for years. Don't follow fads unless you have a personal connection to whatever the fad is at the moment. (I've been seeing the bird silhouettes a lot around here personally, but that wasn't why I chose to do silhouettes.)
Also if you don't like needles tattoos might not be for you. Many tattoos that are complexed and very nicely done are completed over several sessions, which can be hours long. Many tattoos will also need touched up years later depending on how well you retain the ink and if you care for your new art well.
I saw you mention mirco dermals. Research them. A lot. And find a piercer who knows what they are doing. Make sure you get the correct jewelry with proper anchors or they are a painful waste of money and infection IMHO. Personally after reading about and speaking with piercers about them the rejection rate was too high for my tastes. Way too high.
i know i hate needles, but im absolutely willing to get them if i feel like i need it
like when i had a kidney infection they had to give me a shot in my butt, i came out of the doctor's room wailing like ive been tortured
but donating blood, i kept those fears down because i knew someone might need my blood or whatever, its for a good cause so i manned up and did that crap
same with a tattoo, if i want it, ill get it and ill never NOT want it
ive always been like this.. i hope i make sense
