I voted for wrist. I'm not a fan of forearm tattoos on women and I think the design is too delicate to work well on such a large space.

I say the inner forearm.  I would want to be able to see the details of the tattoo and risk the ink kind of running together to get it that small.  I would have said wrist if it was maybe one word but I like the idea of the inner forearm and in the warmer months you can always try to find a makeup that will cover it for work if you need to.  I have writing in script on my hip and I love it there next to my lily if you're open to other ideas.

i voted wrist! but i also think it could be very cute across the top of one shoulder... still vivible but only when u want it to be, ya know?

I do like the top of the shoulder idea too.  I was going to say back of the neck but I think that'd be hard to cover up for work if you wore your hair up.

Like I said, I love mine on my hip.  Have you thought about seeing how it would look positioning it diagonally across the foot or something like that? (I'm not sure how it would look with words but you could see how it looks).  

@stephanie63087: totally agree!

Hip tattoos are nice, too (I have a pair of bass clefs on mine) since they're easily concealed and there's plenty of room. I have one on my shoulder blade as well but they kind of suck to hide.

Another vote for the top of your foot. I have one of mine there and I love it :)

This is the very best picture I could take from my awkward angle and with our bad lighting (does that even look like a hip? it'd be easier if my fiance was here to take the picture ). My pants usually hit right on the script or right below it depending on the fit of the pants (they're just pulled down a little more to see it better).  

It is a huge decision.  I have four and I want more.  I know what I want but I have no idea where I want it.  I'm thinking other hip or possibly upper back/side area.  Another option would be up your side?  Sometimes those look really cute I think.

@junebug12: I like that!

I don't think you'd have to worry about the tattoo on the foot tickling, I'm extremely ticklish and it wasn't a problem at all.  I can't get pedicures either, I can't hold my feet still and I'm always afraid to kick someone!  When I got my foot done it tickled for about 30 seconds until the tattoo artist actually started inking me... nothing about a tattoo tickles! Haha. :)

I'm going to agree with MissBoPeep.  It shouldn't tickle and if it does, it'll be brief.  

@lilyfaith: Understandable, I would've hated myself for squirming and messing up my tattoo :) I think I would go for the forearm instead then, or talk to a tattoo artist to see what they think about fitting it on your wrist.  To me it seems like it would be to small of a space, and you'd risk the letters running together.

I vote forearm.  The design is so elegant and flowy, it would be a shame to chop it down and lose those long trailing lines.

If you do go with the hip, be aware that placement in that part of the body can be tricky.  Try to keep as much of the design as possible on the skin directly over your hip bone to avoid distortion as you age (and inevitably gain at least a little weight).

Okay, i am late to the party (as per usual) but here is what I know (a good good friend of mine is a tat artist and this is verbatim what she tells everyone when they are talking tats with her)

-wrists, feet, ankles all hurt like a be-otch 1)because of the bones & 2)because the skin is thinner in those areas. Because the skin is thinner, the ink does not 'adhere' as well, or last as long. If you get a tattoo in one of these areas expect many touch ups over the years.

-hips, stomach, thighs, breasts (or slightly above) and 'love handles' are never a good place for a woman to get tattoos simply because of the child bearing factor. If you're done having kids, can't have them or will not, ever in a million years even think about it, then go for it. However, it pays to think about stretch marks in those areas if you already have had them/are done with kids because stretch marks don't take ink as well either, sometimes not at all.

That being said, I would probably say your forearm is the best place to get it for it looking good, lasting, and not being unrecognizably altered by age/kids.

I'm not a huge fan of text tats, but if that's your thing then you're going to want it done somewhere the ink won't bleed or fade so that it's still legible down the line.

HTH.
