But that's because butterflies, hearts & roses are pretty
I've seen some AMAZING tattoos on women that are definitely not flash (no offense to the flash bearers, I am a proud one myself, heh!)... or "girly".
For a gorgeous coffee table book, check out
The Illustrated Woman! I have it, very very nice!
For some images from it, check out the below for inspiration (warning if you are opposed: bit of nudity, but all in good taste):

Can't see as much detail as in the real book, but it gives an idea or two...
I've found some cool phoenix images... Russian lacquer work has some amazing ones
I like the phoenix myself because it is a strong, powerful image... Losing weight, and keeping it off, requires a lot of strength!
As far as totem animals go, I've felt mine are either a lion (Leo birth sign) or fox (my middle name, and my mother's maiden name.)
Maybe a really brilliant Japanese-style fox on my back, with a gorgeous full tail... Hmm!
