To tatt or not to tatt

So here goes.
My birthday is approaching and I am considering getting a tattoo. The "good girl" that I am is caught up between my family's utter disdain for body art and my own indesciveness. I can't commit to a pair of shoes per day, how am I to decide on a marking for my body permanetly and where?
I am considering "Up Once more old tired heart" an Emerson quotation which has resonated in me since the first time my dear friend said it. "Up once more old tired heart" interpreted as a beautiful description of the experiences of life and how to continue to forge on, collecting and recreating, cataloguing and understanding this world. I would like to put it on my left ribcage underneath my arm, in that oh so tender smooth skin. It was recommended as I am right handed and will therefore be able to touch it, fingering and retattoing the impact of those 6 words. And of course there is Emerson, possibly I will create a divine connecton between me and Emerson from his words being scrapped into my skin..or just a rash.
Should I go forth and declare my love of Emerson and those six words in a physical manifestation or should I continue to pine away? Should I place it so far from most people's sight so its mine or should I put it some place more publicly?
