Id love yalls opinion on a first tattoo idea. Im thinking about getting a cross on my ribs below my armpit or upper back shoulder. I stole the idea from the jiu jitsu cross OTM shirt. http://onthemat.com/xcart/product.php?productid=623
But id really tone down the jiu jitsu lettering so it doesnt stand out so much. Both Jiu Jitsu and Christ have been such a huge influence in growing up. But i dont wanna one day end up with huge jiu jitsu lettering on me if i ever move away from jiu jitsu. (which is something that i couldnt see at this time period). but i would be ok with it if i had to step away from jiu jitsu and i had some sort of hidden lettering on me to remind me of the huge impact it has made on my life.

A first tattoo on the ribs is gonna hurt! Are you sure you don't want to try somewhere with a little more muscle? Either way it will look good.

Nice avatar.

The cross is more of a "celtic" style. I dont know anything about your ancestry, but that is one thing you may want to consider. If you dont care, that is fine too LOL.

The cross is nice, I like it.
