Tattoo advise or picture ideas needed

My dad, my daughter, and I all love star trek. My daughter was able to secure a full scholarship based on a paper she worked on for years. Is was a research paper about the perception of handicapped people and their accommodations in star trek VS USA at the time of the series... I promised her that if she was able to get a scholarship I'd get a star trek tattoo. My income has been just bare bones paycheck to paycheck for years. I now have enough money saved to get tge tattoo. I've never gotten a tattoo. I want the Enterprise NC 1701. I'm trying to find pictures of other's tattoos of this, and have already scheduled a consultation with an award winning tattoo artist next week. Another thing I need advice on is location. My daughter says that the upper thigh is less painful, but I'm thinking shoulder would be better... any input would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
