Thinking of getting a tattoo?

I'm thinking of getting my first tattoo within the next year but i don't want to get just any tattoo. I want a tattoo with some symbolic meaning to me and my life. I want some thing cute and feminine like a heart with a design in my ankle. I also want a tattoo with my mom we both love horses and share that interest and we think that interlocking horse shoes on the back o the neck below the ear. Is this a good idea what tattoos would u recommend and where?
