@JasonTO I wouldn't worry about it at all. Tattooing is cyclical and even if that is the first time you have seen or come across that type of placement for that idea I assure you that it has been done before many times over. The challenge here is for the artist to take the same idea/placement and make it fresh and new without utilizing or biting off of the work that he has done on previous clients. In all honesty it's what makes tattoos so special. You can come across the same idea and even placement of a tattoo on a person and it will still be 100% different and unique. 

If this was the artist you have most of your work from I'd say stop asking us and ask him/her. Say you admired the tattoo and placement and wondered about getting something similar.

Hell, I have a dragon tattoo on my ankle... (or just above it anyway). 

Why would the perception matter and why are there gendered rules on tattoos? Or anything?

I got it at Three Tides in Tokyo from https://www.instagram.com/bangganji/

Somebody with one Celtic parent and one Japanese parent might disagree! :)

Summer is over...and winter is coming. Time for us to get the tatts!
The real tattoo season is now declared OPEN !! 

Yeah, I always get sad when summer ends. But in the spring I come back to life. Sometimes when warm weather finally comes in the spring, I think "Oh, Boy! Tattoo season!" because I see so much new ink popping out on bare arms and legs.

you can get tattoos wherever you want. you get the tattoo, you wear it, own it !
i've got a butterfly tattoo on the back of my neck, sounds pretty feminine but it definately does not look soft haha.
 

Just get a dragon.
 
 

Dragon by Nick Coella, guitar by Mario Desa- both at Great Lakes in Chicago.

Love that Octopus!

there are no rules,and I have both my ankles done.
 

as @Dan said, there are no rules.
 
however, if you are getting something small on your ankle its worth considering that it may get in the way of something bigger at a later date!
