You may want to start with a google search of memorial tattoos, with her present. I'm guessing the overwhelming majority will look unflattering to her. Then remind her that tattoos are, essentially, for life.
A former classmate had a pink ribbon, of appropriate scale and anatomical placement, on her left foot, memorializing her mother. It looked very nice, and covered up anytime she wore shoes (with the exception of sandals). Scale, placement and orientation relative to anatomy, and concealability are huge factors to consider.
And pick something unique, other than the usual date & name routine. Something specific to her, or their relationship, that mostly conceal the fact that it's a tribute tattoo. Subtlety over the truck rear window sticker approach, if you know what I mean.
Edit: it should go without saying, but NEVER get a portrait. Ever.
