Avoid making any rash decisions. The bad body art comes from making spontaneous decisions to go and have a tattoo done on a spur of the moment. If you're getting a tattoo because you're drunk অথবা high, rebellious অথবা your বন্ধু are goading you, then you're getting a tattoo for all the wrong reasons and the choice আপনি make is likely to reflect this lack of forethought. Things আপনি will regret include:
Any tattoo that looks like genitalia. Think about that, very carefully but not too long because the answer is simple: Just don't do it.
Anything misspelled (mostly because আপনি were too drunk অথবা high to notice till later).
Anything to do with high school অথবা college (you do realize that it's over soon enough, right?)
Anything that mars your wedding dress, upstages your honeymoon, অথবা gives your children an odd impression of you...
Anything written in a language you're not fluent in. Those Chinese characters might look sexy until a native Chinese speaker tells আপনি what it really means is "object for sale", "I like mold for breakfast" অথবা "horny goat"
Anything with the current squeeze's name on. It might feel like the two of আপনি will last forever but if the tattoo has আরো chances of success in lasting the distance than the pair of you, this is plain dumb. The number one ট্যাটু that artists are asked to cover up, after homemade tattoos, are names. If the person is not dead, অথবা your child, names are usually not the best idea.
Anything faddish right now. A band, TV show, cartoon অথবা comic book character আপনি প্রণয় today may not be something আপনি want to carry around forever on your skin. It could তারিখ আপনি আরো than your Botoxed skin will ever give away...

Slow down. আপনি have your whole life to look at this tattoo, so some good reflection before getting it makes absolute good sense. Most of all, will আপনি be happy with this নকশা in 5 to 10 years time? Think well forward, too. Is your tattoo going to look good even when you're old and wrinkled? Chances are, a tribal dragon, ডিজনি character অথবা Hello Kitty won't. Think about how big of an impact the নকশা has on you. If you've fallen in and out of like with other designs like this before, then wait a few years before আপনি decide to get it.
On the other hand, if a নকশা you're thinking about is something that represents অথবা has প্রদত্ত আপনি hope in a rough time in your life, perhaps helped আপনি find out who আপনি are, অথবা something along those lines, then it might be the right choice, as that monumental self-change is going to guide much of the who আপনি become for the rest of your life.

Consider where আপনি want the tattoo. This will have some influence on the design, especially if it's an intimate design. For any parts of your body that আপনি প্রদর্শনী regularly (and that is a lot of body if you're a bikini অথবা board shorts wearer), then that doesn't leave much মহাকাশ for intimate ট্যাটু that আপনি don't want your grandmother seeing.
Consider how likely it will be that আপনি will need to cover the body area where your tattoo is to go with clothing, অথবা otherwise, at some point. For example, if you're a female, will আপনি feel comfortable wearing evening wear such as backless অথবা strapless dresses if আপনি have a back tattoo?
Think about future career options. Is a tattoo likely to be an issue অথবা even a liability if it's প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে with the expected work clothing অথবা uniform? This may well depend on what industry আপনি intend to work in but remember that with increased fluidity, people are changing careers constantly, so আপনি may not ever be able to be sure what you'll do down the track. Keep this in mind when choosing placement of a tattoo.
4
Spend some time refining the নকশা and choosing one that has meaning for you. Do some research first. Head over to the লাইব্রেরি অথবা a reputable tattoo parlor and look through tattoo নকশা books. What sorts of designs are current, what seem to be timeless and what ones would আপনি ever get in a million years? Some things to ভালুক in mind include: Stay away from the art (known as "flash") shown in the studios, except as inspiration. It is better to go with a unique and original নকশা than a mass market নকশা - "flash" is designed দ্বারা excellent artists then sold to tattoo artists around the country and around the world.
Are there any particular artists whose style really impresses you? What about their work has such resonance for আপনি and is likely to be classic over the years to come?
Writing, in any form অথবা language, should be thought over twice as long. Check and recheck the meanings of any words অথবা ideograms of a language আপনি aren't fluent in. Choose উদ্ধৃতি carefully. If using writing, also be sure to খুঁজুন for a font আপনি like, অথবা create your own.
5
Draw your own representation of the নকশা that you've come up with. Even if আপনি cannot draw, a little practice and patience can get আপনি a good outline, at least. Or, আপনি can use drawing tools on your computer and some Photoshop magic to help out. Don't be overly bothered about your lack of drawing skills, as most tattoo artists will help আপনি redraw and redesign a tattoo to a desired standard. This is a prompt and a guidance tool, to get your tattoo artist on the same wavelength as you.
6
Find a tattoo artist অথবা designer and ask them to make a custom নকশা for you. Many tattoo artists are also conventional artists, অথবা can at least reproduce a traditional drawing, sketch অথবা painting onto your skin. Most artists will do what আপনি want, but also excel in certain "looks." Check their specific portfolios, and compare the different styles: old school, new school, naturalistic, Asian, black and white, etc. If আপনি don't know what style it is you're looking at, ask. Better to know with a giggle, than to be laughed at later with a নকশা that won't come off.
7
Try to get a printout of the final design. Doing this will help আপনি to see how the নকশা will fit against your skin. Look at it against the mirror during daylight and night lights, so that আপনি can get an impression of how it might vary during different times of the day. Pin the নকশা up on your mirror and look at it daily for a few days. Is it growing on আপনি অথবা do আপনি have a nagging feeling that it's either not the right নকশা অথবা that it's close but not quite there yet? Follow your instincts; there is still plenty of time before it's tattooed into place.
8
Try a rehearsal run of the tattoo. Use henna to get a temporary version of the design. আপনি won't be able to see different colors, অথবা certain looks, but আপনি will be able to judge the feeling of a tattoo. Henna lasts a week to a month. During this time, use the opportunity to see how it looks with your usual clothing and how আপনি feel about it as আপনি go about your usual, daily activities. If even a henna tattoo is out of your price range, try the Sharpie option. Crude but still effective for knowing how it makes আপনি feel to have a bold নকশা inked onto a part of your body.
9
Think before আপনি ink. Think about it a lot. When আপনি are certain, wait some আরো just to make sure. Ultimately, a well chosen tattoo নকশা can be a thing of beauty and a confidence enhancement. A poorly chosen one done on a whim can leave আপনি unhappy for all time. Which outcome will আপনি choose?
