This document provides tips for choosing tattoo ideas and designs. It advises taking time to carefully consider tattoo ideas instead of making rushed decisions, as tattoos are permanent. Rash decisions like getting tattoos when drunk or high or choosing trendy designs you may regret later should be avoided. The document also warns against names of ex-partners or misspelled words. Taking time now to envision how you will feel about a design decades later can help you choose a tattoo you will enjoy for life.
