Design My Own Tattoo - How to Design a Tattoo For Yourself
1- The colors

2- The location
Another extremely important aspect of designing your own tattoo is first knowing where you want to put it. Some tattoo's look great across the back, while other tattoos will look horrible. If you want to get a tattoo on your back it is best to get something that is small enough to fit right behind your shoulder or big enough to fit across your whole back.
3- The actual design
Obviously, when getting a tattoo, the design is the most important part. For all the guys reading this, you are best off getting a design that is manly, but not too many that it just looks like you are trying to show off. For women, anything cute and cuddly such as a fairy or heart will work. ( By David Wesenburg )
