Don't get a tattoo on an impulse (save money so you can get a really good tattoo with a really good artist), don't get a tattoo of a fleeting fandom/favorite that hasn't been a favorite for a significant amount of time, and hasn't impacted your life in a significant way. And don't fucking get a tattoo when you're super-young.

I've learned these lessons through friends. A former friend got a tat that referenced her favorite band from when she was 13 to 19, and she got it on a special permission from her parents when she was 17. She started regretting it aged 21, lasered it off of her skin, and a year later started planning a new band-related tattoo because her music tastes went through a change. (I was facepalming, and this kind of shit made me understand I was really different from her.)

Personalizing a tattoo is a good idea, too, that way it'll be more special *to you* and make sure you won't start regretting it two weeks from getting it. It has to something that is significant to you not just years, but decades. I wouldn't discourage fannish tattoos but they really have to be considered; not just in what fandom the tat is referencing but the way that it's referencing it.

I saw a guy with this very tattoo at work today! (I work in a library btw.) I hadn't a clue what it was meant to be but it looked rather cool. Now I know its from band but I wouldn't have known if I hadn't seen this secret.
