How I did it: I designed the tattoo myself, using a symbol that has a lot of meaning to me. I also chose it to be in an area of my body that won't change very much in the future, and distort the tattoo. 

Lessons & tips: Choose a design, or design something yourself, and hang it up someplace where you see it everyday for a few weeks/months. That way, you'll know if you like it in the long term.
