This one seems obvious, right? But seriously, tattoos are very permanent and you should consider what that really means before you get one. Yes, you can get them removed, but laser removal can be expensive, tedious, and painful. If you're not sure you can handle having something on your body permanently, try using temporary tattoos for a bit to see if you like it. You might realize that you don't actually want ink.
Even if you do want ink, you may change your mind about what you want. Whatever you get on your body will be there forever, unless you choose to go through a potentially painful removal process. It should go without saying that your tattoo should be something you want on your body for the rest of your life.
That really cool design may seem like a good idea to put on your body now, but make sure it's something you'll still want to look at when you're 40, 50 and 60 years old. Take it from me: I have friends with very meaningful tattoos, but who got them removed because they didn't like them after a few years. And I have friends who have silly, on-a-whim pieces that they'll never get removed.
