You can dream up what you would like for your own tattoo and take it into the tattoo parlor of your choice and have an artist put it on you and when you are showing off your tattoo, you won’t have to worry about no one having the same one, but you may have to worry if someone else wants yours.
You should keep in mind when designing your own tattoo that this image is going to be on your body for the rest of your life. You should take some time in thinking about what you would like to have. Think about your hobbies and favorite interests. Do you have a certain favorite phrase? What is your favorite color? You could go on and on when thinking up sources of the things you like that could lead you to great idea for a tattoo.
Maybe the best way for you to go is to look at a lot of other tattoos to get an idea of what you would like to have.
