I’m becoming more and more resolute on getting a tatoo for my 50th birthday (in June).

As this would be my first one, I thought I’d just pose an open question: is there anything I should think through regarding size, placement or other aspects. Happy to get advice from people more experienced. I expect there are many rookie mistakes to avoid.

The tatoo will be Africa-related and likely involve a map of Africa. So, yeah, I have not decided on the artwork yet.
