Tattoos are supposed to be quite personal, whether they're a declaration to the outside world, or simply a pretty design.
So it makes sense that you should get a tattoo on whichever part of your body that YOU want. However, there are a couple of things to consider:
Pain - The first thing 90% of people ask about tattoos is, "did it hurt?".
If you're one of those people who aren't too keen on pain, then I'd suggest picking a part of your body that isn't covered in nerves (like the palm of your hand), and which is far away from bone.
The upper-arm area is one of the most common places for tattoos, and is relatively pain-free.
Visibility - If you're an extrovert, you may want to get a cool tattoo where everyone can see it! The forehead is one example.
However, if you're planning to attend a job interview at some point in your life, then you may want to reconsider that idea. The same goes for neck and knuckle tattoos.
Connotations - Whilst I genuinely believe that people should be able to do whatever they want with their bodies, I'd suggest at least considering what other people may infer from your tattoos, before you have them done.
For example, while a leg or back tattoo might seem fairly innocuous, getting your neck, hands or face tattooed is considered to be "hardcore".
There are negative connotations with tattoos on the lower back area too, although I think it's possible to pull those off if you avoid "cheap-looking" designs.
