Anyone who is planning on getting a tattoo has some things to think about, but women have some things to consider that men don't. Women who want a feminine tattoo that continues to look good for the rest of their lives should give some extra consideration as to what they get and where they get it.
For women, tattoo location is something that requires a bit more thought than it does for men. With aging, and childbirth, women's bodies go through more changes than the bodies of most men. With those changes, the skin in certain areas can be stretched, stretch-marked, or even sag in spots over the course of time. Because of this, no matter how attractive or feminine a tattoo may be, if it is placed in one of those areas where the skin may not provide a stable canvas for the art, the tattoo may simply draw attention to an area that a woman might prefer not to be noticed.
For this reason, I suggest that women choose locations where the skin is most likely to stay relatively firm over the course of one's lifetime. Such areas include the back of the neck, upper back, on the shoulder blade area, on the lower back, and on the ankle. Other areas that have this trait include the forearms and upper arms, although these spots seem to be more popular for masculine rather than for feminine tattoos.
Some very popular ares for feminine tattoos are the area around the navel and on the breasts, but these locations are subject to some rather drastic changes in skin elasticity during preganancy, and to some extent, from normal aging. Even the lower abdominal and pubic area can be subject to change due to changes in the abdominal wall with pregancy and other weight gain. Needless to say, while tattoos in these areas may look great for now, they might not be such good choices in the long-run.
When deciding what to get, the big thing to remember is, whatever you do, DON'T get a tattoo of your lover's name on your body! You may be head over heels in love now, but things can, and often do, change. Most of the time, a name tattoo is a huge mistake.
The possible choices for what tattoo to get are infinite, so it can be hard to choose. Take your time and figure out what you really want, because short of some really painful (and not 100% effective) methods, once you have it, you can't change your mind. I suggest checking as many resources as you can before making a decision, and you might want to look specifically at galleries dedicated to feminine tattoos, if that's what you want, because it will save you a lot of time.
If you are leaning towards a design like a flower, or a Celtic knot, basically you just choose whatever design you like. A little more research is recommended if you are going to use some kind of symbol or Asian language character that might have a meaning that you would prefer not to have permanently inked on your body. Just because the tatooist thinks a given symbol means something, doesn't mean he or she is right. That lovely Asian character that you think means "Beautiful One" might actually translate to "Cow Dung". So, be sure to do some of your own research before getting a symbol tattoo.
