Not wanting to disagree with our learned friend Phable, but... don't fight the urge!!! (Or indeed his other suggestion!)
My tattoos make me smile every time I see them; they make me happy, I love them - they are my favourite part of me! :o)) I will say, however, that I waited a long time (years) to find the right image for the first one, and once I'd had it done I found another one that went with it perfectly right away. They were the right designs and I don't regret them for one second.
If you found the right design, you'd know. If it's right it will mean something to you, not just something pretty or cute or - god forbid! - fashionable, because those are the ones that you'll hate and regret in a few years (months?!) time. You'll know when/if you see the picture you must have.
I myself am failing to fight the urge for another tattoo; my skin is telling me to have it, and I'm just waiting for the design to find me. :o)
[By the way, heard from tim_wonderland over the weekend and he was having a wild time in the midst of EuroPride in London. I dread to think where he is now...! ;o) ]
