Help with a tattoo in french

If you were to get a tattoo that included a sort of saying or slogan in french, what form of the verb would you use?
Say if you wanted to remind yourself 'never forget', how would you do it?
Does anyone know how the french themselves do it?

To me it seems like you could use the infinitive or maybe the tu form of the present if it was a sort of reminder to yourself. But I have no idea.... help please!
ne jamais oublier

simply jamais oublier. Jamais is negative in itself, doesnt need ne-pas.
I would suggest " Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?" as an option

Nope, it needs a 'ne' (but not a 'pas')

Ne jamais oublier.
You could say 'Je n'oublierai jamais' which means 'I will never forget'. Often the command form can be just the infinitive of the verb so 'jamais oublier' works too. That seems more literary to me.

Ne jamais oublier.

thanks a lot guys i thought it would be jamais oublier but it sounded a little bit too much like a literal translation. I like the suggestion of the future form too :]
