get your private key tattooed onto your inner lip (backwards so it can be read in a mirror) and your wallet address tatooed to your Palm ---- You'll never lose it again ever.
What happens if your key got compromised and you need a new one? You'll have to remove the old tatoo first, or your could just tatoo another hidden body part.

Depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
In your brain might be the best if you can remember a phrase.

Paper wallet is the best way to go, preferably in some durable format if you intend to store them long term.
Your coins are just as vulnerable on your PC or a USB stick as they are an online wallet. One drive crash or Bitcoin sniffing virus and you are SOL. An offline paper wallet (preferably stored in a real firesafe or off site) is the safest way to store Bitcoins. Best practice is to keep most of your stash offline until needed, and keeping some online as a hot fund for purchases. Keeping all of your coin hot is inviting problems. They can't steal from the blockchain itself, but they certainly can use security holes to wipe out wallet accounts.

I just have my bitcoins on multibit with a password on it. This gives a double security. I would avoid any of the online wallets because if the site goes down so does your wallet. Store in on your computer or a usb flash drive and your good to go

Im currently running a business where i take payments in bitcoins. Luckily for me business is good for the time being. I would like to just keep my money in bitcoins, but now i feel like i need to consider the safety of my coins. What is the safest option for someone who is not a computer wiz?
