While a friend of yours might tag you for fun in a an embarrassing photo or video, it might be watched by your co-workers and your boss and actually land you in trouble. By now I think you get the point.

2. Click on Account
3. Click on Privacy Settings
4. Beside Photos and videos I' tagged in click on edit settings.
5. Here you can choose everyone, friends of friends, friends only or find further options by clicking on custom. If you choose friends only, then photos and videos tagged by you can be seen by friends only. This logic applies for all other options.
6. If you click on Custom where only you get to see photos and videos you've been tagged in. You can also choose to make it visible to certain people or hide it from certain people. Please choose your options carefully and remember to click save when your done.
The safest way to prevent a disaster on FB is to be safe and set your tagged in settings to "only me" this way you prevent others from seeing a photo that should not have found it's way to Facebook. This also prevents others from tagging you wrongly and sharing something that is better kept only among friends.
