Give too much consideration to visible tattoo featuring husband (9)
I believe the answer is:
overthink
'give too much consideration' is the definition.
(to think too much about something)
'visible tattoo featuring husband' is the wordplay.
'visible' becomes 'overt' (similar in meaning).
'tattoo' becomes 'ink' (ink can informally mean a tattoo).
'featuring' is an insertion indicator.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'overt'+'ink'='overtink'
'overtink' enclosing 'h' is 'OVERTHINK'.
'to' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
