I will likely never get a tattoo. But I know there are lots of reasons to get tattoos, and it seems to me that the vast majority of people not only don’t regret but feel good about the tattoos they get. So I dunno, sleep on it, but go ahead and get a tattoo if you really want.
It’s so weird, for over 30 years it didn’t make sense to me, until all of a sudden I knew what I wanted and it just clicked? One thigh and calf piece later and I’m addicted. I get nothing but compliments during shorts season and the Leo in me lives for that shit.
Same, first 20 years of my life I disliked the idea of tattoos and thought I’d never, ever get any. Turns out all that was just society pushing puritan ideas on me and I just had to get over that.
I’m almost tempted to get full body art of the Jojo rumble kana to see if one of the guards starts up, “oh? You’re approaching me? You’re coming right to my admittance stand?”
You do you. I have none myself and am unlikely to ever get one. But I’m pro-choice on it. For adults. Kids should stick with ruining their hair, because it’s a non-permanent way to experience regret. Could probably lead to better choices about tattoos later. Piercings, too.
I have never gotten a tat because I am too afraid of regrets. I admire a good ink job and whenever I see someone with a fresh one I will talk to them about it. But like you it isn’t a thing I would want.
Also agree about hair and clothes. Unless it is totally inappropriate for weather or the situation (yes kids you are dressing up for the wedding we were invited to) I let my kids work it out for themselves. My parents were strict about clothing and I won’t put my children through that.
Lol all of the mid 20’s to mid 30’s hipster chicks with arm sleeves are down voting you.
I have a couple of tats I got with my squad in Iraq when I was in the Army. Explaining those tats to those same younger hipster gals never seems to go over well.
How about ‘never get a tattoo’. Full stop.

I’ve only got one on my inner wrist but it makes me so happy when I see it.
That’s a very odd thing to get tattooed…I love it! heads straight to the local tattoo shop
Why? Are you allergic to fun or something?

Yeah tattoos are the shit! They make these meat bags we’re all trapped in more bearable. My tattoos are my favorite part about me
It does feel nice to embrace your body, and like, make it more “your own”. It’s kinda like expressing your autonomy over it.

For real? Whats the reasoning?
Tattoos are associated with criminals, particularly the yakuza, afaik.

My personal rule is that I can get any tattoo that I want, provided I still want to get it a decade later.
