How do people just go and get tattoos especially large ones like that’s on you FOREVER

Anonymous 1d

A few days after my 18th birthday, I just went and got it. Yeah I knew it was permanent but it has meaning to me and I needed that meaning at that time of my life. It’s been almost 8 years since then. Do I regret it? Kind of. I still really like the meaning, but people have misinterpreted it and made me somewhat embarrassed to have it. Fortunately it’s only visible when I’m shirtless so it’s not a frequent annoyance. But I haven’t removed it because it’s important to me still.

I just recommend anyone considering a tattoo to get it temporarily tattooed on with henna or something like that, and see how most people react to it, before getting it done permanently.

is not the point of a tattoo not your own story? Sure, we regret tattoos because at the time received usually they fit whatever timeline we faced. It’s one thing to outgrow your tattoos, but I don’t think getting tattoos for “others approval” helps the case. I’m sorry you were treated badly for yours though. Honestly, I think tats are one of those beautiful things called free will: either you remove it or stand by it

Thank you. I don’t think I got it for others’ approval. Honestly the issue is more in the design than the actual meaning or fact that it’s a tattoo, but I agree with your take overall.
