I am (almost) 42 so my opinion is probably moot.

But I have 2 tattoos- both are very unusual and were VERY personal to me. Because of that I don't hate them but I sure as HELL wish I'd never gotten them.

Why? Because when I got them I never thought I'd be a mother trying to explain to my child why they are a bad idea. Because I never thought I'd be choosing a dress for a formal occasion and have to worry more about what covers up my tattoo than what looked best on me.

There are other ways to express yourself.

*ahem* Explanation for this please?
I mean, when life experience is being discussed, I would expect this comment from say, a 14 year old. I happen to think my opinion are more relevant now then they ever were. Just ask me.image

And, I would agree with Shigs- "ancient" unwanted tattoos are the best example to a young person why not to get one.
