1. Don’t get a significant other’s name tattooed on you. Ever.
2. Don’t get a trendy tattoo because it’s trendy.
3. Don’t get a cheap tattoo.
4. Speak up in a tattoo shop if you don’t like something being done.
5. Take a breath and slow down. You don’t have to get everything you want right away.

"I wish I had someone in my 20's to tell me to not get tattoo's".  There were plenty, you just didn't care what they had to say.  So it's on you 100%

The best business practice is to have a Tattoo Business and alongside it, a Tattoo Removal Business. You become like the government or a deceiving corporation: You create a problem and then you provide the solution. 😂😂😂

Punk and metal were mainstream at the end of the 90's through like 2010. A lot of people who otherwise never would have gone down that path(normies) found themselves in that situation. I'm in my 30's and I still love being tattooed and getting tattooed Its constantly changing the contours and look of my body. It's not for everybody.

Only tattoo I “regret” at 40 is the very first one I got. It was a “yay I’m 18” tattoo. Has no real meaning and isn’t really artistic in anyway. My mum is pushing 70 and started getting tattoos after I got (imo) my most beautiful tattoo. I’m lucky that my school doesn’t care about tattoos (as long as you’re not rocking face or hand tattoos). It’s really about getting them for you, not the trend. I personally wouldn’t encourage anyone to get a tattoo before 25-it’s that underdeveloped prefrontal lobe again!

I got my first tattoo at 25. The next when I was 27 then one at 35. ALl on my back When I turned 47
Last year I decided to get one on my hand. A year later my arms are covered and I’m getting more at the end of the month. I’m in a job where it doesn’t matter how tattooed I am. My employer has a go at me for getting them. He can’t stop me. He can’t fire me. People like them. Customers ask me about them. They give me suggestions on what to have next.
I waited. I waited til I was 47
To get time where they can be seen regularly. My
Mother hates them. Luckily for her I’m the one with them and not her.

I am 65 and when i was around 28 i got shoulder tattoo, also my tounge pierced, three more ear piercings, my shoulder had my boyfriend's name under it. I later got that covered with a vine of flowers.
My belly piercing lasted maybe 8 months and i literally ripped it out getting on my horse bareback and he balked when i had my belly on his back, the tounge piercing is still there, i check every once in a while to see if its closed. I really regret the tounge piercing because i literally ruined a couple of molars. It really didnt show up until later. My father died at 83 of cancer with all of his teeth. I never even had a cavity. Now i need alot of dental work in the back because of the piercing.
It was cool back when i did it because not hardly anyone had them especially women. Now everyone has them

The First Lady actually had cool tattoos on her arms

I'm very glad I waited until I was 25 to start getting tattooed heavily. My first tattoo I got around 21 and the only thing I regret about it was the artist I went to, and how cheap it was, oops 😅. I'm 31 now and truly don't regret any of my ink 🖤

I'm 72. If clothes were like tattoos, I'd be stuck  wearing bell bottom pants and leisure suits for all my life.

I once worked at a place that let people with tattoos work with no problems. One in particular was a man who did time and he was covered from head to toes with tattoos.

I had a tattoo in my mid 50s which symbolises a very important thing in my life and I will never regret it because it isn’t decorative but it means something very significant

during my younger years I used to be in a very strict religious group, it had a lot of rules including no tattoos

I'm glad I never got any tattoo nor do I plan getting any in the future because I later recognized in myself that I have a wish-washy personality and I can easily get bored. So getting a tattoo potentially could be an instant regret or regret after a few years with me. Hiding them also at work is too much of a hassle that I am not willing to deal with everyday

"be sure it's something you won't grow out of"... That shouldn't exist, it is healthy to generally grow out of who you've been, periodically.
And here's the thing, for years I had that hostile attitude of "oh, I'm special, I don't regret it, you were just a stupid poser if you do regret your tattoos". That's exactly what shows you've not grown up.

When I let it strike me I did regret every one of my tattoos, as a now grown up woman, fully hardcore tatted, who's done looking tough. And it has become really obvious to me that only hostile grown ups are not regretting their tattoos and dying on that hill, which makes sense.

I've always wanted tattoos and actually saw them as just art. In my early 20s as a young Christian, I decided against them. Then I suddenly had to urge to show my creative side and got my first tattoo at 26. My very last tattoo I got was when I was 31. I'm now seeing myself differently and realizing the spiritual significance of tattoos. I'm removing most of my tattoos now at 32.

I'm 40. I never got one, never wanted one, and I'm glad I never got one.

One- their tattoos don’t fit the “trends” anymore.

Two- these people what it seems to me, is that a lot of them are Americans who have never had parents who had tattoos or grew up around the culture of tattoos and done it to “rebel” against society.

Listen, tattoos aren’t for everyone. But don’t get a bunch because it’s trendy. Do it because u love the culture and the design.

Tattoos should be just a  happiness too   / everyone always acts like it’s a sad thing to do  you too hard on yourselfs.   Get something that’s not regrettable

Well I’m 46 and I’m heavily tattooed and I love my tattoos, the people who begin to have tattoo regret should’ve never gotten tattooed in the first place for some people it’s a lifestyle and for some people it’s a trend

I am 21 and starting to tattoo myself I do this to resemble a transformation of myself from who I was to who I can be and every time I look at them I think of the old vs the new.
