Do you think people will regret having a tattoo?

Question

It is not some sort of clothing/jewelery you can put or take off. Your thoughts?

Answer 1

I've got 1 a the top of my back on my shoulder it's a heart with a rose through it and i often forget that its there. i know folk with loads and they keep getting them as they love them

Answer 2

It entirely depends on the person and the skill of the artist. If it's a botch job or something stupid that someone got while they were drunk then yes I can see why someone would regret it. But if it's something that you really wanted at the time and the artist made a great job of it then I don't see the point in regretting. Most people get them done to map out a part of their life, a symbol that got them through the dark times, if someone gets a tattoo with a deep personal meaning then there is nothing to regret.

Answer 3

Im having one next month, its my first. Ive had several piercings but these you can take out, so finding the right design has been a nightmare as i dont want to regret it. Ive had a friend design it, it will be a star with my sons initial in the middle, i had to find something i liked as it going on the back of my neck and i will want it duplicated as i have more children. Its a huge decision. I know i wont regret mine as its for my son, who from day one ive always called my little star, at least being the back of my neck i can cover it with my hair and so as i do get old and wrinkly it will be coverd. I'm 23 and its taken me since i was 16 to decide on a tattoo...had my son at 19 and still wasnt 100% sure until now, its not something you should rush into.

Answer 4

I don't think I'll regret it. I've got 5 and am already planning 6 and 7! When people get older surely they want to remember the times when they enjoyed life. I know I got all my tattoos at a good point when I was happy.

Answer 5

Only if they haven't thought about it properly before they had it done. I've had mine for over 15 years and I still love them as much as when I first had them done. Each of my tattoos brings back a different memory, some of them good, some of them bad but they are all parts of my life and things that turned me into the person I am today.. In fact I love my tattoos so much I'm getting some more done soon:)

Answer 6

I think if people get a tattoo just for the sake of getting a tattoo, later on in life they will regret getting it. A tattoo is permanent and should reflect the person wearing it and if it doesn't, they will probably think, "What a stupid idea that was" later on.

Answer 7

Certainly. Body shape will change the beauty of the tattoo. What looks good on a 18 year old body may not look good on a 40 year old body.

Answer 8

People who have tattoos , obviously wanted it done not they would not go through all the pain of having it done. I would not do it my-self although I think it looks pretty. The skin is marked, although the marks are pretty.I have five pairs of ear-rings[holes]. I will not regret that. No, people will not regret having a tattoo.

Answer 9

Everyone is different. My Airborne tattoo was earned, and I will be proud of it until the day that I die. Everyone has their own reason for getting a tattoo. There is no right or wrong answer to this question.

Answer 10

I certainly do! But only when visiting hospital or docs, I have a tattoo on my boobs and now I am in my 60's it looks rediculous, specially the words(not telling) but it sometimes causes laughter with my mates,who btw also have stupid tattoos. My friend has a "W" on each cheek of her bum making the word WOW .

Answer 11

Ever see how a World War II veteran's tattoos look all faded and spread out? When he was young he probably thought it looked cool at the time he got it.
