Oh god no.
I am surrounded by them myself.
I would say the majority of my peers have them.
Unfortunately, I haven’t even been able to find a girlfriend without at least one since 2000.
I see them as permanently defacing your body.
And a lot of people regret them as they get older.
The kids show them off, the adults cover them up.
Think about why that is for a moment.
And I’ve seen more poorly done tattoos than I care to count.
Most tats don’t look like the ones on Miami Ink.
Anyways, how long can you go before you get the urge to redecorate your home?
Would you want to spend the rest of your life staring at the same painting in the same place?
If you get a tattoo you will grow tired of it, and it will become like a stain you cannot wash off to you.
And forget about tattoo removal. It’s expensive and it just leaves you with a tattoo shaped scar. A tattoo costs a couple hundred to get, and a few thousand to remove. And you’re still going to be scarred for life.
You should respect your body.
If not for religious or moral reasons, then do it for the sake of common sense at least.
