    I always found tattoos and some piercings cool but I'm the type that never got them. Just not my style and nothing screamed at me I want that which I wouldn't change my mind after a few months and then regret it for years lol.
    Now I'm thinking should I tattoo a reminder somewhere I can see it troughout the day like somewhere on the arms. Something like this [​IMG]

    Then again I'm not sure I should risk somewhere clothes don't cover as some jobs require no tattoos, then again again I'm not in that field of work lol but you never know?
    More importantly, there's a good chance this is just a whim of mine and I'm afraid I'll ignore this reminder and have another regret... ideas for better similar tattoos and tattoo place and advice plz

    Word of advice, don't.

    If you must, just play with those erasable tattoos.

    They have tattoos that only last a year
    And I find the work force a little... some tattoos have extreme sentimental value. But if your doing it for the style, unless you’re adamant I don’t think you should.

    Piercing is one thing, but tattoo is something else.

    There's almost no going back once you've done it, at least not smooth enough.
    One thing you should consider is that we as a human being will grow, both physically and mentally. If you ask me, I'm the type of person who would cringe so hard after looking at myself in the past, like why tf am I doing this and that, you know what I'm saying?

    just get a leather bracelet or another accessory that says it (/have it made). See how you feel about it after a few months.

    Dude, this just begs for some asshole to make a math diss, " oh is your mind divided with the matter your brain takes up? Not much left from more than breathing." Or some way better insult, can't think of any right now.

    Either way, super embarassing and long lasting, just get something temporary for a trial run if you really want a tattoo.

    I pierced my self many times. But having a tattoo, that's a no. It looks cool, but it dirty the skin. But if you really want to get a tattoo tried having a hena first. It's erasable.

    But if it's just for a reminder– suggestion, bro. Buy a bracelet or a necklace and engraved it there.

    It's better than engraving your own skin.

    I like tattoos too. But can't get one due to my background. My advice is to use erasable tattoos if you really need one.

    I always found tattoos cool but never got one. Sounds stupid but I feel like I will tarnish my pretty skin. Also think about how the tattoo will look like in 30 years, skin wrinkled and all..
    Plus the big fact that you will definitely cringe at it, especially if its written words.

    I just finished my, never gonna regret it. And sadly tattoos also not permanent, depending on your healing and skin usage its gonna fade. The new inks are really shitty.
    P.S. Ink Master, its such a shitty scam show.

    Palm is a no-no. Palm and hand tattoos die really fast.

    I suggest you sleep on it again for couple of months and see if that particular design or even the notion of tattooing still matters that much lol. As a designer I admire people who has nicely designed tattoos but I also know a typeface that looks pretty today would probably look super tacky like how we see fashion/designs from the 80s or 90s.

    so unless it has a sentimental value, please reconsider

    Honestly, I wouldn't do it. You'll look back in a year or two and go what the fuck was I thinking?
    It's the reason why I didn't get any tattoos. What I like this year is very different to what I'll like next year.

    I had a guy at my HS who got a henna tattoo on his forehead... Kinda Gaara style.
    Damn, did he work hard to scrub it off...
    IDK exactly how much shit he got for that, 'cuz he was 2yrs younger, but I remember he suddenly started rocking hoods and doing his best to cover it up with hair which he was trying to grow out at the time anyway.
