don't you ever worry you may change as a person and not like your tattoos or whatever message it conveys? like at age 30--40--50--60--70yrs old?
I do...i once was going to get an eyebrow piercing years ago (i'm now 27), and i'm glad i didn't. i also was about to get a tattoo, which would mean nothing to me now.
i'm just curious.
Some of the tattoos that I have, I suppose I could 'regret', as I am at a different place now. However, they are reminiscient (sp?) of who I am or was at a time, and that is something that I bear no regret for.
I'm beyond the point where I'm so concerned about image or what message I might convey to someone via ink on my body. I don't do these things for other people, and I don't get tattoos to convey a message to others about myself. They are for me, and only for me. I understand that one might have a preconceived notion about me, or might judge me based on outward appearance...however, those are not people I choose to associate myself with.
Down the road, I might wonder, "What the hell was I thinking?"...but then I will have to stop and remember exactly what the hell I
was thinking, and whether it has changed or not, it will be sweet...or bittersweet...whatever the case, it will be a memory...one that is or was strong enough to be etched on my being forevermore.
That, I think, is pretty f***ing awesome no matter what way you wanna look at it.
But that's just me...to each their own.
