I remember reading the following saying a few years back: “A tattoo is a permanent expression of a temporary feeling.”
I agree with this. Having been around people who routinely get tats most of my life I made one promise to myself concerning tats. I had to be 100% sure I would like it as much in 5 years as I do the day I wanted one. To this day I still haven't found one that I would be that sure about in just 5 years let alone the rest of my life.
