I got a big Star of David on my arm from a friend when I was 15… then when I was 20 and I thought I was a Rastafarian I got this red gold and green dna strand thing.
Now that my prefrontal cortex has finished developing and I realize that I am a hard atheist, needless to say I have my regrets.
The big decision now is remove them for $$$ or get them covered with something else that I regret 10 years from now /:
Do you regret your specific tattoos or do you regret that you have tattoos? Answering yourself honestly will really help deciding what to do about them.
One of the more beautiful things I was told about them is that tattoos are a permanent reminder of who you were temporarily. They don't represent who you are, they remind you of who you were.
I wish I had never gotten any in the first place, particularly the ones I ended up with. At this stage in life, I could do without the constant reminder of who I was. My guess is that if I continue to change as much as I have in the past 20 years, whatever cover ups I do today will be regretted 20 years from now… so probably removal is in my future.
That's an informed choice, friend. Good luck with however you decide to go about it.
Man there are some really nice conversations on this site sometimes
