but to each his own! keep us posted.

If you have that mentality then I don't suggest you even get one at all.

I feel all my tattoos grow on me whether or not that is the person I am now. It doesn't matter if at the time it doesn't have that much meaning to you, or me personally rather...because I can always look back, and that IS what holds the meaning. I think it is totally awesome if I am not the person I was when I got the tattoo, because it is STILL apart of me....and I can always have the tattoo to remember that part of my life. Plus, on top of that all..tattoos to me are art, some people pay hundreds of dollars to put art on their walls...well I pay hundreds of dollars to have amazing artist permanently put it on my body.

If you are the type of person to regret, then don't do it. I personally don't regret, but I learn and experience.

Sure, I only have had all my tattoos for a little over 3 years...but I still look at them and get a really good feeling and love them that much.

Tattoos are just a mark in time...

My other tattoos, I was never sure if I would love them forever...and I was never sure if it was exactly even what I wanted; until I did it. Thats just the type of person I am...

..and I like it..

...and in fact, I love it.
