+355 If you're going to get a tattoo, you shouldn't be sitting in the shop trying to decide what you want. You should be committed to something before you get there, amirite?

Absolutely, I'm a tattoo artist, and its so annoying when people just want a tattoo, but have no idea what they want. At the very least you should have a general idea of what you want, so you can discuss it with your artist... If you just want to look around with no intentions of getting anything done at that time, tell them when you come in.

Why does it matter? It's not your body.

Because something as permanent as a tatto should have some meaning behind it. Sitting in the shop and pondering whether to get the Chinese character for friendship or barbed wire around your bicep is just douchey.

If it's not your body, why do you care so much? Maybe they want a decorative tattoo and they will love it forever.

I'm just saying, it's my opinion that it should have meaning. Why even bother if it's just gonna be something stupid.

You don't have to care to have an opinion.

Well it's true. I couldn't give two shits less about someone getting a dumb tattoo. But I can still have the opinion that their tattoo is dumb.

Dear lord. Why would you even.. ono

I totally agree. I hate when I see people just choose "generic design X" off the wall. Like, even if you don't want any meaning behind it, and just want a tattoo for the sake of having one, at least pick a design, and wait a fortnight to be sure that's what you really want.

Agreed. And I love your use of fortnight. 10 points for you.

I see this on facebook all the time. "Thinking of getting a tatoo, ideas?" Yeah, don't get one. Chances are if you're just getting a tattoo just to have a tattoo and it wasn't something you've wanted for a while and has meaning and you just decide you want it and get it done that day, you're going to regret it.
