    So don’t get tattoos of things you like. There’s plenty of reasons to get tattoos beyond just “beautiful expression.”

    I know a guy who got his wife’s phone number tattooed on his foot, just in case he ever doesn’t have his phone on him.

    My brother got “Ouch” on the inside of his lip because it was funny.

    My wife has multiple tattoos of bullshit flash because the artist offered to do them for free and she likes the way getting a tattoo feels.

    If you want a tattoo, just get a tattoo. If you truly end up hating it down the road, plenty of artists specialize in cover-ups.

        Then get a picture of a tattoo, and whenever you ask someone if they want to see your tattoo, just show them that picture. Way less commitment.

          I am just like the above poster. I have no tattoos for the same reasons. But sometimes, I think about getting some kind of simple picture(s) with just bold black lines put on my left arm. That way, I can change it up if I feel like it. Also, I’ll always have something to color when I’m bored.
