Hence why I referenced medical studies relating to the development of cognition. That stuff isn't just some bull I made up, its medical fact, and medical fact says that the chance of you changing into almost a COMPLETELY different person by the time you hit your mid 20s, is actually really, really likely. I'm 23, and I can safely say I'm a completely different person to who I was 5 years ago. I can say the same about everyone I know.

In fact, the change in who people are, between 18 and 25, is so drastic you wouldn't believe it.

And I dunno about you, but I don't think making an IRREVERSIBLE life decision when you're in that situation, is a good idea. Neither does anyone else here, including plenty of people who have tattoos and who like tattoos, and more significantly, people who have a lot more experience of the way people judge other people BY their tattoos, by virtue of being older.

This is a thing that nobody wants to regret, and the majority of people here are speaking from long experience when it comes to how likely you are to regret the decision.
