And they don't all have names scribbled on their bodies either. I know one girl who regretted it 10 minutes after having it done and she'd wanted one for years. I don't know how I will have changed in 20 years time, so I'm certainly not going to be flippant with my skin now
and i know many people who still like their tattoos as much as the day they got them. my mom and dad are two i can name off the bat. everyone is different. but when i said "who cares" it was more a reference to the fact they don't have to fret so much because they're not permanent anymore. it's not being flippant about your skin unless you don't think about what you are doing. sunbathing is being flippant about your skin. what i mean to impart is that if someone wants a tattoo then their main consideration doesn't really need to be about how it looks/whether or not they like it when they're 50. i am a huge advocate of thinking long and hard about the tattoo you want to get. you ought to consider it for like a year or so and you should be thinking if it's timeless for you. but if you decide not to get one on the basis of being 50, well, then you didn't want one so bad after all. which is totally fine too i love flawless skin as much as the next girl
