Tattoo Remorse

I just read a blog about a man hitting a point in his life where he regretted the tattoo decisions he’s made in the past. Partly because of the tattoos he chose to get, but also because of the placement. It’s like the statements he’s made now have less heart behind them, and it’s a contradiction he is having a hard time with.

It’s pretty obvious that tastes can change, moods can change. Most would agree that when you get tattooed, you need multiple reasons for getting inked, or else your one change of perspective away from falling into the awful place of tattoo remorse.

We love looking at ink here, the good and the wasted. It makes us question in a somewhat superficial way the implications of certain tattoos people get. But it also makes us wonder who changes down the road and who doesn’t. Who fully embraces their decisions, their art (whether ugly or amazing), and lives the rest of their life harmoniously with their choices. We know the person exists who gets an ugly, awful looking tattoo, that has no meaning behind it, and never questions for a moment putting it on his or her skin. We have to believe that person is out there, and it helps everyone with a tattoo stay strong.

But it also makes us think about those who regret their ink, those who get fully wrapped up in tattoo remorse. Does anyone get a jaw dropping piece of art, and hate it 5 years down the road, even though everyone else can’t stop admiring it? How many people change into a different role, like a father/mother, or a mentor, or even “responsible” adult, and struggle to cope with the decision of a wild, 19 year old kid?

It’s subject that hits hard for a lot of tattooed people. But it’s also why people feel such strong admiration for those who get inked. It is in fact a difficult decision to get a piece of art on your body, but know that there’s a whole community of people standing behind you, unquestionably supporting your decision, without ever knowing you, your history or you situation.
