When you treat a tattoo as a whim or a trend, it will age like a trend. If you want a timeless piece of art it requires more careful consideration. Who would want a tattoo that hundreds or thousands of other people have? What's the point? I cannot even begin to count the number of terrible tattoos I’ve wanted in my youth.

Of course, I have a whole sketchbook of poorly drawn tribals that I was going to get, probably the one time in my life where procrastination has seriously paid off. As for flash art, I know four people from my high school that have the exact same piece on various parts of their bodies (one lower back, one bicep, and two on the forearm, but flipped the opposite way). I just don't get why someone would want something generic permanently etched onto their skin.
