What was your reason?

"the" tattoo .. what tattoo? Are you drunk?

I guess he means this tattoo:

cause I though, " how can I look great when i'm 60 with my grandkids on the beach" and there it hit me! an old saggy thing that got distorted with time and that makes reference to something nobody will even remember including me!!

so yeah, that's why I did not get a tatoo.

My girlfriend was not impressed. I did it anyways!

So your philosophy on life must be that the best times are when your old and can't do shit, but the worst times are when your young, creative, open minded and actually have the energyt o have fun. I'm sorry, but that kind of view seems like a waste of youth. :P

Wait, what's fun in a tatoo?

In the same way that I can have fun without drugs that can leave permanent damage to my body, I can have fun without marking my body for no reason. If you can't, I feel sorry for your unwaisted youth ^^

I'm just saying to enjoy your youth, try new things, because from my education in aging and psychology the future is not bright for anyone. Enjoy it well you can because the golden years are in your youth not when your old and weak, and filled with dementia. I also don't no what drugs have to do with tattoos.
The fun in a tatoo is unique to the idividual, yet it showed not be looked at so negatively as something that you will regret.

I didn't :P

sorry, drugs are only there as an other item that marks the body.... I wanted to go with extreem sports... but the injuries in these come from not respecting security measures mostly, so largely avoidable.

For the record, I have nothing against a biceps tatoo for a man.... but any other I just see the bad side (even if I think some tatoos are sexy...), i'm mainly thinking of forearm tatoos (like one of my bosses that hides his with his watch...), neck tatoos, anckle/leg tattos for ladies.... things that people in business suit heavily regret.
