I got my three tatts over two years ago and I don't regret them for a second. I decided what I wanted, and waited six months to ensure I wouldn't change my mind, then I got them done.
I will never, EVER have a crappy little dolphin or butterfly or tiger, or any Chinese symbols on my skin.
That's cool on avoiding the overdone tats. I change my mind too much to be wedded to something for life. lol
Dolphins and butterflies are cute, but they mean nothing to me at all, so I would never get those. Other people do and I don't understand why.
My tattoos are all of songs I like - Bon Jovi songs. All are on my arms, in plain view. I decided what I wanted, and where I wanted it, and once six months had passed (the six month rule is a must) I got the first one, then the following few months I got the other two.
I want one more so I have two on my right arm and two on my left.
Some would say that in 20 years, I won't like those songs anymore. But all of the songs have been my faves for well over a decade. No chance of me changing my mind!
