I mean, I've been in love with The Lion King since I was a child. I planned a whole vacation based around seeing Lion King on Broadway. I am never going to not love The Lion King.

AYRT I'm the same way with Sailor Moon. I loved it when I was a kid, I still love it now, and I'll probably always love it to some degree. I even tried to do my hair like Usagi's for a while when I was a teenager. The difference is that whereas at age 13 I would've loved to have a Sailor Moon-related tattoo, at age 35 my love for it isn't anywhere near the same intensity as it was back then. I still do love it - the announcement of Crystal was like Christmas to me - and while I still wear my transformation brooch necklace sometimes, I also can go weeks without even thinking about it at all. I'm not into it the same way I was when I was a teenager, and because of that, getting a tattoo would've been a huge mistake, even though I still enjoy the series and think of it very fondly.

I am almost 30 I still have the same intense feelings towards The Lion King as I did when I was a kid. I still tear up when Mufasa dies. I don't know why getting a tattoo for something you love would be a huge mistake unless you get a giant one somewhere not easily concealed.

AYRT I have a friend who got a (non-fandom) tattoo that she ended up regretting and wanting to get removed several years down the line. It cost her almost $3000 to do so, she said it hurt like hell, and even now a few years later the skin where it was doesn't look normal. Having seen that, I personally think that tattoos in general are a terrible idea simply because of what you have to go through if you decide you no longer want it. You're either stuck with it or you have to go through that, and as far as I'm concerned, that's a gamble I don't think is worth making.

Then you should be real sure. Also, coverups are generally cheaper. Did she get the tattoo when she was young?

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT She got it when she was 27, so no, she wasn't super young. It was something she'd thought she really wanted, but then she got older and got married and had kids and got a professional job. She fell out of love with it and she got tired of having to constantly cover it up with clothing or makeup.

That's cool. If you want to get a Lion King tattoo, you should totally do it. But also realize that not everyone loves their fandom as consistently as you do and ayrt isn't necessarily talking to people like you, who are very likely in the minority.

who are very likely in the minority

How do you know that?

I don't think it's reasonable to assume that most people won't care enough about things (whether they be fandoms or anything else) enough to justify getting a tattoo of them. I don't know why you'd assume it.

I mean, honestly, the whole tattoo conversation is weird because peoples' attitudes are so radically different based on age that it's almost impossible to talk about. There's this baseline mindset that tattoos are bad somehow that I just don't understand.
