You know it's fine that you want to keep your body a blank slate that can seamlessly move into each phase of your life unchanged, but why does it have to be a sign of immaturity when other people don't see it that way? I've always liked the idea of having the things I felt strongly about or the images I loved tattooed on me, I would definitely not regret the tattoo I wanted when I was 17 (but didn't have the wherewithal to get) and I'm 27.
Like personally I will never get a fandom tattoo, but I really disagree with your argument that anyone who does so lacks foresight and maturity. They just have different priorities than you.

yeah, but what about when you're 47 or 57 or 67, though? that's what i think they're getting at. a tattoo isn't like a hairstyle or something that you can change when you get tired of it, you really are stuck with it for the rest of your life.

i know a few of my parents' friends who got tattoos (not even fandom tattoos) when they were younger and now that they're in their 40s and 50s and older every single one of them regrets doing it. i really doubt that just happens to be a coincidence.

I hear you! I know people regret tattoos, and obviously people get coverup tattoos all the time. But I also know older people who don't regret their tattoos. It depends on the tattoo?
Like when faced with something specific (say, a Dark Mark, or the ones the 1D kids get) I can say "I don't think you've thought this through". But to say tattoos in general, or even "all fandom tattoos", are mistakes and lacking forethought is making too many generalizations about other peoples choices and lives.
I know this is kind of a pointless argument (obv some speculation and generalizations are necessary) but I just thought I'd clarify my position.
I think there are too many conflicting messages out there about which choices will *ruin your future* and you will *regret them forever* I guess.
(fwiw I am all for calling someone who gets a dark mark tattoo an immature and short sighted individual)

haha i guess i just haven't met any of the ones who don't regret them yet! the funny thing is that the people i've talked to all thought they were going to be the ones who didn't regret it and that their parents and the adults who told them not to do it were just being silly.

i think it's easy to think when you're 23 that having a biker skeleton tattooed on your bicep is going to be an awesome thing to show your grandkids but when you're in your 60s and actually have grandkids and a wife and a white-collar job at a big company then suddenly it's not so cool anymore.

DA

All of the old tattooed people I know like their tattoos and are still happy to show them off. Also, more and more workplaces are becoming tattoo friendly. I work for a corporation and visible tattoos are allowed as long as they're not offensive.
