Worried You'll Regret that Tattoo?


So you want that tattoo of a hummingbird

So you want that tattoo of a hummingbird (or dolphin, or whatever), and you're too scared to take the chance? Worried you'll regret it later? I was in your shoes at one time too. So let me give you a tip when it comes to tattoos:

Just get a stupid tattoo right off the bat. As soon as you have it, there's no turning back. You already have a stupid tattoo, so you don't need to worry about getting another one! Because you already have one! (Get yourself going in circular logic, until you get bored and decide to go grab some fish and chips or froyo.

Take a look at the picture above. That's on my leg. There's other things on my leg, but that one is the dumbest. If you know what it's from, good on you! People who recognize get stoked, and I make an instant friend. Is it stupid? Yes. Do I regret it? No. Will I regret it some day? Maybe. But here's the thing...I would rather do what I want to do now and deal with the consequences later (If they ever come at all), rather than not do something I want to do because I was scared of regret. Now take that and apply it to something more meaningful, like skydiving or getting married. It's your life. Do what you want. Don't be scared of regret. I mean, think about it. How long are we all going to last anyway with all these hurricanes and fracking-induced earthquakes? Think about it.

Then go get that California Raisins tattoo you always wanted.
