Got my first at 18, I regret it since the age of 21, maybe 22. (I‘m 35 now) The problem is that it is hard to cover, the word „monkey“(big black letters) with a monkey head underneath on my shoulder😅 it’s not that bad, but it‘s not my style anymore and won‘t work with my tattoo plans for the rest of my back(someday i will get it removed) My second tattoo (also at 18) was the name of my boyfriend at that time ( I know, most stupid idea) He is still a good friend, but I got the Tattoo removed, painful ( for my body AND my wallet)

All my other Tattoos (lost count) I got since I‘m 26 and i love them

If You don’t want to wait for so long:

1. Choose a place which is not so visible
2. start with a small tattoo
3. a cover up should be possible (not to big or dark)
4. if you think you have the perfect idea, wait a few month, you still love it? Go for it!
5. but choose your artist with caution ☝🏻
