your parents clearly just dont want you getting tattoos ive heard this the opposite way round too "dont get a tatoo when youre skinny when you put weight on it will look silly " it wont because the tattoo will move just the same as where the body fat goes so it will stay in the same position no matter what

But it will be stretched (or compressed) as you gain or lose weight. Take a sharpy and a piece of rubber. Write something on that piece of rubber and stretch it. That is the effect of a tattoo on your skin as it expends. Now while having that piece of rubber stretched, write something on it and let it go back to its original state. It won't be legible. They get stretched, compressed, and faded. Prime example:

SEE! I wasn't totally wrong!! That looks terrible, imagine after 30 years...

I think tattoos should mean something. You see all of these people with random tattoos like Scooby-Doo or their favorite basketball team. I do want one, I have it all drawn out and an estimate was given to me I just don't have the money. All of my tattoos are going to mean something.

I have no tattoo so idk about them I'm only 15 so idk

Well i personally hate tattoos. I don't why buy i've always hated having something imprinted on my skin, therefore i won't be getting one any time soon lol.

Think about this. A lot of people get tattoos because they like something, for example my brothers ex girlfriend got a tattoo of a chicken feather because she liked her chickens. Is she still going to like chickens in 5, 10, 20, 30 years?

You probably liked the land before time, or pokemon when you where a kid. Imagine if you got a pokemon tattoo. How would you feel about it now?

Tattoo's are permanent, your thoughts, likes, and dislikes are not.

Laser removal exist and tattoo touch-ups are a thing. When you get a tattoo, you are supposed to go in for a touch-up six months to a year. If it gets stretched out, get a touch-up. If it gets faded, get a touch-up. Tattoo shops charge you $25 for a touch-up.

Why not go for one, Why not?

Laser removing is expensive and takes a lot of time, and treatments.

When ink expands, you can't do anything to it. It will be blurry like the last picture I posted, nothing you can do.

Once I know I have a stable job, I'm going to get this.
