Tattoos are a form of self-expression. They can be beautiful artistic depictions of people. They can tell stories about who people are. One of my friends survived brain cancer. She had never had a single tattoo and then in her late thirties got "gratitude" tattooed on her wrist after going into remission to mark her triumph over cancer. What might seem like scarring to some can be deeply meaningful to someone else.
Sure, there are bad tattoos, you have to choose your artist correctly. You also have to get a tattoo for the right reason. If you get one to look cool, to rebel, or fit in - you'll probably regret it. But if you get ones that have meaning to you - you will enjoy it for the rest of your life.
