TATTOO ADVICE _A guy on reddit offered up some tips…
• Follow the shirt/short rule. At first only get tattoos in the area of your body covered by wearing a T-shirt and shorts. If you regret one, they can easily be hidden with clothing until covered up with a better tattoo or lasered.
• Unless you’re 90% covered in tattoos, do not get anything on your hands, face and neck. You WILL regret it.
• Do your research, especially if you get prominent symbols — religious or political or even ornamental.
• Lay off the Roman numerals for dates. It’s idiotic. You’re not Roman and 99% of the time people get it wrong.
• Same goes for text in foreign or ancient languages. Avoid if possible. If you REALLY want something like that, at least get it checked.
