I've just turned 18 and im thinking about getting a tattoo on my upper-back. Should i get one or not, any suggestions to what i should get?
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

This is semi-relevant.
You're "nearly 18". I knew a guy a few years back who was about 18 or 19 and he decided to get a tattoo. He wanted to show his undying devotion for his girlfriend, so he was going to get her name inked into a tattoo on his arm (or maybe chest, I forget). Anyway, I told him, "Dude, if you guys ever break up, you're gonna have to get a girl with the same name as your ex always."
And he's like, "No, we'll never break up."
And I said, "Okay dude. Whatever."
So he got the tattoo.
And a few short months later, they split up. And I haven't talked to him in years, but I'll bet that f*cker is still looking for a new girlfriend named Khrystal (spelled like that).
Dumbass.
So the moral is -- THINK ABOUT IT, for God's sake.

never tattoo a name of a girl you are dating on yourself... it's like a curse.
Getting a tattoo in memory of people, like fathers, veterans, are always good and something you will never regret.
Remember this is going to be with you when you die... and every day up until that point... make sure you're 1000 percent sure.
Some guy thought he was sure he wanted a Swastica on his neck, with the no smoking circle going around it in red. Well now he wants to be an elementary school teacher, he's getting the tattoo removed slowly, the Red is fading, so now there's a glaring swastica on his neck, he starts teaching in August... think about it.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Just turning 18 I was faced with the same question.Originally posted by Scaramanga86

For a while I thought it would be a cool thing to do, hell I even designed my own tat. I still think it looks cool but ultimately I decided that the Cool factor would wear off way before the tatoo would.
I know hindsight is 20/20, but when you're 80 do you really want some stupid tatoo on your back? No you won't.
I know a kid that got master cheif tatooed on his back. That idiot was regretting it 6 months later.
What I would recomend.
-Wait a while, 6 months to a year. Look at other peoples tatoos. Look at how you perceive them because of the tatoo.
-Weigh the benefits. Will this embarass my parents/family. Will it affect my ability to get a good job. Will I regret it later in life.
-Attitudes come and go, but that tatoo doesn't. Is this some fad thats gonna fade out, or is it something that has a deep meaning to me.
If you can honestly answer those confidently, then go ahead and get it. If you can't you will regret it.

True point, if you're going to get a tat, Scaramanga86, I would recommend designing one yourself that has a deep meaning (or getting someone who can draw and have him/her design it) and consider the location of the tattoo i.e. shoulder, the lower back, etc. someplace the tattoo can be easily concealed if you had to conceal it.-Attitudes come and go, but that tatoo doesn't. Is this some fad thats gonna fade out, or is it something that has a deep meaning to me.

Haha, that's hilarious.And a few short months later, they split up. And I haven't talked to him in years, but I'll bet that f*cker is still looking for a new girlfriend named Khrystal (spelled like that).
On a similar note, back in high school, I almost got a Chicago Bulls logo tattooed on my arm, so glad I didn't lol, bulls lose game after game now.
