To tattoo or not to tattoo

Pros
Do you like your face? I hope you do. But if you don’t, it’s understandable. Not because it’s ugly but because you didn’t choose it: it might not be your thing. You didn’t choose your hands either. Or your shoulders. Or your ankles. But what you can choose is a tattoo, and this means having a part of your body that you can look at every day and LOVE. (NB. This may not be applicable if you choose a tattoo of Garfield. Or a unicorn. Or a random Chinese symbol that you don’t understand.)
Tattoos show conviction. They show that you can make a decision and stick with it. When doubters say, ‘You’re stuck with that your whole life’, you can confidently think, ‘YES! Because that’s what I do, I stick with things. I am no quitter.’ It’s a nice feeling.
