Tattoos / Body Mods

I have a circular x men logo on my upper right arm I got about 5 years ago. I've never been happy with it. It's not neatly circular or strait in any of the places it's supposed to be, and it looks like it's drawn in thick marker pen. It was done by a 20-ish emo-looking young man.

Forgive me if this is rude but how bad is the buyers remorse on a shitty tattoo?
I think if I had to look at a bad tattoo every day somewhere on my body, it would drive me absolutely crazy

eh, I don't really think about it. more like a slightly anoying scar and it's only coin size (he traced the comic cover). I would like a tattoo i can feel proud of though and not just one I put out of mind.

Oh yeah, righto if it was small I could probably ignore it.
I am fascinated by those tattoo shows where people get enormous cover-ups because they got their ex's name or some weird drawing that looks like a retarded preschooler did it, and they're stuck with it.

(This isn't aimed at you..) I wonder what goes through the minds of people who just walk in off the street to some random place and get a tattoo off the wall or something.. you're going to be stuck with this for the foreseeable future (or have expensive and painful laser treatment that still might not get rid of it). Wouldn't you do some research before letting someone mark your body "forever" ??

Before I had my magnetic implant put in, I did heaps of research. Both on the type of implant and the placement, and then on the right person to do it. Before I let him cut me, I went to talk with the guy to see if I could work with him, and inspected his studio and equipment, then when we were all happy we put the magnet in. For the record, I'd recommend everyone who is vaguely interested in expanding the human sensory experience to get one of these.

I would definitely only get a tattoo now from an older/grizzled person and not a 20 something. Also I was impulsive, the place I wanted had appointments so I went to another place that would do it that same day.

Imagine being that neo-Nazi guy who got Nazi shit tattooed all over him and then one day realized what a piece of shit he was and turned around his life.

I have a terrible tattoo - it’s scarred, blown out and the whole thing’s raised so even if I got it covered up, you’d still see it. I have several tattoo artist friends who at one time or another sat me down and drew all over my arm with markers to try to design something to cover it so I can at least finish the sleeve, but I haven’t pulled the trigger yet, primarily because I have a few unfinished pieces or pieces on deck that I’m more focused on.

It doesn’t really bother me so much as it’s an annoyance, tbh. I don’t show it off and if people do see it and ask, I just tell them it was my first (which is true) and admit it’s terrible.

I also really want nipple piercings but am way too scared to get them.

I got my nipple done 5 years ago. I was going crazy trying to impress my badass girlfriend. It hurt going in but only for a second. I only kept it in a few weeks though.

here is my x men

There's a documentary about him on Netflix. It looked like they used an iron to get the shit off his hands, they were just huge bloody blisters afterwards. His face wasn't in a much better state after the first few sessions. Seriously gross.
