Getting a tattoo in the future a good or bad thing?

[Vasiliki]

haha i should, is that expensive?

Vasilki- your dragon is sooo sick, puts my dinky fish to shame lol

Haha. Thank you. I quite like your fish. Very prominant. I've yet to find a fish design I'm satisfied with enough to get it tattooed. Maybe one day. I'm picky

And thats the way it should be. There is a reason I am 23 and still dont have one.

Hence the reason I always tell people to find something they want as a tattoo, stick copies of it everywhere and look at it multiple times a day for at least a year. By that time, you know if you're 100% for it or if you want to modify it. Works well. I waited 10 years to get mine, and it's my only one (yep, one tattoo, whole shoulder, haha).

Each tattoo doesn't even have to mean something literally either. I think a lot of people get that confused. My dragon isn't about 'strength' or 'history'. It's in relation to my right shoulder, which is my dominant hand. I do art, mainly fantasy. I thrived off of fantasy art as a kid and wanted to grow up to be like Todd Lockwood. Todd Lockwood designed the D&D dragons. And this dragon is from a D&D book. So in a very roundabout way, it's my: "Don't give up on your dreams" tattoo, haha.

Best way to work on a back piece is to always consider that you might want to add to it. If you keep it flowing and keep it logical, then you'll be able to add to it throughout your life.

For anything serious, definitely take your time. It taught me a lot of patience by waiting out getting my tattoo, unlike so many people I meet that want to just rush. Enjoy the journey
