I'm so glad I avoided having that tattoo

I guess each person will have to work that out for themselves as tattoos are personal. You seem to have reached your own conclusion? "I'm so glad I avoided having that tattoo

Simple for me. I hate tattoos. They're minging.

Depends on the subject. "Windows Vista RULEZZZ!!!" is probably one most people would regret, probably before they left the tattoo parlour. "Garry Glitter Forever" or "Jimmy Savile Is My Hero" would probably not be seen in the same light today. And any allegiance to a girlfriend / boyfriend / pop-band-of-the-minute may prove transitory. But good tattoos, done by a good artist can be phenomenal!

Tell that to the Maori and they will think you are racist.:) I have Tats, started getting them when I was in the Army (kinda traditional). Personally I do not mind them. I do, however, dislike overly tattooed ladies (Not the ladies themselves, I know many with tats and some are real fine!). I also think anyone who gets their faces tattooed (and who is not a Maori/[Insert South Sea Island Which Also Has Facial Tattoo Culture]) needs psychiatric help. Some of them are true works of art.

If you like looking at art, buy something that you don't have to get naked to show people.

Tattoos are personal? Not when they South London Skins on your face they're not.
“I believe that there is an equality to all humanity. We all suck.” Bill Hicks
per·son·al Adjective Of, affecting, or belonging to a particular person rather than to anyone else. This is my tattoo. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My tattoo, without me, is useless. Without my tattoo, I am useless. I must show my tattoo to be true. I must have a tattoo meaner than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must tattoo me before he shoots me. I will... - Personal and yet in your face

Note: I am tattooed, heavily... given modern laser removal that can be undertaken at relatively low cost and to great effect there is in fact no need to retain a tattoo which you subsequently regret. Almost any reputable and professional tattoo artist can and will recommend a equally reputable and professional source for laser removal of a tattoo so I'd suggest the only you should regret in the long term is the money wasted. Just a thought...

Years ago in the pub a girl we knew revealed her new tattoo on her thigh. My mates comment of "He did well to draw that on a wrinkled canvas" soon had it covered back up and the rest of us laughing too hard to contribute.

I don't dispute that, and on your first point if there's some cultural association then that's fair enough. What I personally dislike is the Jeremy Kyle generation where some unattractive ignorant idiot stains his skin on the belief if will somehow make him more interesting. Tattoo are often a sign of this sort of person, and I would admit to stereotyping people based on their tattoos. I can't help it. In the 90s it was very 'cool' to have the barbed-wire thing around you arm - started by Pamela Anderson maybe. Out of fashion these days. Then there was the thing on the small of a girls back (got into trouble with that one once). Don't know what the latest thing is....

Has the process improved recently? AFAIK laser removal is problematic if you have darker skin or lighter colored ink; and only works well with dark tats on fair skinned people.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.
