ORIGINAL: Winterapple Nothing says forever like your ex's name tattooed on your neck. I will love him forever. It's especially that kind of attitude that gets you in trouble when and if the love doesn't last. But your single minded shallowness around this topic will have you end up regretting this tattoo eventually even if the relationship does last. Personally I believe that my body is a canvas that bears with it the journey of where, and who, I've been. That includes my deliberate body mods as well as my scars and other injuries and body limitations. Thus, despite the fact that I've ended up partially removing a tattoo, I've never regretted getting one. Instead I consider it a symbol of who I was, and the act of removing it, especially because I did it myself, is as important and meaningful to me as it was to get it done at the time and have it mark me. Of course, with me that's got to do with my Gorean background, and the symbolism attached to going from slavery to freedom. It's my experience that most of the people who don't see their tats as a journey telling of the entirety of their person or life, but as a symbol or decoration tied to one aspect of themselves, or one person they have known, end up regretting their bodymods at some point in life. Not even necessarily because of falling out of love, but because tats change over time, and a tat that's clean, beautiful, meaningful, and crisp when you get it in your twenties will not necessarily be so a couple decades later. Whether or not you love him, and whether or not you'll always love him, you are approaching this subject in all the wrong ways, for all the wrong motivations, from a position of total ignorance about tattoos. You WILL end up being disappointed down the line, unless you change your attitude about this.
