I have a really good idea for a tattoo but i have mixed feelings on whether I should get one or not. My biggest fear is getting one and then regretting it but the idea I have would be reasonably subtle. It would be text in a circle, around my mid forearm.
What do you think?

I also like the idea of splitting the quote in two parts between each arm but I want to hear some opinions first.

They're probably gonna move this to AE.

Nevertheless, get the tattoo. Make sure your artist knows what he's doing and you'll fine. As long as the quote resonates and it looks good, you'll have no reason to regret.

I have "Rise & Rise again until lambs become Lions" on my Bicep.

Only followers and those wishing to be a part of the mainstream are getting tattoos in 2016. Whether you want to admit it or not, you're on a quest to be unique, different, and express you're individuality.

The irony is that in your attempt to show that your different, express your uniquenes and individuality, you're doing the very that everybody else is doing.

If you really want to stand out, beunique, and be different, leave the tat alone, and get ripped. Seriously, get in unbelievable shape and you'll accomplish the same thing, plus you'll improve your health, and not have permenant markings on your body.

The most important opinion is your own. It's your body and your life.

If you really fear that you may regret it, I would suggest waiting six months or so and
if you still feel the same way about it in six months...

All your going to get here are personal tastes based on peoples's subjective perceptions of
reality.

I personally am a fan of sleeves. I think properly done, they look amazing.....

The guy above me thinks they look corny on guys, the guy above him thinks you won't be a unique snowflake
if you get one in 2016 (or some sort of strange value judgement) and the first guy thinks they look great......who's right? All just perceptions and perceptions are full of the errors of subjectivity....
 

Never try to read a woman's mind. It is a scary place. Ignore her confusing signals and mixed messages. Assume she is interested in you and act accordingly.

put it on HER butt, instead. It will be there for you to admire and it won't bar you from various jobs in the future.

The thing is, if you're reacting based on the opposite of what everyone else
is doing........you are still in fact being controlled by the opinions of others .....

...isn't that where all the "counter culture" movements come from........and who end up forming their
little counter culture groups and.......ooh appearing the same as each other...

It's like Rex above, saying that means your part of the mainstream and you don't want that.......that's still
a reaction based on what you perceive as something that's part of popular culture.....

You're doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing just so you can fool yourself into thinking
you're different. "ooh I'm not like those guys, because I choose not to have a tattoo. that makes me not
a sheep. Cool"

You're not different, millions of people don't have tattoos.

When your decision is based on not wanting to be a sheep. You end up being a sheep. And often
a sanctimonious one.

In fact, the amount of people is quite large that I've heard say something along the lines of "be different, don't get a tattoo" ....I've heard so many people say it now, that you are all in fact starting to sound like a flock of sheep.....baaaaaaaaaaaaa

You're decisions should come from a place of utter freedom.

"Don't get it. Everyone has one," said the shepherd to the sheep. Perhaps the shepherd himself knows better, and he is merely herding sheep.
 

If you want to talk, talk to your friends. If you want a girl to like you, listen to her, ask questions, and act like you are on the edge of your seat.

Whats the quote? i hope its not one of those inspirational ones cause they're cliche as **** if you're on the fence about it and wanting people to tell you it's cool and it'd be nice, you want peoples opinions too much. When i got a tattoo it was something that was interesting to me and i didn't ask opinions or tell anybody i was getting one, i just went and did it. I got a tattoo sort of like this, but without the swirls around the guitar. I wear a dress shirt on dates and roll up the sleeves just to expose the bottom portion and it peaks everyones interest.
