People express themselves through fashion and hair styles in the same way - the difference being those aren't permanent. imagine having to wear the mullet hair style or the rat tail you had at 14 for the rest of your life.

I have alot of tattooos but I aquired them slowly over time. I'm glad I did. I have friends who you can track their evolution of style and taste through the tattoos they have. Not only that, but usually the first few tattoos aren't done by the bests artists either. I don't regret any of my ink, but there are one or two pieces I wish I had gotten done by someone else.
It's weird to see 18 year old girls with giant chest peices and full sleeves. Getting tattoos in places that aren't covered by a tshirt is a pretty big commitment. Most artists I know won't put something somewhere visibile like that unless the person has alot of ink elsewhere on their body.
I saw a young chick a few years back, maybe only 18 or 19, sh was broken down in a residential neighborhood and was getting one of the men who lived on the street to help her with changing her tire. She was wearing a cap sleeve shirt and had only one tattoo I could see- and it was on her neck. She's got a huge dark peice right on the side of her neck and she can't even change her own tire. WTF!? I wasn't even as upset with her poor decission as I was with whatever nimrod put it on her. Here you have what might be this girl's first tattoo and you slapped it right on her fucking neck. Christ.
