Just scribbling some random drawing and getting it inked is retarded.

I don't see much wrong with using carefully selected, meaningful tattoos as a kind of permanent record of important moments or as a literal "mark" of something valuable in your life/psyche/whatever.

This is kind of the traditional purpose of them since the dawn of time... a young man becomes a warrior, he gets a permanent mark to show he is such and so on.

Like if I see a guy with say, a USMC tat' I know he is a trained warfighter, has served his country, has maybe seen combat the likes of which I could never imagine etc etc, I respect him, I respect that mark.

But just getting them for the sake of getting them is stupid, hasty and she'll regret it... not probably regret it, 100% will regret it when she's old and all that once youthful skin is saggy, wrinkly and covered in diffuse blurry ink.

I have zero tattoos, not because I don't like them but because nothing has yet happened in my life that I feel warrants one.

Finally dude, her whole attitude suggests there is more to this... as somebody above said, you might want to go down to the shop where she's getting inked and figure out which guy is putting the moves on her because that's the vibe I'm getting off this too.

Good luck man, I think you ought to just move on.
