I have found that there are some people who regret thier tattoos later in life and have always been confused as to why you would get something periated onto your body that you might one day regret. I myself spend an average of one year on each of my tattoo ideas and designs, but then perhaps I feel more of a connection with my ink because I design what goes on my body, and it's not flash off a wall?
See now to me that is the entire point of getting a tattoo- to have some strong emotional ties to it. To me the chestburster is meaningless other than the "whoa" or shock value (consider how small children will react to seeing a man on the beach realistically bleeding with a monster ripping through his chest
).
If a person decided to cover their entire body in a tribute to their mom who had passed away- I would say more power to them. At the very least there should be a story behind the tattoo. My Kanji has that Chinese proverb on living your life behind it. I had the dragon done while I was taking martial arts- and although it is a reminder to myself of my volatile side (to keep it under control), the tattoo was still a bit of an impulsive act- which is why I would prefer to no longer have it.

I personnaly like the dragon on your arm, even without a real clear shot of it. And feel that you shouldn't regret it, or even say you'd do it another way, because in all honesty it should be a mark of your past. An age that will never come about again, that you should cherish, childish or not. Even if my ink makes me laugh when I'm older I won't tell anyone to do it any other way, as a relic of what I am now to who I will be in the future.
Thank you for this. It does help put it into a positive light.
