Do you have a tattoo?

That's nawt; you should watch the programme "Tattoo Fixers" if you want to see bad/regrettable tattoos.
I saw a site recently, “Tattoo Fails”, there were some absolute doozies on there, majority being spelling mistakes, ‘no regerts’ ‘Sir Alex Feguson’, ‘Allways yours’ etc. etc., but the one that stuck out as the dumbest, (to me), was a guy’s two fists held out toward the camera, with letters tattooed on the individual fingers.Apparently he saw himself as a super badass, and wanted to let people know.
To that end he had YOUR tattooed on one hand, followed on the other with NEXT.
Either he knew that it should be YOU’RE NEXT, but realised he had insufficient fingers, or figured that it looked right to him, so everyone should understand it.
I’m left wondering if the guy with the needle points out the glaring mistakes, or do they work on the principle that the customer is always right, e.g. if a client asks for “I LUVE JEAN”, he can have exactly that?
In the interest of full disclosure, I don’t have a tattoo, and would NEVER contemplate having one, neither of my adult sons have tattoos, and they both served in the armed forces, none of my grandsons, aged 23, 19, and 15 have any, but my 11 y.o. granddaughter has said that she can’t ever imagine getting one, but if she ever wanted one, she’d get one, as ultimately, it would be up to her.

No, but I'm paralysed by blank pages, I recently spent almost two days staring at a blank PowerPoint slide because I could find a start point. That may make me sound dumb, but it's what happens. As soon as I was reminded that a blank page is a bad thing for me, and some structure was applied, away I went, without issue.
As for YOLO, FRO.

I have never seen a tattoo that looks amazing 5 years after it has been done.
Skin/ body changes.
From Ultra HD sharp - it looks 1970's fuzzy
It looks blurred.
It looks crap.
I am polarised thought - I would like one - then I don't.
Seriously - how razor sharp are they after 5 years?
It does depend on a lot of variables. Simple, thick black lined tattoos would hold up the best, such as this one above. Skin/ body changes.

Sun exposure, how well the tattoo was applied, colour, intricacy of the design will all effect how well it lasts. I quite like old tattoos that have changed and evolved over time.There's many well known tattoo artists that have bodysuits that aged and faded a bit, which tells a story in itself.
I've got some biggish colour work that is a couple of years old. The bits that haven't seen the sun much look very fresh but the bits that have been in the sun have changed due to my skin getting freckles and browned.
Other just black work I have hasn't changed much at all from when it was also done a couple of years ago. It's just black and with thick lines, they've aged well even with quite a bit of sun exposure.

I always get distracted when trying to read/study. I might get 'DGDWR/S' down my arm. Don't Get Distracted When Reading / Studying.

What's the meaning behind that, out of interest?Endless fun to be had and anyway, chicks dig dudes with mysterious tattoos.

Maybe, man but I was meaning more, chicks... like the female of the species.
With a tattoo like this you would have chicks eating out of your hand, man.
The chicks would say, "Hey, that tat I dig, what does it mean, man ?"
And you would be like,"What does it mean to you babe?"
And she would guess and after she looked like she was getting sick of guessing, you would say
"Never Had A Bad Poo, babe."
And the Chick would be like, "Coooool !"
