I'm not young, and I have one that I got about 20 years ago with zero regrets.

They don't turn blue if they're quality tattoos that you have protected from the sun.

No tattoos here, and I have aversions to wearing any type of jewellery. Seeing tattoos on others generally gives me a negative feeling (especially the opposite sex, women). Even though I think some of the designs are fantastic, I think they belong off-body, not on-body. I get aversions when I see earlobes pierced to hang silly earrings too, because I consider piercings to be marring the landscape too. I much prefer 'au naturale' in most areas, I think.

I got one several years ago to commemorate my father, to whom I was very close. I waited several years after he passed to be sure of the design and that it was something I really wanted to do, not based on immediate emotions. Not at all sorry I did it. I have no plans to get more, but that could always change.

It's on the inside of my upper forearm so it's not always on display, as I tend to wear longsleeves year round (except at home). As meera mentioned, if they are quality tattoos and one doesn't expose them a lot to the sun (use a good sunscreen) and one keeps the skin in good condition they will last.
