Definitely keep in mind the 'long term' affects of tattoos and piercings..
I have a friend that has had his nipple pierced for about 6 years. It is a smaller ring he keeps in it but over the years the weight has pulled his nipple longer than what I think is normal ...it is definintely longer than the other one. He will probably always have the nipple ring just so he doesnt have to explain the oddity when he has his shirt off....
And.......I hope tattoos are better than they use to be....maybe...but keep in mind you are sloughing skin daily which means if you get your tattoo in your 20s by the time you are 60 or so it will not be as bright and vibrant...and some of the more 'detailed' work will fade...your skin will also sag some in your older years no matter how good of shape you are in....and your 'true love' on your chest might look like he/she has wrinkles. Next time you see one of your grans ask them if they have a tattoo you can see and then ask them what it use to be. ^_^
The only tattoos I have seen last the years are the monochromatic ones, they still fade but it doesnt really affect the look of the tat.
