Why Get a Tatoo?

Do you need a backstory to get a tattoo to avoid being annoyed by questions?

It seems if that is your main concern, maybe you shouldn't be getting one.

To me, my tattoos, like my other body decorations, are personal. I might show them to select people, but they're meaning and my reasons for getting them are not something I have to explain unless I want to.

My latest tattoo is a small gold horse shoe with a K in the center. Far from saying something about my personality, to me it is a way of holding on to something that I lost, and keeping her with me forever.

In 50 years, will I regret it? Who knows. But I will know why I did it, and I believe in my reasons. And hey, I'm going to see it more than anyone else.
