yeah i made sure to ask each of my parents before getting this, and they both had no problems with the idea. i even worked on the design a bit with my dad.
and just a point of interest... not saying i'll ever regret this tattoo... i don't think i ever will... but there's always the point of technology. in years to come, there could easily be more tattoo removal solutions besides laser surgery. not that anyone should get a tattoo hoping for advanced removal solutions in the future, but its a possibility. a lot will change in the next 25-50 years.
