Tattoos are a personal choice.
As a result, many people choose tattoos which have a special meaning to them, such as the name of their beloved, or an image or symbol sacred to them
It's also easy for people to judge what others choose to have inked on their body.
With certain types of tattoos almost instantly resulting in the immediate cringes of others.

As far too many people are sadly stuck with a reminder of a past bad decision which greets them every time they look in a mirror.
And often on display for the rest of the world to see as well.
