Being young and ignorant but also liking the designs. I wasn't aware of (and didn't care to know) the harms of tattoo ink. I didn't think I would live that long, so I didn't care about permanent artificial designs on my body.
More importantly, I didn't understand that mutilating my body in such a way was an insult to the One that created me and this "vehicle" I was given for this test of life
Sure, the tattoos are "meaningful", but it's better to just be a person living by meaningful, true principles rather than trying to remind oneself with body """art"""
