If you're unsure, I would say don't do it - it will be there for the rest of your (hopefully) long life!

Wait until you are older.

I too would suggest you wait. You are still young enough that your family's reaction may hurt your relationship with them....and you have the rest of your life to get the tattoo. I was 61 when I got my first - for me it was the perfect point in my life.

If you're having feelings already wondering if you'll regret it, then you need to wait. You've got years to decide for sure what you want, if anything. If you're worried about family or whomever, then until you can be comfortable in your own skin and with yourself, the again, I would wait.

+1 on what everyone else has said. Please wait!

I didn't get my first tattoo until I was 34. Smartest thing I could have ever done.

I totally agree with this. I got my first two at 16&18, and thankfully I was chronically broke at the time so they are very small! I started over at 30+ and I'm really happy I didn't cover myself with tons of spur-of-the-moment tattoos back then. What I am doing now has been planned over many years, I can afford to get great tattoos now, and I have the self-confidence to go for stuff I know I will love long term.

I got my first one at 25 and covered it up at age 40. So yeah. Wait if you're not sure.

Wish I would have thought about that when I was 18 and got my first couple. Luckily they were relatively small and now that I'm in my late 30's I've been able to get quality pieces and plan for coverups that I can be proud of.
