I have a fear of never seeing the skin colour under my tattoos ever again

[bannana]

Hey idk if this is the right place to put this but I haven't really seen people talk about this online.

I'm scared of the idea of never seeing the natural colour of my under after I get inked.

Is this weird because I want to get tattoos and I love the way they look but I have such a deep fear that its holding me back from getting any.

sorry, but that sounds really strange, that's why you get a tattoo and that's what a tattoo does,maybe you would be better off getting a henna tattoo.

Don’t get one. There is no going back to your original skin. Lasering a tattoo off only does so much. It will NEVER look the same again.

They already told you, but I want to repeat: if you feel like this, do not get a tattoo.

Please, don't take that as a dismissive, who-cares answer: it's actually the most caring thing someone could recommend you, because if the fear you experience is strong enough to make you write about it on a public forum then it's not so unlikely that it would make you regret (really, strongly regret: a deep, encysted fear is not something you should underestimate) getting a tattoo.

Not sure why that would scare someone and I've never heard that before. But like others said, don't get one. You are setting yourself up for disappointment.

NEVER get a tattoo.

Get a small text tattoo that you can cover up with clothing perhaps ?

Your mind is not everybody's mind: you don't necessarily need to understand why, just acknowledge that it can happen.

Don't ever get a tattoo if you already have a doubt in your mind before getting it, you may refer to my post about the tattoo regret.

Think twice
