[QUOTE=1chains1;45381399]I never said they needed "super deep gay meanings" I said they should have some value to yourself so you don't regret them many years down the road. I remember myself from 6 years ago and it makes me cringe, imagine another 10 years down the road with a tattoo. You could be a completely different person and if you didn't put at least [I]some[/I] thought into it then you're going to have a big fucking reminder of the kind of person you were 10 years ago. [/QUOTE]
but you're pretending that 'putting thought' into it is some kind of shield against the very problem you've just said.
what you value is going to change just the same as well
so ultimately you're probably safer just going with something aesthetically pleasing and well done if you're so bothered what value things might or might not have a decade down the line.
I never got this whole "this means so much to me" bullcrap when it comes to tattoos.

So you can't get something that is aesthetically pleasing and has value to you? And while you do change at least looking back you can say "oh I got this because it had a value from a past part of my life" and serves a function similar to a photograph. It has the meaning and memories of that time.
A tattoo you just throw on because "it looks sik m8" will never have any value or any kind of reminder about something that was possibly close or dear to you. It would simply be a reminder of how much of a twat you were when you were younger.
So a well thought out tattoo would be something akin to a photograph of you and your friends doing something together that you can look on years down the road and smile.
A tattoo you just get because it is "bad ass" turns out to be that unflattering drunk picture of you blowing chunks all over someones car.
But as said you can do as you like, it is not my body and if you want a daily reminder of how dumb you were when you were younger be my guest.
[QUOTE=Gentry;45381281]lmao who are you kidding most tattoos don't have ~super deep gay meanings~
why should they?[/QUOTE]
Because the more thought you put into something, the more likely it is that you'll get to really click with what you want more than anything else, and if you DO click with an image or design or quote or what have you after a proper long period of consideration, it's likely to mean more to you than otherwise. The "deep meaning" isn't something to aim for, it's just a byproduct of a better tatt. Something can mean a whole lot to you in what it makes you feel, in a way that can't be put into words, so all there is is the image with no particular explanation behind it but it does carry meaning. That could be a skull and an anchor potentially. Really you'll have a hard time landing on a concept that means nothing if you put thought into it - because why would something like that even occur to you?
So if you do pick a piece of flash or otherwise for some reason get a tatt that genuinely doesn't mean anything to you, you fucked up. You could have done better. it's not hard to grasp

exactly
putting thought =/= trying to invent a deep meaning
