Why is it that so many people feel obligated to solely contribute that he's going to regret it? That's the thing with tattoo topics, everyone feels the need to rush into these threads and post how so and so is going to regret their tattoo somewhere down the line. It's the same problem that wrestling threads have, where everyone whose not a fan feels the need to post that it's fake. Who cares? If he end up regretting it, then so what? You don't think he doesn't already know that possibility? How about instead of people coming in saying he's going to regret it, people share their opinions on the tattoo, maybe even share some tattoo ideas of their own or show off their own tattoos.
The idea that he's going to regret it is a non-point anyways. He's already got it, so what does it matter? If he does regret it, well, oh well, there's not much he can do about it, is there? It also assumes that he hasn't put any thought into his tattoo. If he put enough thought into it and he's known for a while that this is truly something that he's going to want for the rest of his life, then why should he regret it in five years time? And even if he doesn't like it in five years time, then the tattoo will merely serve as a reminder of his younger self, so in that sense it still remains relevant.
I've got a few tattoos myself, and all of them have at least a year or more worth of thought put into them. I restrict myself to only getting a single tattoo per year, and thus far, I have no regrets about any of them. And if somewhere down the line I decide that I don't like one of them, then that's okay, because it meant enough to me to get it when I did, and so even if it doesn't necessarily represent my current frame of mind, there was a time when it did, so it's still a part of me in that sense.
As for my thoughts on the actual tattoo at hand in this thread, I'm not really a fan of it. I'm not really a fan of any blocky 8-bit style tattoo, I'd prefer if it looked more rounded and natural. But if that's what you really wanted, then all the power to you.
