What are the pros and cons of getting a tattoo right before college?

Q. I am getting ready to start college in a few days and I was debating whether or not to get a tattoo. What are some pros and cons? And what is your overall opinion on what I should do?
The tattoo I would get would go around my ankle and it has personal meaning about family

A. CONS

The biggest con goes back to the days when sailors started getting tattoos from native peoples. There are people who think only low class people get tattoos. Fortunately that attitude is fading, but it will never fully go away. For women there is that phrase tramp stamp.

You do have to avoid getting certain areas tattooed (hands, face, neck) because they cannot be easily covered if work or other situations calls for it.


If you get a tattoo because getting a tattoo is trendy, you are more likely to regret it later. Same holds true if the tattoo subject is trendy.

No matter what the meaning, subject, or reason for getting a tattoo some people will regret getting a tattoo.

NEITHER PRO OR CON

Your tattoo will be saggy and wrinkly when you are 70, 80, 90, etc. This arguement is akin to someone saying, "I'd like to go back to school, but I'd be XX years old when I graduate.". Really and how old will you be in 4 years if you don't to back to school? Okay, yeah, so what. My skin will be old and wrinkly when I'm 70, 80, 90, etc anyway. You can not make every decision based on what will be when you are elderly.

PROS

It's a relatively safe risk. (Excluding homemade tattoos or from dirty shops.) You might get a local infection even with the best of everything. Still it's not a life-threatening thing if done properly. (Yeah, there are always exceptions to the rule.) You go through some pain but it won't kill you. And despite their popularity, you will stand apart because you choose to have a tattoo.

People from every walk of life have tattoos. Yes that includes Doctors, Lawyers, politicians, and members of the clergy.

A tattoo can hold deep personal meaning. Or you can get one because you like the image. I have both types of tattoos.

A tattoo can be tiny or cover your entire body.

People with tattoos do not care that you don't have tattoos.

A tattoo can lead to a great conversation about tattoos and why the participants in the conversation have tattoos.

A tattoo can be shown off or kept private.

The design can be conservative or wild and funky.

You can regret the things you don't do as much as some of the things you have done.

A well-done tattoo is a thing of beauty.


How long does it typically take to tattoo the top of your foot, like the whole top?
Q. I'm getting the tops of my feet pretty much completely covered, just the tops, not my toes or the sides. And I'm just wondering about how long it will take to typically to cover each foot. I have small feet, each foot tattoo would be about 3 1/2 - 4 inches by 3 1/2 - 4 inches big. And they aren't too detailed, mainly more so colored in.

A. That all depends on how intricate the design would be, example if it's just a single color inked then it would at least take an hour tops, but if it has some design intricacies then it would definitely would take longer.

Another advice is, browse some tattoo sites, they might have some cool artwork and sample designs from their artist, I know a site where some of the artist are women, check it out first so you'll know what design you would want on your feet.
