I think the key here is the regret part. You are looking at a tattoo as something that you are assuming you have to like for its aesthetic reasons your entire life or just have it removed. I know plenty of people with "bad" tattoos and they don't look at them as mistakes to cover up, they look at them as at some time in their life, I was this person and this is how I felt/conveyed what was important to me. Im not going to be a 40 yr old SERIOUSLY looking at my life and choosing some ink on my skin as my biggest regret.

And really, if I am 40 and a tat is my biggest regret then I have had one hell of a life thus far.
