You grow old and skin sags -- ink fades.
that's why I'm not inking my belly or chest (pray I don't develop manboobs in 30 yrs), hopefully staying fit will prevent that.
They can, if getting inked at irreputable places and one doesn't care for them properly.
It may not look cool in a few years.
Good point, I always wait a long time before getting one, and I choose something that is symbolic and significant to me. If I change my mind later (doubt it), it's part of me and who I am or a reminder of who I was.
To each their own. My tats harm others as much as my guns do.
