I had the chance a bunch of times over to get a tatoo. I was almost drunk enough once to get the USMC bull dog. I figured a disease would be easier to get rid of. Fourtunately I never ended up with either.
I had a running rule that if I saw a tatoo that I liked I would wait 1 month. If it was still in my mind, then I would get it. None ever made it longer than 25 days. I even tried drawing and designing my own (for reference I do D&D type art work). That did not last longer than 15 days.
The thoughts of a battle ship were there for a bit but figured it would turn into a canoe as i got older. Any eagle would look like big bird witha stroke after I was 50.
