The first tattoo…
If you have some ink, you definitely remember what you chose and why, and probably everything else about the experience, too.
I would also guess that a good number of people don’t actually like their first tattoo, because, well…young and impulsive and growing up and all of that.
These 16 people probably won’t end up with regrets, though, because their first tattoo choices were very cool.
1. Look at that sweet immortalized face.
I want to boop that nose so bad.

There’s something magical about this one.

Bada$$ either way, too.

Like. Someone explain it to me.
