If you have a Tatoo, do you regret ever getting it?

So many men that I've talked to had gotten tatoos when they were drunk and pressured by peers, but then they're ashamed of ever doing such a thing a few years down the line. How do you feel?

I have one and I do not regreat getting it. Mine is on my rigt shoulder blade so if I do not want anyone to know about I can hid it. Like on a job interview or my grandmother that would have a cow if she knew.

I know what you mean about some getting messed up. My husband had one put on when he was in his teens. It was a heart with my name across it. It now looks like a blobbed ball of ink on his arm. He now wishes he never got all of the ones he did get, because its memories of peer pressure and shame.

I wouldn't feel ashamed and I wasn't pressured by peers, but unlike most posters, I regret getting mine. For one, I asked to have it on the back of my neck and it's actually across my shoulders (below my neck). For two, they did a shoddy job and I'm glad I got it where I did because I don't have to look at it! Which brings me to three... I ended up with sensitivity issues there, sometimes it feels fresh and actually hurts!
