<p>Well, I DID say, “anyone <em>I</em> know”. Sure, some people must regret them, or there would be no business for laser removal. But I guess I think of a tattoo as more closely aligned with a scar from surgery, or a birthmark, or the shape of your nose or the size of your lips. Yes, there are people who would go to all kinds of expense to change those things about themselves, but my scars and nose, etc. make me, ME, as does my tattoo. I don’t regret my nose even if my little niece once asked if I’d broken it as a child, for example.</p>
<p>But lje62, you’re right, no one here is ever going to convince anyone of anything on this topic. </p>
