I’m thinking of getting a small heart behind my ear any thoughts?

I think if you want it to go for it :D is there something worrying you about getting it?

kitsuneghost · 06/05/2024 16:23

Sorry, tacky AF. Does it have a particular meaning because those type always strikeme as tattoo for tattoos sake.

ILikePistachios · 06/05/2024 16:25

If you want it, go for it.
Don't care about what anyone else thinks, it's your body, your choice what you get and where you have it.

Make sure you ask clearly and they don’t do a small ear behind your heart by accident

I like the idea but honestly it's up to you, if you want it - go for it. It's your body and your tattoo... Behind the ear is not easily seen / easily hidden too. I worried I would regret getting tattoos but I can honestly say I haven't yet! I love them, each time I see them it just feels right... The only thing to worry about is wanting more once you get the first one 🫣

If you want it, go for it! I think it's a lovely meaning too. I have many tattoos and some are dated to the 90s when I had them (dolphin anyone?) but I love them all, they are part of my story.

I have four tattoos and have another planned, so am in no way anti-tattoo, but because it is «trendy and cute» are the worst reasons to get a tattoo. «Trendy» changes quickly, as does «cute». If you get a tattoo, get one that means something to you, and that you know will still mean the same 30 years from now.

I don't think you permanently mark yourself for trendy and cute. Could you do a transfer instead?

Absolutely would not do a transfer …so why do ppl have tattoos I thought it was for there own reasons did you read mine being deaf ect

Sorry I did yes. But trendy and cute were higher on your list and I thought the deafness is what the tragus piercing represented

RobertaFirmino · 06/05/2024 21:47

Tattoos aren't 'cute' though, are they? They're just a picture drawn on your body.

No the tragus piercing is just pretty I actually did say why I wanted the tatoo

It sounds like you want to get it which is really the only the reason you need to get a tattoo? It doesn't need to be any deeper than that. If you want that tattoo and you will love that tattoo then go for it!

Why not get a tattoo for tattoo's sake? What's wrong with that?

Surely getting a tattoo because it's trendy is the worst reason to get one 😆 trends aren't usually permanent...

GoodVibesHere · 07/05/2024 06:37

Is it a mid-life crisis? I suddenly wanted piercings. But a tattoo would be a step too far for me.

MaisieMacabe · 07/05/2024 06:39

Your body, your choice.
Don't do anything for the sake of being "trendy" though.
Try it out with a Sharpie first.

Itsneverme · 07/05/2024 06:41

I have that tattoo got it when I was about 14! I'm a lot older than that now lol. Never regretted any of my tattoos even the ones I had done under age.

I did put the other reason did you fail to read that about being deaf

MN is very anti-tattoos so you won't get balanced opinions here Grin

If you want it then go for it! It's hardly something huge or controversial and it's easily covered up.
