It shouldn't matter

As long as you love your ink, it doesn't matter if they have a meaning or not.

I have tattoos I picked out on the spot during a flash event and ones planned with meaning... I love them all the same. There is always a story, doesnt always have to be a deep meaningful one.

Nothing at all, some of mine are purely because I thought it looked nice ☺️

Tattoos are meant to mean something to the individual. Doesnt really need a story

Nothing unless that's what you want. They don't need to have a history.

It's not important at all. What's more important is how diligently the master performs their work😄✍️🏻

The moment you decide you get one the story is already there, it means stg to YOU and that's the only thing that really matters

Every tattoo has its own story.

I think that both the experience and story matters. My biggest tattoos were planned and the symbols/images used were very personal. I also have flash tattoos that fit with the previous work and made me smile. I consider anything that brings joy or remembrance to be enough to give meaning. Tattoos are an art form, you just happen to carry them around with you.

To me, the visual appeal of a tattoo is what counts the most, not necessarily its meaning. As people grow and change, those tattoos represent memories from a different chapter in my life.

They mean whatever you want them to mean depending which person asks.
