Help me understand - Question about tattoos…

I’m a rare person who has none, but I don’t have an issue with others having them. Part of the reason is that I can’t think of anything that I would want on my skin the rest of my life. In other words, I’m too indecisive in general. I understand some get tattoos to memorialize people or events, but in my life there are things I thought I wanted to remember forever, but years later remembering those things brings up unpleasant emotions.

How do those with tattoos make that decision? I am assuming part of the appeal is the opposite - they want something they keep for life. Is this correct?

No motives at all, they had the money laying around so they also play the lottery and purchase future unworn clothes like everyone else. Its also still legal. The rich always think we are imbiciles so does it matter a whit? I see these types as ordinary and conformist as the snooty and uber misguided former "middle class" with its phony impossible morality and too much lawn and good old ww2 memories and too many troubled kids...
