I don't regret any tattoos.

I regret the piercings.

Got my ears pierced when I was a kid, hated wearing earrings and I still have holes in my ears.

At 18 I got a belly button peircing that was even more annoying, so that's just another hole now. If you're getting any part of your body pierced that you have to move, really think about what you have to do for the next two weeks because you'll be VERY aware of it.

I had to think a lot to remember then I saw someone mention their knee and I remembered I have have a scar on my own knee that is product of my own stupidity.

I forget it exists for the most part, but if I had a chance I would absolutely avoid going through it. I fell off a skateboard and got a deep gush on my knee. It was stupid because I've never been much into skateboarding. I was just trying to pick it up hoping to "be cool" and impress someone. Stupid shit like that you know.

A few scars but nothing significant. I have a shit ton of tattoos and piercings, I have a forked tongue, and I used to have a magnetic implant. Zero regrets.

I don't regret the words of the tattoo I have, I just regret that I didn't do a consultation first and went right into it. It's... Not good and hardly legible. The coloring also looks bad imo, which is frustrating because I really looked at the artists profile beforehand and liked it quite a bit. Ouch.

I very mildly regret getting my upper ear pierced when I was a teen. It caused the collagen to push to the back of my ear, creating a little bump. It has gotten somewhat better over the years.

I regret my snake bites, only because I want a slightly different piercing in the same place instead lol

Having jewellery in your mouth gets annoying when you can't stop unconsciously messing with it. I've swallowed so many of them at this point...

I regret my snake bites

Oddly I was bit by an actual rattlesnake, and I do not regret that. While I almost died from it, it is a unique experience that gave me a different perspective on my life, and nature. The hospital bill, yeah that is a regret.

I don't regret it, but some people say I should. A full-width back tattoo of the US Confederacy leadership. The last place I lived in the US was Georgia, very close to Stone Mountain. I spent nearly every weekebd there: running, hiking, fishing, or just enjoying the sun with a book. So, when I decided to leave the US, I wanted to take my best memory with me and got the Stone Mountain carving on my back.
