20 Problems Only People With Tattoos Will Understand

2. Having An Unfinished Tattoo For Years Because You're Hopelessly Skint

What hurts more: outline or colour? The answer is C... your wallet.

The hardest part of the tattoo bug is not having any money for more. When an hour with an artist costs as much as a full day's work, it takes a lot of saving up to get a piece finished. You could always stop paying your bills in order to finish off that sleeve, but it's highly questionable your housemate is going to be so blown away by your outstanding ink that they completely overlook your share of the rent.

1. €œWhat Are You Going To Do When You€™re Old?€

When you get to the age of dentures and diapers, there's going to be more important things you're concerned about than what your tattoos make you look like. Your skin may start sagging and that rose may turn into a blancmange but it'll show the world you're a hell of a lot more than just a pensioner. Why people ask this question is still completely baffling: it just shows how society still deems tattoos as a 'non-respectable' quality, especially on senior citizens. When it boils down to it, the only difference between tattooed people and non-tattooed people is this: tattooed people don't care if you're not tattooed.
