I have a BUNCH of tats. When I got my first ones done I was 18 and really didn't even know what I wanted. All I knew was that I wanted Ink on my body somewhere because I had waited so long to do it. So basically I got something that I thought I would never regret. (And really I don't and don't think I ever will)
Of coarse I was nervous about the first ones, hell at that point I didn't even know if I was ever going to get anymore or not. But I knew that they were going to last forever. And that is something you REALLY need to think about.
I have seen many 18 year olds go out and get neck tattoos, shit on their hands, ect. not even thinking about what career they will have in the future. And really this is a bad decision because it can really limit what you want to do with your life.
So my advice to you is to start with something small dude, something that can be covered up with clothing. Then if you like it enough start getting more. But REALLY think about it before you ever get a tattoo that cannot be covered up. I have damn near both arms completely sleeved, but if you were to see me on the streets you wouldn't even know it as I dress as professional as possible for my career.
Hope this helps bro and really think about your first, it lasts forever!
