Transcript

I deeply regret the tattoos I got when I was 16 and alt I got tattoos when I was 16 to 17 years old and I regret it so much. I have a snake on my back and my prefrontal cortex wasn't developed. I was super alternative at the time and I can convince myself that I wanted to be covered in tattoos. This one I got it in the city h2o was filmed in AUS I got this tattoo front and center on my arm. It is a Fibonacci spiral and you can find it all the time in nature. And then it's also a clock to represent time exists, it's a man-made construct. I think it has a really cool meaning. I just wish it was smaller and didn't resemble the cochlea of an ear or a seashell. This one I will not get removed. The mermaid. I really like the mermaid. It's kind of hidden and it's just a really little accent. And then I also have this thick and poke from when I was like 14, which I don't hate. I like it. But these two I might get removed. It's just removal can take up to three years and it's really painful. And I don't know if I hate them that much. But they definitely don't match my vibe anymore.
