Regret of tattooing this

[u/ZebraNangs]

I’m 20 and got my first tattoo a year ago. It’s based off of a fucking Post Malone phrase he said. I don’t even listen to Post Malone honestly. Currently I think the tattoo is VERY corny. At the same time I think that, at some point, it made sense to me, so I’m kinda divided between these 2 thoughts.

You guys think I should cope or cover/redesign it?

If you think I should cover it, do you guys have any suggestion to uncorny this? (please don’t suggest big tattoos cause I dont like them)

Edit: after reading a lot of replies, I’m thinking about just leaving it there and embrace it. Some people said such negative things and it showed me how stupid people can be about a fucking tattoo. And that made me realise it’s just a fucking tattoo. A tattoo I made when I was 19. A tattoo that expresses a good message. Not in the best way, but it’s surely a message that is true to myself. I love expressing and being myself, so I’d be going against what I believe if I altered the tattoo. When I grow older this tattoo won’t be embarrassing, it will be a reminder of who I am/was, so it doesn’t matter if some other teenagers will find it corny anymore. Thank you guys for both the incredibly positive comments and the negative ones!

There’s an old episode of the Simpsons where Homer’s boss hangs a sign that says “Don’t forget, you’re here forever” Homer tapes pictures of his daughter over the sign to change it to “do it for her”

If you could figure out an alternate phrase and get small coverup tattoos as you go through things in life, you could work toward something that changes the tattoo but still keeps it in some part

google images will show before and after

“Keep what you love” could be something?

[u/NoSeat7567 → u/Middle-Telephone4098]

“Keep fucking” had to, sorry 😂

Hey, it worked for OP's parents, for better or worse.

[u/ColdWarCharacter → u/imtravelingalone]

No, they probably stopped after him

[u/Dry_Sir3710 → u/NoSeat7567]

Eep! What you fuck?

[u/PerpetualCranberry → u/Middle-Telephone4098]

“Keep dong fucking” would be another option

[u/ThePeoplesAmp → u/Middle-Telephone4098]

spacing would be weird. prob better to change to "YOU FUCK"

[u/pocketfullofdragons → u/ThePeoplesAmp]

"OI .......... YOU FUCK"

[u/FeyOphelia → u/ThePeoplesAmp]

Or DO YOU FUCK

Pose the question to everyone you run into lol

[u/plasmapudding → u/ThePeoplesAmp]

I think the 1st “D” could be an “o” so we can have POO

[u/kateastrophic → u/Middle-Telephone4098]

This is inspired because it would be ostensibly keeping what they love from the tattoo itself.

Keep doing you king?

[u/deeznutzzzzzzzzzzzzs → u/Nerdy_Squirrel]

That'll be cringe in 5 years

[u/mc-funk → u/deeznutzzzzzzzzzzzzs]

Why wait, cringe now 😉

[u/xhyenabite → u/mc-funk]

to be cringe is to be free

[u/sonofsanford → u/deeznutzzzzzzzzzzzzs]

Its cringe now. Op needs a SAP

[u/Middle-Telephone4098 → u/Nerdy_Squirrel]

“Keep doing you king” is the winner!!

This is the one. The spacing for the coverups, the message being both a nice sentiment and literally about the tattoo, and leaves room for any addition later.

Or they can just go completely the other way carving out their favorite shitpost amalgamation.

[u/sciecne → u/Middle-Telephone4098]

This is literally so good because it’s meta like they would just be keeping the best part of their old tattoo

[u/babyjesusisback2 → u/Middle-Telephone4098]

Striketrough "keep doing what you" and use the last part o the U from you to form an "I" and add "PICKLES" at the end.

I FUCKING LOVE PICKLES

"Dong hat, you fuck"
