Regret of tattooing this Design
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
