THE BACHELOR | WABASH.EDU/BACHELOR | 7 AUSTIN RUDICELTHINKING ‘20 | STAFF WRITER ABOUT INKING • At some point in your life, you may have considered getting a tattoo. Perhaps you came across something with such significance in your life that you want it to be permanently displayed on your body. Maybe the popularity of tattoos in today’s world has made you consider following the trend. Whatever it may be, many are drawn towards the idea of inking up, but few are certain on the entirety of getting a tattoo. All have been given lectures on tattoos from friends, parents, and mentors alike. The point of the permanence of tattoos always come up in these talks, and for good reason. A tattoo might hold significance now, but think about what it will mean to you in the future. Getting your fraternity letters largely tattooed across the chest might seem like a great idea in college, but your 30 year old dad-bod self will think different when contemplating whether to go shirtless or not at the beach.
