I can't think of a single enthusiasm, sentiment, obsession, or statement that I felt or expressed at 20 y/o that I still felt the same way about when I was 30 y/o and 40 y/o. I'm very glad that I don't have to wear those long-discarded views inked into my body. Not to mention that visible tatoos lock you out from many jobs.
I have a tribal tattoo on the inside of my right forearm. Everyone that managed to make it through the British Combat Tracking School in Malaysia (not many) got the tattoo. Everytime I look at it I am reminded of what I had to go through to get it. Has never hindered me in any job interview (as I have never been rejected). I always get asked about it and what it means. By the way I am presently a prosecuting attorney, but have worked in firms.
