Has anyone every heard an elderly person say that they regretting getting their tattoo?  I haven't.  After major surgery, I spent 20 days in a nursing facility that also had full time residents.  My 75 year old roommate (female) had a tattoo of a butterfly that would have been just above the swell of her breasts when she was young.  She joked that it used to be on her boob, but now it's down to her waist.  I asked her if she regretted getting it, and she said, "Oh, no!  The things it's seen!"
