Did your tongue need stitches?
The first thing that came to my mind is a quote my Dad often used: “Don’t shit where you eat”.
Not quite. But it wasn’t a pleasant experience 
You should get a Onken Life tattoo.
Was in the chair 2 days ago. Another session and my baba should be done. I also have enough shit tattoos to warrant not getting a yoghurt one
When I was a kid I badly wanted tattoos. Grandpa had a green classic memorial cross to his mother, 1917. “MOM”. I had a co-worker fully sleeved from San Quentin, who advised me thus: “If you can walk around with a paper version pinned to your shirt for a year, then get it.” 
He was recieving laser tattoo removal on his hands, state-funded at 50k$/session, so he could regain employment after prison. When swastikas stifle your resume… 
He ran dope from Iowa to San Diego at 16 for the 'Angels.
So, I’m inkless & let my lanced ears heal a looong time ago…not good for getting in fights. 
I have never understood why it’s assumed someone is of bad character because they have tattoos. I have no swastikas. Had a few jibes on the prison yard like “oi NF” (national front) of which Im no affliation. And born around 15-20 years too late too. damn my racist ignorance for having 3 stars tattooed on my face?
One second these would I’m sure constitute racial aggravation but they were black so that’s impossible right??
Cover up is not an option if on your face but I’m sure you can get it taking off with a laser on the NHS if it effects you mentally mate. May be worth a visit to your doctor 
I wouldn’t dream of having them removed. They do a fair job weeding unnecessary judgemental dickheads from my life bro
People are judgemental mate. I don’t think we could ever change that. It’s just human nature. Don’t judge a book by its cover is used often. Most of the people that use that statement would likely avoid people with tattoos.
