A tattoo (much like a dog) is not just for one special occasion, it's for life.
So, it's no wonder that so much thought and effort goes into picking the right one before you get it permanently stamped on your body.
As they say, you should always think before you ink.
In this case, it was the tattoo parlour who decided not to go ahead with a tattoo that a Dublin girl had her heart set on.
The woman was furious that Tallaght Ink Tattoo Studio had refused her request to get her own name on her boyfriend's arm.
She said: "Very rude and very judge mental [sic] people. If they don't like the tattoo, they won't do it. Would not recommend.
However, the tattoo studio did offer a free session for the girl if everything panned out for him and her in a few year's time.
They said: "Very sorry we wouldn't tattoo your name in large script on your boyfriend's forearm.
"As we said, if you're still very much in love in a few years, we will do it for free. We love a good love story here at the studio."
Harsh but probably for the best just in case they don't work out.
