Luckily no. Have earings, never regretted them. Have a tattoo I drew myself that came to me in a dream, which seemed pretty timeless, at least to me. Still happy with it and of where it is.

Thought of getting more tattoos, but glad I never did. Never could come up with another design I would be 100% content with, or that I was certain that I would never outgrow. I had friends and ex-partners that got tattoos on a whim or impulsively, getting a tattoo can be fairly cheap, getting a tattoo removed can easily be thousands of dollars. And that is assuming there is no scarring.

I don’t regret the words of the tattoo I have, I just regret that I didn’t do a consultation first and went right into it. It’s… Not good and hardly legible. The coloring also looks bad imo, which is frustrating because I really looked at the artists profile beforehand and liked it quite a bit. Ouch.

10" chest scar from open heart surgery. Some days I wake up, forget its there, then see it in the bathroom mirror.

“Ooooh… riiiight… that was a whole thing.”

I’ve done so much self harm for over 12 years leaving so many scars. Got into skincare years ago which faded many of the old scars, but family finds it so funny that something below them is doing something out of its league instead of just knowing its place as scum below society so I’ve relapsed again with new scars from punching walls.

Be careful about offering up identifiable information that you can’t change on a random lemmy post, especially if you’re in the U.S.

I very mildly regret getting my upper ear pierced when I was a teen. It caused the collagen to push to the back of my ear, creating a little bump. It has gotten somewhat better over the years.

I don’t regret any tattoos.

I regret the piercings.

Got my ears pierced when I was a kid, hated wearing earrings and I still have holes in my ears.

At 18 I got a belly button peircing that was even more annoying, so that’s just another hole now. If you’re getting any part of your body pierced that you have to move, really think about what you have to do for the next two weeks because you’ll be VERY aware of it.

I have 2 ugly tattoos that I got done on the same day, by the owner of the shop nonetheless. One of them looks like a drawing made by a 6 year old. The meaning behind the tattoos are basically gone, yes, but I don’t regret that at all…. just the poor quality. Even if I got tattooed an alien sharting itself in graphic detail, I’d have zero regrets if it was done well.

I blame myself to be honest, I wasn’t ready for tattoos and had the wrong mindset about it all. But the experience taught me valuable lessons:

Don’t lower your standards. Don’t feel like your appointment seals your fate — if they aren’t getting the design right, cancel and find a better suited artist. It’s permanent and it’s your body. Also, there’s no “saving money” with a tattoo you’ll end up paying to get removed later. A professionally-done tattoo is well worth the money and travel. Find well-known artists in your community, and talk with them before you even consider letting them tattoo you. Online reviews of shops aren’t good for vetting individual artists.

I got an ugly scar on my pinky from a bullying incident at school when I was 12. It’s not like this was their intention, but it got out of hand and a door slammed hard on my finger.
I had to get rushed to the hospital, got stitches and a massive bandage for half a year.
The bullies never apologized and it got brushed off as an accident.

It’s a reminder of bad times during my teenage years and I still get sad when I look at it.

No tattoos, only one piercing - a prince Albert, still pretty new but I don’t see myself regretting it. I miss standing to pee at a regular toilet but can still manage urinals just fine. I might have timed it better, I didn’t tell my wife I was gonna get it done and it turned out she was kind of planning on having sex with me that weekend. She’s excited to try it out in a couple weeks though.

I don’t regret any of my scars, at worse they’re a reminder not to do something stupid, but most of them are just a fun story. I have one on my left eyebrow I got in a mosh pit that I think is pretty cool. One of my first dates with my wife involved her taking me for a quick stop to get my stitches removed.

A few scars but nothing significant. I have a shit ton of tattoos and piercings, I have a forked tongue, and I used to have a magnetic implant. Zero regrets.

If that counts, I regret my nipples. I mean, it’s a graft of my own nipples, and I really dislike them. Plus, they hurt.

I have a badly healed broken pinky. It only hurts when I grip someone hard for a long time (get your mind out of the gutter!) such as when doing sports like rock climbing or fencing.

I regret letting my helix piercing heal up. I need to get it re-done.

Stretch marks…

I have a scar in my left armpit. I have several patches of skin all over my body which looks and behaves funky. I have brown straight hair but where my funky skin is I have blond spare curly hair which doesn’t grow long. I got it lasered on my neck and face as a teenager because I was told it needs to go because insurance didn’t want to continue paying for an acid creme to make it brighter (the skin is also darker and uneven). + random assholes asking me if I didn’t wash my neck. Under my arm the skin got often inflamed from sweating and looked like a rough naked mole. They tried to laser it and I got bad scarring and they decided to cut it away. Roughly 10 cm. The scar is ugly as hell. I can’t feel shit and it is uneven and hard to shave around. Lifting my arm for sport like jumping jacks hurt. Lucky me I hate sport anyway.
