I got rid of all mine after getting disillusioned with every one of the causes they represented.

This is the main reason I've never gotten a tattoo - how I feel about whatever it is will almost certainly change.

But you can also use them as a reminder of how you felt/who you were when you got them.

Even someone who get a very trendy tattoo should keep it: "look how I used to follow every trend and how I evolved because I would never do something like that now".

Biologically and philosophically, tattoos are scars.

Or you could just keep a journal and not, literally, wear your past on your sleeve.

Why not both?

A journal can be lost and/or destroyed quite easily.

Whereas you skin is always there. And if it's not, then you have much bigger scars.
