This is true, I was responding to the parent post in particular. Right now, you can't be certain and that's part of the allure. Many (most?) people, for instance, get tattoos to commemorate important events or people. The entire point of a tattoo in those cases is that it's permanent.

The more fundamental point of a tattoo is that it's decorative. There is an entire genre of tattoo ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower-back_tattoo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower-back_tattoo ) which is definitely not supposed to commemorate anything other than the sentiment "hey, look at me!"
