&gt; Wouldn&#x27;t it make more sense to just be certain you want one before you get it and save hundreds of dollars?<p>Sure. But how can you be certain? I have no idea what it&#x27;s like to have a tattoo, or whether I&#x27;d regret it. Would I be too self-conscious about having it? Or would I enjoy seeing it in the dark?<p>I&#x27;ve had one specific one in mind for most of my life, but I don&#x27;t know if I want it. If I were able to get a fading one, I&#x27;d be way more likely to jump on it. The increased cost is nothing compared to being able to decide if I actually like the damn thing.
