I’m planning to get one for a few weeks on my arm, so if anyone had it, how was the experience and did it hurt during the process of getting one?
I don’t know anyone who had tattoos in general so I had to ask. I want it to look really nice and have it for a week or so.
Not really, insofar as temporariness is counterposed to permanence. This view comes from a misunderstanding of the concept of permanence: what is permanent is not necessarily eternal. Permanent is more like enduring, in the sense of lasting indefinitely, until further notice, or until longer than one could reasonably be expected to need it.
When we compare a tent to permanent housing, for example, we are not comparing it either to a structure which will stand for thousands of years or a home from which the occupant will not be allowed to move away for their lifetime.
Same thing with ‘permanent’ vs. ‘dry erase’ markers and so on. Tattoos are only temporary in the completely trivial sense that everything is.
Comrade, you’ve gone full philosophical on us.
Please forgive me! I’ve had this illness my entire life
No need for forgiveness comrade, philosophy sets the mind free, like socialism and communism set the workingclass free.
(Yes I know that socialism and communism entails a lot of philosophy and isn’t only purely economical)
