Currently, I don’t have any tattoos, and the reason is simple—I still live with my mom, and she’s definitely not the type to approve of any drawings or designs on my body. Growing up, she always emphasized a clean, natural look, so I respect her views and understand why she feels that way. Even though I don’t have any issues with tattoos, I’ve chosen to wait out of respect for her values and beliefs.
That said, I would actually love to have a tattoo someday, especially if it symbolizes something important, like my future wife or kids. The idea of having something meaningful and personal on my skin appeals to me. However, I’m not interested in covering my body in tattoos. I tend to prefer smaller, subtle designs that aren’t overly flashy or dominant. When I see people with large tattoos, I do respect their choice, but it doesn’t inspire me to get one myself. For me, simple tattoos often look more refined and even add a certain charm, making someone look classy and presentable. It’s amazing how a well-placed, minimal tattoo can enhance someone’s look without overwhelming their appearance.
If I were to get a tattoo, I’d definitely keep it subtle. I’d prefer something that isn’t easily noticeable, like a tattoo on my shoulders. That way, it’s only visible if I wear sleeveless shirts, giving it a bit of a “hidden” appeal. I think tattoos on the shoulders look great, especially if you’re in shape. Ideally, by the time I get one, I’d like to have built up my arms at the gym, so the tattoo would look even better on strong shoulders. The combination of a simple tattoo on a well-defined arm can really give a striking and sophisticated vibe without drawing too much attention.
When I see people with tattoos, my eyes are immediately drawn to the design itself—it’s the first thing that stands out to me. I love seeing the creativity and meaning people put into their tattoos, and the design speaks volumes about their personality and style. After that, I notice the size and placement. I believe the right design with the right placement can enhance a person’s look, while overly large or flashy tattoos can sometimes take away from that. Personally, I admire people who get tattoos that complement their body rather than dominate it.
If I were to choose a design right now, I’d likely go with something similar to what my brother has—a simple cross on both arms. His tattoos are subtle and meaningful, and you wouldn’t even know he has them unless he takes his shirt off. That kind of simplicity and subtlety is exactly what I’d want for myself, as it carries a message but keeps things understated. Or something like that on Foden's neck even though it can be noticeable, i still love the meaning it holds "47" which was the time his grandfather died and he decided to also put on that number on his shirt. For me, tattoos should feel personal and meaningful, and I think their's symbolizes something strong and grounding.
Taken from here
In the future, when the time is right, I will definitely go for it, but for now, I’m happy to admire tattoos from afar.
