Personally, I would have regretted each of the tattoos I would have gotten during each era of my past life.
I am looking forward to visiting Japan and being allowed in to a bath house (onsen) because I am tattoo free: https://www.kashiwaya.org/e/magazine/onsen/tattoos.html
I have Japanese tattoos where does that place me?
How about another example. Have a child.
Dude that link is about a tattoo friendly place. Anyway nobody really cares everyone is keeping to themselves and even the Japanese are covered in English lettering same way we're covered in kanji go figure.
Yo! But you don't know whether you would've regretted them had you gotten them. But then again some people get them for the wrong reasons, granted.
You should only get one when you can practically see it coming out from under your skin.
Try getting a tattoo for an example of this
Edit; it's very right you can't decide rationally and that's why we're emotional beings but on the other hand given you have already done it once you emerge on the other side chances are you'll be pleased
If you don't want to get a tattoo try wearing professional clothing to work for a month
