You know the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover?” The same rule can be changed into “Don’t judge a person by its ink.” Getting some body art inked is probably one of the best ways for self-expression—be it a drawing in remembrance of your past beliefs, shenanigans or a minimal tattoo filled with deep meanings. No tattoo design is meaningless or ugly because there’s always something bigger behind it. At least to the person who chose the unique tattoo.

We know the feeling: You’d like to get your first tattoo but are scared to make the leap. You have questions about how to pick a good design and what subject to choose, and you’re nervous about the commitment and wonder if you’ll ever regret getting one. In these cases, you can’t go wrong with a minimalist tattoo!

Beauty is pain, and spine tattoos are a perfect example of this. If you ever encounter a person with a spine tattoo, bear in mind that that individual is not afraid of anything. But on a serious note, tattoos going down the spine are extremely painful. Think 9/10 on the pain scale. This isn't surprising, considering the spine is a bony area full of nerve endings.
