Getting ink does not by any means make you tuff, make sure you get something that you can enjoy for yourself. If you want to be tough, go learn how to be tough, join the military, a gym, or a fight gym! Most guys that ARE tough don't have to look any certain way, and you will never catch them acting tough, unless someone needs help that can't protect themself! Just my opinion........... and go get the tatt man, but because you like it, it won't make you a super hero! (I have seen underage girls get tattoed, and they did not look any tougher to me when they got up! HA!)
