Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, it’s normal to feel some regret after getting a tattoo, even if you liked the idea when you chose it. The feeling may fade as you get used to it, or it may mean you’d prefer to change or remove it.
Yes—tattoo regret is pretty common. The reality of seeing something permanent on your body can feel different from imagining it, and second-guessing can hit especially hard when the tattoo is fresh, looks different than you expected, or carries a memory or meaning that has changed.
