Who cares if others think it's a midlife crisis, do what makes you happy. I'm nearing 40 and still get a couple tattoos a year. I love the feeling of a new tattoo, it boosts my confidence and gives me a sense of accomplishment for sitting through the fairly painful process.

Yeah.. Do it.. i just turned 40th this year and got my first tattoo last year..

Don't allow your life to be defined by what you imagine other people will think about it..

Exactly. Part of the fun of tattoos is everyone thinking you look stupid and being able to practice the stoicism of not caring what other people think and focusing on the intrinsic joy of doing what you want.

I can do that without getting a tattoo though.
