But regrets are apart of life and you shouldn’t shy away from them. How will you grow as a person, emotionally and physically, if you never make any mistakes?

If you’re shy about getting a picture tattooed on your body, quotes are a good way to ease into the world of ink.

In simpler terms, it’ll be like a timeline of your life.

So if you’re getting writer’s block on what to get tattooed next, here are 25 awesome quotes to consider for your next tattoo.
