It turns out, they were expressing the very sentiments I used to justify getting my first tattoo. Which I gave myself as a birthday present, nigh on 5 years ago today:

My actual words were: "Look, mom, if I ever become the sort of person who doesn't want a mermaid tattooed on her thigh, I don't want to know myself."

Half a decade and two degrees later, it's still true.
