Following a recent study published on B&T in mid July that found 48 per cent of Aussies hate tattoos, some new research has come across the B&T news desk that 28.6 per cent of women and 29.7 per cent of men now regret getting inked.

If you’re thinking about getting ink done but want to avoid these common pitfalls, continue reading to see what Casino.org discovered.
