Even those who might not have considered it in the past.
However, experts advise individuals to carefully consider their decision, as tattoos are permanent and can be challenging to remove.
There are also various types of tattoos to choose from, ranging from traditional body art to cosmetic tattoos, offering endless possibilities.
Despite this, one woman is urging people to think twice before committing to certain tattoo placements - particularly on the eyelids.

Mar, who uses the TikTok handle , posted a video sharing her warning with others.
The beauty fan revealed that she got an eyeliner tattoo when she was a teenager, but is now regretting her choices.
Eyeliner tattoos involve using a pigment to enhance the appearance of the eyes whilst aiming for you to use less makeup.
Eyeliner tattoos are applied using a small tattoo machine and ink.

“I need to put like two layers of P. Louise Powder on top to cover it completely.”
P.Louise is a makeup brand that can be bought online.
She showed the camera the top of her eyelid which clearly showed that dark black eyeliner which had faded.
Mar also added in the caption of the video that it was “maybe my biggest mistake ever.”
Her video gained lots of attention with many people rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “Yours at least faded to grey. mine faded blue and I spent 4x more getting it off than I spent on getting it done.”

To which Mar replied: “I'm considering getting it removed; is the process painful?”
And then replied: “I eventually found a plastic surgeon/laser clinic that has the eye caps. So much numbing, it still hurt like heck.”
A second added: “I’ll never get permanent makeup because trends are always changing.”

Whilst a third wrote: “I have been wearing eyeliner every single day since I was 13, I'm 21 now I think it'd be great for me.”
But Mar warned: “I was also wearing winged eyeliner every day since I was 13, and now I'm 24 and hate it.”
Tattoo Do's and Don'ts
1. Think, think and think some more
Tattoos done on a whim are far more likely to lead to regret than a tattoo you thought long and hard about. Think about why you want what you've chosen. And if you still want it after a few months, then get it.
2. Age restrictions apply
You must be 18 years old to be tattooed in the UK.
3. Don't haggle over the price
When you go to a tattoo shop the price is the price. You are paying for an artist’s time and skills, they charge what they believe those things are worth.
4. Don't get tattooed while you're hungry
Eat before you go for your tattoo session and make sure you're hydrated. You’re about to be subjected to a period of sustained physical discomfort, if you’re feeling a little weak from hunger or you’re dehydrated things will not go as smoothly as they should.
5. Don't drink alcohol before you get tattooed
If you are drunk or under the influence of drugs, don’t go for a tattoo. In fact, if your tattooist has anything at all about them they will turn you away if you are clearly under the influence of any intoxicating substances. I’d also avoid drinking the night before, even a few drinks will thin your blood and make your bleed more.
