"I don’t have any plans to get a tattoo now. I might get one in the future but it will be something little. I would say that getting a tattoo is a personal choice and a form of self-expression. Tattoos can hold deep meaning and symbolism for individuals. Also, they can be a way to celebrate one's culture, beliefs, or personal experiences. It's important to carefully consider the design and placement of the tattoo, as well as any potential cultural or professional implications. Ultimately, it's about embracing one's individuality and making a decision that feels right for oneself."
