you'd cry and run out as soon as the needle touches your skin

I would first research to see if there's any underlying "presumptions" or unintended messages people of said culture could jump to before committing to getting specifically inked. Something as trivial as skin tattoos can end up being bigger investments than some eager people realize.

I have known peers who lived in the U.S. and acted like big fans of their cultural heritage from other continents despite not experiencing any of it in person. Then they made some costly decisions to "celebrate" said heritage without doing some research only to find out during travel that "their people" in said other countries rolled their eyes and laughed at such modifications as "typical American" ignorance.

Not saying that's your deal here. I just suggest you check around before getting certain body mods and be honest with yourself about how far you're really willing to take it. Maybe examine how things for people turned out after taking the same plunge. What changes can happen, what maintenance if any is involved, etc.
