Words and opinions change. Obviously. Same reason you don't want to get a girlfriend's name tattooed, you may not want to get song lyrics or maxims put on your body. Let's say you were Smash Mouth superfan #1 and got "Only shooting stars break the mold" on your ass. Yay! Then you're 10 years older, you have some nostalgic love for their old hits, but you don't relate to these lyrics anymore. After all, you fell in love, got a normal job, and realized you are the happiest man in the world doing a regular routine and that mold-breaking is not in your agenda. Then you see that one liveleak video of the Smash Mouth bassist beating his wife. You go to the bathroom and stare at your ass in the mirror, disgusted, thinking of all the wonderful real art you could have put there instead.
