I’m planning to get one for a few weeks on my arm, so if anyone had it, how was the experience and did it hurt during the process of getting one?

I don’t know anyone who had tattoos in general so I had to ask. I want it to look really nice and have it for a week or so.

        Matter still decays over time and will at one point cease to exist. Newton’s second law is not a steadfast physical rule, it is an assumption made under classical mechanics to simply streamline physics, as the amount of matter that disintegrates, is annihilated, or decays over a “small” period of time in a given system is so small, that is makes little sense to take it into account.

        However, it is still decaying, and at one point all matter will have decayed away or be annihilated.

      Not really, insofar as temporariness is counterposed to permanence. This view comes from a misunderstanding of the concept of permanence: what is permanent is not necessarily eternal. Permanent is more like enduring, in the sense of lasting indefinitely, until further notice, or until longer than one could reasonably be expected to need it.

      When we compare a tent to permanent housing, for example, we are not comparing it either to a structure which will stand for thousands of years or a home from which the occupant will not be allowed to move away for their lifetime.

      Same thing with ‘permanent’ vs. ‘dry erase’ markers and so on. Tattoos are only temporary in the completely trivial sense that everything is.
