Think about whose opinions and advice you trusted (say) five or ten years ago. Then ask if you still value those opinions quite so much today.
Again, so what? It's not my problem if someone regrets a tattoo they got and it shouldn't be your problem either. Humans have been getting tattoos for thousands of years and will continue to do so in the future. The "copycat mindset" you mention stems from the fact that humans imitate in order to feel included in a group. It's been going on since the beginning of time in all aspects of life.

What does past advice have to do with anything here? Do I still heed good advice from my parents from 5 years ago? Of course.

I'm not sure what your issue is here. Perhaps you just like stirring the pot.
