A metaphoric slang term for something "plumbed" onto yourself, that you cannot easily remove within the foreseeable future. For example, your preference to read physical books over e-books due to screen time limits imposed by parents.
My love for physical books is like a tattoo; it’s something I can’t easily change, especially once my parents set rigid strict screen time limits.

AFK pain feels even more intense as you go to bed whilst having not watched YouTube during the day, which is as unpleasant as going to bed whilst being hungry. AFK pain is more commonly experienced by persons who have subscribed to lots of YouTube channels in a row (i.e. 600+ channels) compared to those who subscribe to few to no YouTube channels.
After a long day of family drama and no YouTube, I felt that serious AFK pain creeping in as I lay in bed, knowing I had missed out on all the latest uploads.
