love how about you?

Why is it that some people think that having tattoos are the worst thing in the world? I totally disagree. Tattoos are not that bad, well, they are not bad at all. People get them all the time. I love all my tattoos, and I’m not finished getting all of them yet.

They are amazing. I understand most people believe in not marking up your body, or others think of it as harming your skin, then you have the ones who just think it’s living life and having fun.

In today’s culture, body art and piercings are a popular form of self-expression. Tattoos in particular are a common way of displaying your individuality. Because they are permanent, however, a lot of consideration should go into the decision to get a tattoo.

The first question you may have is whether or not a tattoo will have a harmful effect on your skin. The process does involve, of course, needles and ink.

The tattoo itself, once healed, is not bad for your skin. A tattoo is essentially a series of punctures that insert dye into different levels of the skin, so it is by nature an invasive process. When done correctly and in a sterile environment, complications are uncommon and the only immediate discomforts may be bleeding or pain.

My definition of a tattoo is a completely personal choice that has nothing to do with what anyone else thinks. Whether society likes it or not, many people have tattoos and will continue to get them. So guess what? No one gives a darn if you think tattoos are trashy; so shut up about it.

Many people think tattoos are just trashy. They put people with tattoos in categories such as gang members, convicts, dopers or trailer trash.

I don’t agree with that statement.
