HELLO, TODAY I DECIDE TO DISCUSS THE MOST POPULAR TOPIC IN OUR 21 CENTURY... TATTOOS...
IN OUR 21 CENTURY WORLD THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE AND TOO MANY DIFFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT THIS ISSUE..
I HAVENT DONE ANY TATTOS ON MY BODU AND I THINK THAT GIRLS BODY SHOULD BE ALWAYS CLEANED AND BEAUTIFUL.. BUT I ALWAYS DREAMED ABOUT HAVING ONE S,ALL TATOO... I NEVER JUDJE PEOPLE HAVING EVEN THE WHOLE BODY WITH TATOOS.. I EVEN ADMIRE THEM...
HOWEVER, I HEARD SO MANY IRRITATIONAL ARGUMENTS ABOUT TATOOS AND THERE ARE MY ANSWERS.. IF I HAD A TATOO I WOULD ANSWER TO ALL OF THEM LIKE THAT...
What will happen when you get older?
People use this argument from 2 general angles. First, they attack the way tattoos will age as your skin ages and wrinkles.My skin will sag and wrinkle in the same way regardless of whether I have tattoos or not. Fine details in a tattoo may become obscured and colors may fade, but tattoos do not run like wet paint and can always be touched up if necessary. With advances in ink, the days of black tattoos turning into unidentifiable green blobs are long gone and modern tattoos generally age very well if taken care of properly.The other thing I often hear is, “You are going to be embarrassed by your tattoos when you are old and in a nursing home.”Considering the fact that close to 40% of people in my age group have tattoos, if I do end up in a nursing home when I’m older, I expect to be in good company, surrounded by others with tattoos. We can sit around sharing stories about our ink and reminiscing about our youth. Some may even continue getting tattooed, no matter how old they are.
People with tattoos are rebels, trying to stand out from the crowd.
The complete contradiction between these last two arguments is pretty much the only proof I need to show that blanket statements about people with tattoos will never apply to all tattooed people equally. A person who chooses to cover their face in tattoos is probably trying to stand out. But you cannot take an extreme example of something and try to universally apply it to all people who partake in the same activity at a different level. Like all things in life, there are varying degrees to be taken into consideration when talking about tattoos.
The Bible says tattoos are wrong
First, the bible does not say modern day, non-ritualistic tattoos are wrong. Read Leviticus 19 in its entirety, and be aware of the context. Unless your tattoo is being done as part of a pagan ritual, you are doing nothing wrong by getting one. People also love to proclaim “the body is a temple” and should be treated as such. Have you seen many temples? This one looks pretty well decorated to me.“But god made you perfect, and a tattoo is a desecration of god’s work.” God made me with terrible vision and I chose to permanently alter my eyes by undergoing laser eye surgery. Should I be condemned for this as well? After all, I chose to make permanent changes to the perfect body I was born with. Another point that I hardly see brought up is the fact that not everyone follows the same religion. Why should someone care about a misinterpreted, ancient law, printed in a religious book that they have no association with? If you want to avoid tattoos due to your own religious beliefs, that is fine. But don’t try to push those beliefs onto others who may not even be of the same faith.
You won’t be able to find a job.
Of course there are exceptions to this. If you happen to be a Japanese government worker, being forced to reveal even your hidden tattoos, I can’t help you. It isn’t the tattoos fault that your rights are being infringed upon.
Tattoos are only for sailors, criminals and gang bangers.
Please turn on the news, pick up a newspaper or look at the date in the corner of your computer screen. You see those last 4 digits that say 2012, that means we are well over 10 years into the 21st century. Times are changing, try not to get left behind.
I have never seen a tattoo that enhanced a persons beauty.
I typically see this comment made by men, in reference to women. “I have never seen a tattoo on a woman that made her look better.”, or some variant. It is usually followed by a statement about how they would never date a woman with tattoos.
The world would be a very boring place if everyone had the same standards of beauty. People are attracted to a certain hair color, eye color, body type, or any number of physical attributes. I may not prefer a woman who dies her hair blonde, but I’m not going to spend my days ranting about it and trying to convince them that they are wrong. What turns one person on may repulse the next. It’s called variety. You know, the spice of life.
I could not possibly capture everything written against tattoos in a single blog post, so this list is just of few of the many things I see written on a regular basis. If anyone wants to share their own, I would be happy to respond to them here.[list=1][/list]
P.S. What I don’t get is why so many people with Tattoos care what other people say about them. If you go on the internet writing stuff like this, you obviously care very deeply what other people think say about them.People with no regrets have no need to defend themselves because they genuinely don’t care what small minded people have to say about their personal choices. DONT JUDJE AND DO NOT CARE!
