One of the most popular forms of body art, in the present times, tattoo can be described as a permanent marking on the body. In the art of tattooing, colored ink is inserted into the body, through the layers of skin. The result is a change of the skin pigment, whether for decorative purposes or otherwise. Undertaken since the prehistoric times, tattooing art is today practiced almost throughout the world. One can find a wide variety of tattoos being offered by the tattoo parlors, ranging from the abstractions to stylized designs. Most people think that tattoos are for hooligans or people who don’t want an actual job, but I can tell you this isn’t the case. Tattoos are about expressing yourself through the art you put on your skin; it’s all about what you love and memories. Tattooing is very addictive but with the right tattoo artist you'd never have to get them in moderation. Whenever you see some one walk down the street with tattoos all over them yeah you’re going to be a little intimidated but it’s nothing to bad mouth about. When you say that it’s trashy for someone to have these pieces of art on their skin, then you seriously need a reality check and your thrash talking some one’s self expression, and that just lame. This type of art should be respected and not looked down upon by society, but sadly it is. People just need to realize that some people are very strong about individuality and this is a great way to show it. The history of tattoos started over 5000 years ago and is as diverse as the people who wear them. People just need to stop being so close minded and get over tattoos because they certainly aren’t going away anytime soon. Through tattoos you can tell what interests the person, family history, what their passion is, ect. This art isn’t just something to put on your skin to freak your parents out; it’s to show your personality on the outside as well as the inside. There are now different types of tattoo ink; black light ink is one of the most recent and interesting ones. When put on the skin the naked eye cannot see it but when you’re in a black-lighted room it is clearly visible. Tattoo enthusiasts may refer to tattoos as "Ink", "Tats", "Art", "Pieces", or "Work"; and to the tattooists as "Artists". People should not fear tattoos; they should embrace them and have an opened mind about them. Because that’s really what self expression is about anyways; being open minded and not let anything or anyone stand in your way of doing what you want to do or of being happy. This type of body art should have respect and not be talked about with such foul attitudes. For some people getting tattooed actually makes them emotionally and physically happy to no end and that’s why they get so many; they just absolutely enjoy the creation of art on their skin.
I agree with a lot of what you say on here to a point. I have a tattoo and plan on getting another one in the future (as soon as I get the design exactly how I want it), but I also think that if someone expects to be taken seriously in a professional setting, they need to realize that having a tattoo up your neck and sleeves up and down both arms is probably not a good idea. However, with tattooing being self-expression, there probably aren't too many accountants or optomotrists who long to have a spider web tattooed on their forehead. People with an abundance of visible tattoos also tend to exist in social situations and careers that are accepting of it.
