I’m sure everyone has noticed that lately more and more people are getting tattoos. It seems as though tattoos are an accessory to the outfit these days. I personally would love a tattoo but after doing some research of what actually happens in the process has made me rethink the idea. Tattoos, in my opinion, are a form of art. Many people get tattoos inked on their body for some special reason. Many tattoos have a deeper meaning, if you ask about it. The only downfall is that they are completely permanent. When pondering what tattoo I would want to get, I think of two questions:
1. What special meaning does it have to me?
and 2. Ten years from now….will I still love the idea of this particular tattoo? Or will I think it’s dumb and go through the painful process of having it removed?
These two questions are very important to consider. Another thought process you should have before getting a tattoo (that goes along with my second question) …what tattoo would I have gotten ten years ago when I was nine years old? Thinking back to my nine year old self, I probably would have gotten a puppy dog. Ten years from now would I be embarrassed of the tattoo I get today? Think about it.
