Body Art and the Meaning Behind it

How do different types of people view tattoos?

Tattoos used to be seen as evil, trashy, or a disgrace by some people but in the past few years tattoos have become more common and less frowned upon.

According to a study, 24 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 50 are tattood.

The stereotypes will still continue even though more and more people are getting tattood even though many adults with real world jobs have them.

Some professionals, like doctors and lawyers, have tattoos and it does not affect their performance. Some people may be worried that if their doctor had tattoos then he might not be as qualified as other doctors but that is not the case. Having ink on your body does not change who you are, it just makes you more original.

People usually get tattoos that mean something and they want a permanent reminder of it. Others get tattoos because the body is a canvas and tattoo artists can make the ink change the body into an art piece. There are other people who get them just because they can.

No matter the reason a person gets a tattoo, it?s a part of them and they shouldn?t be judged for it.

I talked with some of my friends to see if I could get pictures of their tattoos with descriptions. All of them were not only willing to share their body art but were excited to have others view it.
