Tattoos. Tattoos. Tattoos. There are people against and people that really like tattoos, but who is right? Should I think it is a good or a bad thing? Maybe for the tattooists the art involved is worth the unbearable pain and sacrifice of being tattooed. For the religious, it is a sin to sacrifice one's body with so meaningless purpose.
But, in my opinion, why should we put our body in such dreadful, horrible, alarming pain for a bit of beautiful art on your body? If I had a tattoo on my chest or arm, I would see my funeral race by me in a blur. But here’s a question, "When did tattooing start?" The dangers involved in this procedure, the removal of a tattoo and society's reaction to a tattooed person surely makes someone think twice about it? I do not think it is worth it; thinking it is weird to have one's body penetrated many times by a needle to make only a drawing. So, why do people have tattoos? Why is it a common place nowadays? Probably because people see that the tattoo is a way of expression. It marks thoughts, opinions, and memories. But why can people be so downright selfish about their fucking self and how they look, to take advantage and mistreat their skin with such abusive art? I think it is wrong, selfish and immoral!

    "I'm the one they call young./ Body marked up like the subway in Harlem./ N*ggas say it's "hard", white people think it's awesome./ Chest, neck tatted, whole sleeve on my arm done." People view tattooing as an odd and beautiful form of art; very interesting and more expressive of sentiment than any other thing. It is more fascinating than costly jewelry, and cannot be lost, borrowed, or stolen. It is a memento we can keep through life and retain after death.…

    Tattoos are a permanent mark on the body, something that I think anyone thinking about getting a tattoo should put some serious thought into.

    Let’s start by picking your brain for a moment. If I were to ask you what your opinions were towards tattooing, what would your answer be? You may be surprised to know that within our society today, regardless of what your answer was, we could assume that people are divided based on each alternating view of tattoos. Some bring a more stereotypical view in that tattoos may pose a negative factor when trying to land that perfect job. Perhaps that it may symbolize that they are part of a gang, a “biker” if you will, maybe a criminal or part of a lower class in society? (Proehl 2004) Tattooing may also instill fear…

    The quiet hum of needles is a comforting sound to some people. They see it as a way to finally be able to show people who they are, and what they have been to, without having to tell them. The feeling of needles being stabbed into skin over and over and over again may hurt, but they see it as a small price to pay for a few hours or days in exchange for a beautiful piece of artwork that they can carry around with them for a lifetime. The view people have on tattoos today is divided, with some people who think they are pieces of art and forms of self expression that take a lot of time and money, or as markings that only criminals and ‘lower class citizens’ would get, something that lowers your self worth. Tattoos shouldn’t be seen as bad or gross,…

    It seems that no matter where one goes today, it is impossible to escape the reality that body art, in the form of tattooing, has become an integral part of our culture and society. Although tattoos once had a reputation as part of the “undesirable” class in American society, as they were typically associated with the biker and criminal milieu, tattoos have experienced a resurgence in popularity over the past decade. As numerous celebrities have begun to utilize tattoos as a means of expressing their personal style, so too have many Americans followed suit. The image of the young rebel male looking to rebuke society by having his flesh permanently adorned with art has faded and given way to a new culture of 20, 30 and 40 somethings, and beyond, of all walks of life choosing to express themselves through the art of tattoo.…
