Tattoo's!!

Tattoo's are very pretty, therefore I can understand why people want and get them. I actually want one myself. However, I know that I'll either back out, or I won't like it after I've had it done and then they'll be nothing that I can do. I reckon people should only have tattoo's if they are committed to what they are having, and therefore know they won't regret it.

Some people get drunk and get tattoo's done. This is a very stupid mistake, as you really don't know what you'll end up with. A guy could get a big love heart tattooed on his ass saying Bill or John! Just because they got drunk and done something stupid, they'll now have to live with it for the rest of their lives.

It's actually quite funny to see what some people end up with when they are drunk, cause it's funny for the people who don't have to see it everyday. Many people get tattoo's in very discreet places, and therefore they do not tell anyone they've got a tattoo. I know people with tattoo's and their parents don't know that they've got them. It's just as well, as their parents would KILL them.

Tattoo's can also become very addictive. I've been told by many people that once they've had their first tattoo they just keep going back for more because it looks nice and everyone has them. But if everyone has them then it's not very original is it? Some people just go into tattoo parlours and just choose what they want from the tattoo's that they have on the walls or in books. To me this is just UN-original. It doesn't mean anything specifically to you. It's just something that you've chosen off the wall. If you design your own tattoo, or get a date or someones name that is personal to you, then it's better as you'll keep that memory of that all of your life. If you just had a love heart just for the sake of having one, then it won't matter to you it's just something on your body.

Even though tattoo's are very pretty, and some people use them for sentimental values you have to look at the down sides to having a tattoo. First there's a safety issue. Some tattoo parlours aren't safe, and they won't clean or change the needles, and therefore there is a big risk of infection. Another thing is that the pain is horrible. If you don't like having injections, or your blood taken out then tattoo's are not for you! http://www.tattooingtips.com/health-risks-of-getting-tattoos.html this website is a very good website which tells you all the risks of getting a tattoo. Therefore, if you want a tattoo but are unsure of the risks then this website will be helpful in making your mind up.

Then there are those people who go to the extremes, and have tattoo's covering their body from head to toe that you can even make out what their face or body looks like. I think these people go over the top, and it just doesn't look nice. A couple of tattoo's are okay but all over your body, it's too much, they wont mean anything and therefore they'll just become boring to you as well. Thats one of the reasons why people have so many tattoo's because they get bored of the ones that they've got and then therefore keep on getting more and more.

I my self would cross the line at one or two. There is no point in having soo many tattoo's all over your body as when you get old they are only going to wrinkle, therefore you won't even be able to see what the tattoo used to be.
