Tattoos are expensive, they are painful and they are permanent. Many people find them unattractive, or even repulsive, others see the beauty in them. People think that tattoos are just a cry for attention, a rebellion against society, or a way to hide who we truly are. Some will say you get tattoos in order to be different, yet others will claim you are just trying to fit in with all of the other tattooed people. Tattoos are seen as a form of self-expression, a way to show our individuality and the unique aspects of ourselves. I’ve seen so many of my friends spend months, even years, thinking and planning for their tattoos. Some people I think have deeper reasons for getting a tattoo. It is a way of expressing themselves to the world.
