I grew up in a Strict enviroment , My mother was completly conservative. Partying , Late curfew and Back talk was lookup down upon. But the one thing that rubbed my mother the wrong way and still to this day was tattoos . If there was a person walking down the road inked up and looking a little bit rough around the edges she would point him out to me . " Janey , You stay away from people like that . You see how unprofessional they look ? They will never beable to get a good paying job" Well thats all it took , Ever since that day In spite of my mother I have respeted the art of tattooing . and in my opinon , it is one of the best art forms ever. No not in spite , I enjoy the history of Tattooing, the artists and even the feeling of the needle.
Societies views are changing dramatically. expecially since the day my mother pointed out that person. It use to be that if you had ink you were known as a crazy or a trouble maker. Now all different types of people are stepping up to feel the needle. Young , old , mothers and professional people. So why are people still turning the heads to the idea.
On facebook the other day there was an argument between some of my friends. It all started when someone mentioned that tattoos are unprofessional and they should not be over done on an individuals body. And before getting a tattoo think about because it is perminent. It pushed me back a few feet. why do this person have such a strong opinon on something that has nothing to do with them or their own body for that matter. Trying to influence someone on there beliefs that tatttoos are something not to get excited about. Well I couldnt hold it in anymore , i expressed that tattoos on the human body are the least perminant form of art work, A painting last longer then a human life... As soon as i commented the conversation was done. even tho the person maybe didnt change their views, im glad still other people were able to see it . and its not even the fact that tattoos are unproffesional today. Now yes if you are in medical school and planning to be a doctor the patients might not feel comfortable if you walk in the room and have ink from head to toe.. but then again who knows. because it depends on the person and their views. Ciggarettes are more welcome then tattoos. and to me thats ridiculous ...but thats only my opinon.
