People want tattoos for a lot of reasons – they are body art, a way to flaunt one’s personality, they are beautiful and thought provoking and they announce the nonconformist in you. So clearly there are a lot of reasons to get tattoos. But there is also the fact that tattoos, like diamonds are forever! So should you or shouldn’t you get a tattoo? Or two? Or Twenty? Because as David Beckham seems to indicate; one is never enough!
Tattoos can be eye catching, beautiful, stunning… they can be a work of art that the tattoo artist can justifiably be proud of and which you as their canvas can enjoy flaunting as well!
You can declare your faith, your personal convictions and even inspire others and yourself daily with the help of the message you get inked with.
Tattoos can be funny and irreverent, and can be real conversation starters… you can get to know a whole lot of really interesting people who also have tattoos!
So Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor were at item at some point in their dim and distant past. At the time, that RK tattoo was simply precious! And now? Awkward much?
You may be a Justin Beiber fan now and the extra pair of eyes seem like an absolutely awesome, terrific idea right now. But what if you found out the guy lip synchs at his concerts and fell out of love! What if that extra pair of eyes start to give you nightmares? What then!!!
For many, no amount of tattoos is enough! It is easy to see that some people take this whole my-body-is-a-canvas thing all too seriously!
Some organisations have hiring policies that prohibit employees from sporting tattoos or at least visible tattoos. What then? Will you have lost the opportunity of a lifetime because of a youthful folly?
They can fade with time, lose color and definition. Tattoos could end up saying something really clever and then end up saying nothing at all!
Many people will tell you that tattoos can be removed. In fact they can be. But the removal is time consuming, laborious and could be ineffective, leaving traces and blotches.
Should you or shouldn’t you get inked? Remember, tattoos can go very wrong…and we're not even speaking about the possible dangers of tattoo artists using unsanitary practices and the chance of some awful infection!
