Everyone goes through a period in their lifetime when they realize that they have made a mistake and regret the decision that they made either at a party or with a purchase they have made. More than likely, of the estimated 10 million people with a tattoo in the United States, more than half of that number wants to have a tattoo removed that they mistakenly agreed to getting earlier in their life.
Okay, I will admit I’m a little perturbed this morning. I read an article this morning stating that a school is having a board meeting sometime this week regarding making a policy about their students HAVING to cover up their tattoos.
Chris says that the buzz he gets from getting tattoos is like drugs to him. Chris also admitted that he turned to tattoos because he was afraid of getting caught doing drugs by the tabloids. Here’s what Chris had to say,
I personally did not have this problem with my tattoos but a lot of people do have this problem. Not being able to find the exact design they want to get tattooed on them.
I will admit that I have wanted to get some sort of Asian type tattoo because I think the Asian symbols are really cool. Plus it is a great conversation piece because people will also want to know your tattoo says/means.
I picked Drew Barrymore because she has a collection of 6 tattoos at the moment. But Drew has admitted that if the mood strikes her she hasn’t ruled out the possibility of getting another one.
I’ve been thinking about this for a little bit, wondering if people think there is something wrong with copying someone’s tattoo design. The reason I bring this up is because there are a lot of people out there that will see a tattoo that a celebrity or other famous person has and will go out and get the very same one. I personally don’t think it is such a good idea.
I will admit I was scratching my head at this one and I still don’t quit get it. But apparently there is a new tattoo fad among us that I didn’t know about. It seems that white ink tattoos have become some sort overnight success and most have.
I thought it would be kind of neat to find out some statistics on tattoos. For instance, how many people have them, when people think it’s the right time to get one, if race and or region have anything to do with getting more or less tattoos and how tattoos have evolved from way back in the day.
The beautiful Transformers star is a avid tattoo lover and has several of her own. A lot of people may not understand her tattoos and I’ve read a lot of people think they are tacky.
So when people learn that I have tattoos they always ask me questions. Well one that I get a lot besides the ole “Did it hurt” question is, “Is it true that getting tattoos is addictive?” And my answer is always “Yes, they are additive”.
When you think of charities you probably don’t even think about tattoos in the same sentence. Well I was pleasantly surprised yesterday to find out that this one tattoo parlor in Phoenix was holding a A 15-hour long fundraiser for Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
One of the first things that I made sure of when I got my first tattoo is that I would be able to cover it up if it needed to be covered up. Of course whenever I wear a tank top and or low cut dress you can see my tattoo on my shoulder.
So you have made the decision to get a tattoo, that is great, but there are a couple things you need to think about before you set off and get inked. The biggest decision you need to make is what kind of tattoo you are going to get.
You may not have even given this one a thought, should I have my tattoo done in black ink or color ink? Well of course that decision is up to you and what you want. But there are a few little things you should know before you make that decisions.
It is safe to say that nearly 50% of people from the age of 18 to 35 have at least one tattoo. So one might think were did tattoos come from and how long have they been around.
I thought I would go in a different direction today, with my post. I think it is pretty safe to say that we all remember the instant that we decided we wanted to get a tattoo, of course some are a lot sooner than others. I for one had my mind made up when I was 8 years old, that when I turned 18, I was going to a tattoo no matter what.
One of my favorite things to do is to talk to people who already have tattoos and learn about their experience. I also like to hear any funny stories they might have to share as well as some piece of information that I may not have known. Just yesterday I was talking to one of my sister’s friends that has a tattoo on her toe and I actually learned something.
In today’s tattoo news I heard that a tattoo parlor is getting sued for the second time for misspelling someone’s tattoo. This leads me to the utmost important thing you need to do before your tattoo artist’s even starts that tattoo gun.
I think it is pretty safe to say that the hardest decision that needs to made when one decides to get a tattoo is what to actually get a tattoo of. There is literally an endless amount of designs that you could choose from.
I have mentioned this a few times before in my posting that you need to be 120% sure you want your tattoo and that you have given it a lot of consideration. To be frank you need to think before you ink.
You might be scratching your head at this point because you are not sure what tattoo’s and the Olympics have in common. Well the truth be told that a lot of Olympians actually have their tattoo location planned out a head of time, to ensure that their tattoo will be shown off to the world.
I’m going to start doing a post or two a week about celebrity tattoos. For some unknown reason the world seems to be overly obsessed with celebrities and people want to know everything about them and their tattoos are no different. Many people are curious to know what some of their favorite celebrities have tattoos of and what some of them might mean.
You more than likely remember me mentioning something about your tattoo itching like crazy when it starts to heal. I actually don’t know why it itches so blasted much but it does and it is something you will have to deal with.
I’m not one that necessarily encourages people to get tattoos of lover’s names or get the same tattoo as a lover. The reason behind this is you honestly do not know if you will be with that person forever.
You may think that is kind of odd that the Marine Corps would be making a change in a tattoo policy. Mainly because way back in the day men who were in the service were one of the only people besides criminals and dirt bags that had tattoos.ta
I have just realized that there are a lot more things I could inform all you tattoo-less people on, who are out there wondering what all is involved with getting a tattoo. To recap, yes it hurts to get one and yes you will experience some pain afterwards. But there is a lot more to it.
We all know when it comes to getting a tattoo you don’t really have to have a reason to get one, you get one because you want one. Well it seems that a lot of people get tattoos to mark chapters in their life.
I have written some about tattoos and sun and how they really don’t mix well. But today I wanted to add a little something that I have not touched on about tattoos and sun.
Are you looking for a tattoo design? If you don’t want to go to a parlor and sift through their books for hours or stare at the walls trying to find a design, then there is another, and much better option: Tattoo Galleries on the internet.
