Additionally tattoos are also used to tell a story or create a permanent memorial for an individual. One of my tattoos represent my birth year and month and the other shows my Leo side. I have no regrets of these tattoos because they have meaning that is very personal. My lion tattoo is an original piece of work that will never be replicated. I believe it represents who I am. My tattoos provide me with a sense of pride. Tattoos have also become popular because a tattoo can be any color, design, or size. Tattoos can also be placed anywhere on the body. Tattoos give the individual the opportunity to be as creative as he, or she can.
Finally people may consider tattoos in today’s society to be a negative epidemic. Tattoos do not always have to be detrimental to the individual who chose to get one. Next time, when in contact with someone who has numerous tattoos stop and think of what the tattoos may be representing? Even though tattoos implement a negative image and can be harmful and/or dangerous, the popularity of tattoos in today’s society has increased throughout the years because tattoos can also have many positive outcomes.
