Why is it that society always think badly of a person with tattoo? Why tattoos are always seen negatively? Aren't tattoos art too? It is just not fair when a person with tattoos be looked by society as a bad person. What do you guys/gals think? Do you have tattoos on your body and were people's first impression of you a bad one? If you don't have tattoos on your body, what do you think when you saw a person with tattoos?

I have1 tattoo on my upper left arm, one on my left forearm, 3 on my upper right arm and large angel wings on my back. none of them are obscene or offensive but i definitely get stereotyped a lot. I hate it!!!

cause we have a bunch of stuck up ppl in the world.. i have 2 tattys and sometimes ppl do look at me strangely... i always say if you dont like what i look like dont look at me at all... its simple as that.. we all have our preferences some like them some dont... but me personally i dont care what the person looks like its what is on the inside that counts...

exactly.. what's inside of you that's count. But with a bad first impression, normally people will not even take a step further to know you better.

Hi friend, It is preety common to have tatoos on the body.I think it is not wrong in the present world.i personally feel it is not wrong to have them unless u are in ur limits.Ofcourse some may feel it is wrong,i think they are not updating themselves with the world.If we change according to the world than we can live happily otherwise we have to suffer a lot.

People with tattoos are different by choice but good nor bad is not determined by any body markings, that comes from within.
