Tattoo changes a persons image:True or False?

Well tattoos are okay for me..I have accepted it that for some having tattoos on their body is one way to show their artistic side..I'm not against people who have tattoos..I just can't imagine how painful it is when you're still undergoing the the tattoo process..

I think everyone do have different perceptions about tattoos or arts.We just have to deal with the truth that most of the people are so judge mental and can't live without being curious about stuff..

Tattoos don't affect the mind. That would be something psychological your sister-in-law was dealing with, and obviously she got a tattoo for all the wrong reasons. Trust me, once you get to the point where you have 5 or so, or so many that they can't be counted individually, or really big pieces, you're not doing it for something as childish as attention, you do it out of love for the art, and the ink. I literally find the buzz of the gun to be soothing. I've fallen asleep getting a tattoo before. But that is fine if you choose not to get tattoos, I'd prefer it. I like being unique, but it is hard to be so different when all thesekids are getting tattoos of something just so they can have a tattoo. Your body is a temple, you choose to keep yours pristine, and I choose to decorate!

Hello there too cream97..

Well first of all,I agree with him that the tattoo doesn't have any effect at all on the way a person acts or thinks..maybe your sis-in-law is just like that and she loves attention,that's why when she got a tattoo she's trying to get everyones attention by acting or doing stuff or showing everybody her new tattoo..

About that effects that you are saying,yes I agree that sometimes you can catch some illness because of having too many tattoos in your body..but sometimes this illness are because of the unsterile materials that are being used in the tattoo process itself..

Well,I guess for you,you wanted to keep your skin clean..and I'd say for this you also respect your body in your own way..

Thanks for responding..:)

Hello there bamboo..

I agree with you that the mentioned sister-in-law might be having some kind of a psychological problems..or maybe she's the type of person who wants to be the center of attraction all the time..

Oh boy!!you fell asleep while getting tattoos??you are one brave man..hehe..I can't imagine how you fell asleep with all that pain..

I can see that you're an artistic person and that you have chosen to express your artistic side by means of tattoos..and I think you really are brave..

Thanks for responding..:)

If a person chooses to get a tatto then that is their choice. But as for me, I prefer to not have one at all. I don't condone anyone that gets one. I feel that my sister-in-law was trying to be more than what she was, that is why I said that... I was only talking about her not anyone else. As for others, it may or may not change a persons image. It just all depends on the person. I was not talking about you, only about one person, which is my sil. Please don't get offended. My statement was not meant for you or anyone else that has a tatto. Just only about my sister-in-law... So relax..

This message is for bamboo, whom seemingly got my response all off balanced. I hoped that I EXPLAINED it better to you this time. Hopefully I won't have to do it again... God Bless!

I'm proud of my tattoos, and when they're wrinkled pictures, my grandkids can have fun stretching my skin out to see them lol. I have tattoos on my arms, forearms, back of my arm, wrist, back, and chest. I don't try to hide them. I think you should get to know someone before you close your mind to them just because they have tattoos. That is being predjudiced and judgemental. But hey, I guess what you think, is what you think.

No believe it or not,I have found that many men with lots of tats. are the gentlest creatures you would ever meet.I have no prejudice against personal choices.I just don't care for them,This is my lot is for opinions not prejudices.Maybe I should have said,I would never do it.To make you feel better.But please refrain from judging me in the future, till you see more of my responses.

Capsicum,I agree that most men with tattoos are those who are gentle inside..I've known few men likw these you've mentioned..I guess people just easily judge peole by their appearance..

Bamboo..nice one with the grandchildren wrinkled thing..LOL:)..now I'm thinkignof getting a tattoo too..haha

YOu really do love tatts huh??well I guess you have to get more tatts then for you to not get jealous whenever you people who have more tatts than you do..hehe..I also admire people with tatts..I find them very brave and artistic..as I've mentioned with my other responds..I can't imagine howmuch pain you canundure during the process of getting the tattoos..I have my artistic side too..but I don't have tatts though I have body piercing..I have three on my left ear,one on my right and one on my navel..my girlfriend have navel ring too..we find it very cool and nice way to express ourselves..although I'm beginning to think if I'm going to have tatts too..like what you've said it might be something fun for my grandkids in the future..hehe

I guess that's the only problem with tattoos..it's hard to be removed when the time comes that you don't wnt it there anymore..it's pretty expensive too..and it will take a person several sessions of laser for the tattoos tobe removed and I think it won't even be removed totally,it will leave a deep scar in you skin and scars aren't that nice view a persons skin..like what you said "untidy"..

Yes,here in our country,Philippines,most of the people comes up with the conclusion that people with tatts are associated with prisoners or gangs or drug addicts.

Like what you said I think people here in our country isn't that open when it comes with tattoos and body piercing.Maybe in other foreign countries tatts are normal assets to their bodies but in here,it's just not.

Some people have very meaningful thoughts with their tattoos.Some of them have a tattoo of their loved one or their relative.It's really nice to know some people are so devoted to their loved ones that they even have them tattoed on their body.This only means people are so artistic too with their emotions in many different ways.

I'd say don't mind those people who judge you because you have tatts on your body.What's important is that you are happy with how you are and happy with your artistic side.Expressing yourself through tattoo arts is one thing you should be proud of.

Tattoo isn't totally ugly,it all depends on the person who has it.That's the problem sometimes,people misjudge others by the way they express themselves.
