A pleasant day to all Fellow Mylotters, I do believed that putting a tattoo on our human body is somehow a work of art. Somehow it puts glamour if done properly. But what I observed is, there are some people who painted too much tattoo on their body. Most of the time, the body somehow becomes dirty as you look at it. I just remember, before when a human has some tattoo on the body, it means that he came out from a prison. Hence now, anyone can paint their body with tattoo. And even the young ones, they are not being prohibited to put some tattoo on their body. Is this really the effect of the modernization nowadays...

When I was younger, i wanted to have a butterfly tattoo on my ankle. But of course, I couldn't do that. My parents would kill me if i did! Then just years back, as I was watching WWE featuring the old wrestlers, some were even women, I saw them having tatoos on their arms. And with a wrinkly skin, it sure doesn't look good. And so I decided that I should stop dreaming of having one. It looks insanely dirty on an old woman's skin.

Some of tattoos are the work of art and great to look at. But in some cases when people go overboard with it, it made the body look dirty as you can be. Long ago it symbolized criminals but nowadays it’s just common. Well, but if the tattoos are well done and not overboard, it can look beautiful too.

i also agree that a small tattoo looks ok but as you say some people do go overboard and it just looks untidy. Look at David Beckham i think that all of his tattoo's looks terrible and he does look like a prisoner but because he is a role model people will copy him and get lots of tattoo's

Yes, I think it is the effect of modernization nowadays. I remember my boyfriend told me before that he wants to put a tattoo in his arms and he will put my name. I felt amused for the idea that the tattoo will be my name. It just signifies that he loves me that much but with the idea that he'll gonna destroy his skin with that tattoo then I refuse him to do it. I just explained it in nice way to him and so he understood it. I am against on tattoos .

Well, I understand, once those who wore tattoos were immediately branded as people who have spent time in prison. Nowadays, things are different. Many especially boys, become tattooed one or more parts of the body. However, my opinion on the subject, is against it. Yes, I am very opposed to tattoos. I'll never do! My body must be "white" as has been given to me. I can not even get into the mindset, and therefore can not understand how these people get to the indelible tattoos on their skin!

Hello Ai ! I have nothing to those who loved tattoo. It is one of way of expressing themselves but personally , i really don't like it because as if to me it just made our skin dirty . Imagine we clean with gel , moisturizer and soap our body and here comes an art , coloring and sketching in our skin. More so to the kids , having a soft shiny skin then it would just be turned into like a dirty wall lots of drawings and colors . Why not print in other areas or places ? Why in human body ? Can we not leave it clean and pure ? This just my opinion , i am respecting those who love tattoo..I know we differ in expressing ourselves.

In Japan only Yakuza have a tattoo and in there i think people afraid to make a tatoo because it is symbolic to yakuza. Only yakuza can make a tattoo. At here people make a tattoo because they want to show them gangster and the other people afraid with them. Some also make it for fashion. For me i will not make tattoo at my body. I dont want my body dirty with a tattoo. God give us beautiful skin why we want to dirty it with tattoo.
