Question: What do you think of people who have tattoos?

yes, that is what the older people here think of tattoos But time changes, some are still skeptical about it because during those times, only people in prison had tattoos but not now. Nowadays, it is an art. An expression of yourself, and most tattoos have meaning for the person. I once liked to have one, but I tried henna first, which was the right move for me. When I got the henna tattoo, I realized I do not want to have a permanent one. But I respect those who have theirs.

I would say I’m pretty neutral about it. Personally, I have to agree with your mom in the sense that I prefer to keep my skin clear of such things, no matter how trendy they may be. For me, there’s something nice about having a clean canvas and not worrying about how it might look years from now. That said, I also understand that for others, it’s a form of expression or something they find meaningful and fancy. Everyone has their own reasons and their own sense of beauty, and I respect that. If it makes someone happy and gives them confidence, then it’s their choice. So while I wouldn’t go as far as your mom in being furious, I do see where she’s coming from out of concern and love. At the end of the day, it’s all about respecting each person’s decision about what they want to do with their own body.

I don't have any tattoos and don't want one on me but Pretty has a black lotus flower tattoo on her right foot she got her freshman year in college. I have piercings and so does she. Everybody is different and, other than some health concerns caused by ink under the skin, there's nothing wrong with having a tattoo.

I don't like them at all but more and more are having them. We just have to get used to it.

I'm going to give you my honest opinion: it's not just a fad, but it's not an act of crime either.Rather, identity is all relative because there are people who take their bodies to the extreme by putting on so many tattoos that not even they can identify themselves.However, a tattoo means something to me but it doesn't identify me, for example, I am a teacher and I have tattoos that mean something deep to me.My elementary school students should not see my tattoos because it is not a bad thing but I do not want to promote any influence at an early age.I tell my children that when they are old enough they can do whatever they want with their bodies responsibly.I am also a lawyer and a tattoo does not diminish my IQ or my professional aptitude.

I used to be opposed to them more than I am now, but they have become so commonplace, it's almost unusual to see someone without one. I think they are fine so long as they are not overdone, gaudy, or foul. Some look rather good on some people.

That's almost like saying what do you say about people who have long hair...Variety of tats variety of reasons, and some are just for fun. I don't judge.

I think its a big NO for every Filipino parents. hehehehe my dad don't like it either, I had my first hena tattoo when I graduated from college, and my dad is so furious, luckily my mom did not saw it, I had a nape tattoo and it was covered by my hair. Lol! I think it is cool, but too much is not cool for me.

I don't like tattoos at all.

It's up to each person.

I have nothing against them but I do not like it if they have too many tattoos,

My step son has his own tattoo parlour, he is very artistic and hugely successful….some of the tattoos he has done truly are works of art. He himself is widely covered in them too. I, however, do not like tattoos. Some people have so many you can not tell what they are and I always think ….it may look good now , but what about when you are old and wrinkly ! They won’t look good then ! At the end of the day it is personal choice. I just don’t like them.

I personally do not like tattoos on any human body, If a person chooses to have tattoos on their body, fine with me.

I have no fancy for it but it has become a trend now. However, I cannot understand what makes a few have them all over their bodies. It looks not kind on our skin.

In the past I would also have a prejudice to the people who had tattoos. Now I change my mind. I don't really care about it and that's a personal choice I won't consider to have tattoos on myself as it's painful. Besides, I don't want to feel regretful when I don't like the tattoos and it's too difficult to remove it. If it's just like a sticker and I can have it for a day or two for fun.

What are the benefits of having a tattoo? There are some people who even want to remove it from their body when they are old.

I PERSONALLY think they’re a waste of money and pain infliction. I don’t discriminate against anyone who has one, though, but they are definitely not for me.

I do not care for tattoos for me. It's none of my business if others want them. I do not judge a person differently because of tattoos. In extreme cases, I think it can be too much but it's their deal. A person with many or clearly visible tattoos must understand that it could limit some employment opportunities and that some people frown on tattoos, brands or piercings. To each his own. You do you, I'll do me.

I don't like tattoos. They don't affect what I think of the people.

Personally, I don't like tattoos and I'll never ever have them but tattoos on other people's skin is none of my business. To each his own.
