You will find that people are divided into two categories with regard
to their opinion about tattoos – those who love and those who abhor
them. The thing is even if you happen to adore getting tattooed there
may be people in your life who may not be crazy about the idea. While it
is okay to say that you really don’t care, it definitely gets to be a
thorn on your side to live with that kind of dislike and disdain.
This
article is not about putting you off tattoos or even discouraging you
to get a tattoo. It is actually about what are the points you should
think about while opting to get inked. One of the things you need to do
when you decide to go and get inked majorly at a very young age is to
wait till you have reached an age where making this decision is more of
an adult consideration rather than an impulse you will regret.
These are some points that should be considered:
Employment:
Your elders would have told you about this but we are repeating this;
it is just that when you get a tattoo done in a place where it can be
seen (which is the point of a tattoo) then people will make assumptions
about you that may not be flattering. This may not always affect you but
when it comes to the job scenario it is likely that a bad first opinion
will hurt your chance of landing that job. You really need to consider
this point before getting it done rather than regretting it afterward.
Where the tattoo is placed:
You may only look at the color of your skin while going in for a tattoo
but there is more to that than just the color. You may not realize this
but the texture and the nature of your skin will vary from one place to
another. This will have an effect on the way the tattoo looks and also
the amount of care you have to take. Plus some areas of the body tend to
age faster and this will affect the way the tattoo looks.
Getting a name tattooed:
When you are in a relationship your partner’s name seems like an
obvious choice for your tattoo, but I hate to say this – what happens
when you are no longer together? You will have to live with the name of
the person who is no longer in your life on emblazoned on your body for
all eternity and so will your future partners. How would you feel if you
had to look at an ex’s name on your lover’s body all the time?
Think, think and think again:
When you get your first tattoo you will find that that first tattoo can
define you. If you are unfortunate enough to be foolhardy in your
choice of a tattoo design then the name or description will stick with
you for the rest of your life. It does not matter what you grow up to
become or how much you change the first impression drawn from your
tattoo may stick. And if it is not something flattering, then you may
really hate it.
Remember the options are limited:
When you get a tattoo that does not work out later on you or
circumstances have changed then you have very few options. You can
either convert or cover it up to look like something else entirely. We
all know how that turns out. Or if you can afford the time and the money
then you can go through the painful process of getting it removed. It
can be a long drawn process which is not pleasant. The last option is to
learn to live with it. This may mean braving it out when people comment
on it or work at covering it up.
