Top 3 arguments against getting tattoos

Despite the fact that the creators of the vse-o-tattoo.ru portal a priori cannot be against tattoos, and, of course, they themselves have several pieces, today they bring up a rather "fart" topic for discussion. Why shouldn't you get tattoos? Is not it there are sane arguments against?

In fact, we already did a small overview of this topic in the article. harm of tattoos... Basically, only the medical aspect was considered there, which consists in the hypothetical introduction of infection, allergies and other unpleasant things.

In fact, most people understand that today the tools and equipment of a tattoo artist can reduce all medical risks to almost zero. The ink used in the tattoo is hypoallergenic, the tools are sterile, the needles are disposable.

This time we want to offer you 3 reasons NOT to get a tattoo, which seem more or less objective to us.

Reason №1: youthful recklessness

Today, tattoos are extremely popular among teenagers. If 10 years ago young people expressed themselves through clothes, hairstyles, extravagant makeup and accessories, today it is difficult to stand out and surprise others with fashionable attributes. Wearable jewelry is replacing things.

And here lies the first drawback of tattoos - very often people recklessly approach the choice of an image, due to the lack of earnings, teenagers save a lot both on an individual sketch and on the work of a master, as a result of which the result does not live up to expectations.

Unfortunately, we do not have statistics on what% of people redo or overlap their first tattoo, but from experience creating individual sketches to order, we can say that there are a lot of such people.

Reason # 2: Meaning of tattoos

This reason partially stems from the first, and lies in the fact that young people often put a mysterious and mystical meaning in tattoos, which is lost over time. A change in worldview is almost inevitable for any thinking person who goes through different life experiences. Thus, what yesterday could mean one thing, tomorrow can be regarded as completely different.

So, for example, people who at an early age adorned their bodies with religious symbols and images, over time, change their attitude to religion, and, becoming atheists, are faced with the problem of what to do with tattoos.

Reason # 3: Expression

Blogger Dmitry Larin speaks about the third reason quite ironically and grotesquely. However, we consider this reason worthy of your attention and have included it in the list as well. And it consists in the following.

Answering the question why are you doing a tattoo, many answer: this my way of expressing myself... But is this really the best way to express yourself?

Larin is right, a tattoo is, in fact, just a pigment of paint, driven under the skin. That is, the person did not make much effort to express himself. Of course, he made money, formed an idea, endured a couple of days of burning and scabies. But if we compare such self-expression with creativity or professional self-realization in work, the difference becomes obvious.

Obviously, it is not the picture of a lion on the shoulder that makes a man a man. He is valued for his words and deeds. Do you agree? Write your opinion in the comments!
