As a guy or rather a girl walks by with tattoes on his or her body, people will turn their head and their eyes follow him or her to wherever they go to. People’s perception on those who have tattoes were bad, that they aren’t good people, there must be something bad within them, that they aren’t as simple as people think they are and bottom line, it’s everything very negative. People started become judgemental towards them. These days it’s considered a fashion item, or to some, it’s art or rather related to religious issues. However, the older generation still has the conservative mentality though.

I have thought about having a tattoo ages ago, somewhat like 8 freaking years ago. Yes no joke 8 freaking years! How people decide to have a tattoo? Well, as for me, I got inspired by my dance instructor then who really has tattoos all over his body and it was just darn cool on him. Ever since then, I dreamt of having one and I never did until this year.

Once I told people my dream of having a tattoo, majority says NO and that I will definitely regret during my old age. I say .. let’s think about now rather than later. If it turns ugly later in life, so be it. The pain was bearable, and it wasn’t pain throughout the whole process. It was cool all the way.

If people … decide to have a tattoo, make sure you don’t ink your partner’s name, or something to do with your partner and *touchwood* something happens between the both of you, the name stays on forever though the person don’t. Also a piece of advise, don’t ink something to do with fashion today. Tribal used to be an “in” thing but right now it’s fading away. SUggestions … please if you wanna do a tattoo, do something you really like and love and it’s best if it brings meaning to it and not just for the sake of tattoo-ing. There must be a certain level of trust between you and your tattoo-ist or else the end result won’t be good. You just have to trust your tattoo-ist. Ask around, survey around only decide because this will last a lifetime and one last word, do not regret.
