Tattoos O:

Today I’m going to talk about tattoos and I have to say that this topic seems very interesting because I’m not very into that, so it is a way to know more.

When I think in tattoos, the first word that comes to my mind is “art” or “body-art” and sometimes it is really beautiful, but if I start to think more about it, I consider it is a way to show to everybody something that you think o believe, so everybody can notice that. But, it is that a good way? Well, at least not for me. I think if you believe in something, you don’t have to put it on your skin to prove it. To me, the tattoo should be “inside”, but maybe some motivations to do it are: represent a belief, remind someone you love, show something you like, etc. But this doesn’t mean I don’t like people that have tattoos, some of them are beautiful or a really piece of art and that’s why I think tattoos have an ornamental function.

The true is that I don’t know about the history of tattoos, I can imagine it’s very old, it might be from some indigenous cultures and that was repeated in future generations. 

In my case, I don’t want to have a tattoo, because it can be painful and I don’t want that! I’m scared of needles. Also, I’m not sure if I would like to have some image in my skin FOREVER. And the most important thing is that, as I said before, I have my tattoos “inside”.
