why do people like getting tattoos?

Question

What compells anyone to get tattoos on their bodies

Answer 1

I get mine as a way of expressing who I am. Almost all of my work is original, done by Roman Starr Tattoos, so I will not likely run into my tattoos somewhere eles. Alot of people from alot of different walks of life have tattoos, it's just "art". But it's YOUR art. The only difference between a tattooed person and an untattooed person, is that the person with tats doesn't care if you have one or not. It's not polite to call people names because of something on their bodies....would you want to be called names because your ears are big??!!

Answer 2

It is similar to a piercing or branding; it is an opportunity to "own" your body and use it for your own personal expression (fickle individuals need not apply).

Selecting a tattoo should be an individual process, and the result should be unique. No more Japanese characters translating to "filthy sl*ut". No more college kids wanting something 'unique' out of the preexisting designs available at the parlour. This is you. This is art.

Back in the real world, the most common tattoo designs are the Nike and Adidas logos. I cannot speak for these individuals.

Answer 3

Because they found some design or saying that they want etched on their body permanently. I've seen some beautiful tattoos, and others that had many layers of meanings to their owners, but I've also seen people all inked-up without knowing/caring what the tattoos even mean. I would get one myself, but I haven't found an image that I want to be on my body forever...

Answer 4

Its picture on the body that represent the soul within.
for me that's what it is. 8+ more on the way. All with personal and in depth meanings.


Why people get stupid tattoos of cartoon characters or some tribal crap is beyond me, I guess some people want to look tough and cool, morons

Answer 5

There are a multitude of reasons. Some people believe that tatoos protect their soul; some people have tatoos to always remember a person or event; some people get tatoos as they feel it is a way to express their personality through body art. Some people just think they look "cool".

Answer 6

I don't get it myself...! I don't even want the same hair style more than 24 hours at a time.

Answer 7

well my sis as angel wings on her shoulder blades i think tatts. are what makes all, that as tattoos makes them feel happy

Answer 8

I don't know....what makes people color their hair? What makes people dress the way they do? What makes people wear make up? Why would anybody give a crap?

Answer 9

Because theyre retards and want to show it off

Answer 10

I have no idea honestly. I wouldn't ever do it. I think its their way of expressing their feelings and things they have been through.
