I wanna change how People see others with tattoos

Fri May 29, 2009, 6:38 PM
and (or) piercings. i hate how if someone is tattooed ppl think they're a druggy or just a bad influence. or someone with piercings must be super unfreindly or starts fights.

I realize that its not true in all cases, but i find that those kinds of ppl are the nicest i've ever met. i think it has to do with the fact that since they are able to have peace with they're bodies they can be open and friendly with everyone. because they know what kind of person they are.

i personally want a tattoo or 2 and a piercing. does that really make me a bad influence ? so if i had that you'd cover your childs eyes and say"don't grow up to be like her". ? i try and and send messages in my art saying that those things are ok, and you should be able to be tattooed and pierced, whatever, and not seen as a bad biker jail person.

im one person, but im doing my share of trying to make it better because it is so annoying. what do you think ?

its interesting that you bring this up :) - I recently (about 4 months ago) got a half sleeve tattooed on me and the attention I get from it is not at all what i expected! ..I had other small tattoos but none this noticeable or big [link] [link] [link] [link]

I'm shy, quiet, i was always extremely self-conscious and nervous/awkward ..you name it. ever since i got this tattoo done my confidence has increased 100%, it was one of the best decisions of my life and it has changed me for the better, permanently. I feel so much better about myself it's unbelievable.. Even though people stare much more, because I think it's because of my tattoo, it somehow makes it okay in my head for people to look at me - something that used to make me so uncomfortable. Now I want people to look at me, i want people to see my arm and the awesome artwork that's been put on it :D

and, not to brag or anything haha, but I have always been a very friendly, very nice person and having a tattoo does not change any of that :) People who think so are just silly and need to focus on more important things, I don't let them bother me, if anything those people make me want to be even more caring so i can burst their bubble about people with lots of tattoos.

probably the most interesting thing I've noticed since getting the tatoo done it is that most of the compliments i get are from older people, people aged 40-60 years old and I thought it was so bizarre (I'm 20) but I think it makes sense, I think it has to do with maturity and realizing certain things as you enter adulthood, finding yourself ..etc ..sounds cheesy I know ..

hah! this got long fast. I'll stop my rant now, lol
