Guys, I have something to confess. I’ve been hiding it for weeks. I know I have to reveal it already. Ready? I recently got a tattoo!!! Yeah, big deal. Here it is. But wait, I know it’s just a fake one. It the one you could get free when buying junk foods. Actually, my brother gave it me. But the question here is why didn’t I get myself a real one? Well, it is simply because I’m firmly against having permanent tattoos. Personally, I find unclean. It’s not neat and I believe that it’s a cheap way of expressing one self and creativity. So first, what are tattoos? Tattoos are designs made on the body by cutting or pricking the skin and inserting pigment, or coloring, into the scratch. Tattooing had been in practice for more 6,000 years and has been traced back to the pharaohs of Egypt. Our ancestors put tattoos as a symbol of status. Likewise, male warriors put tattoos to show how mighty they while the female did it to adorn their bodies and attract male counterpart. Body Tattooing just became popular among the biker gangs in the 1950s and 1960s, bearing markings of skull and crossbones skeletons. And now, the art of tattooing is making its huge comeback especially within the youth.
