Ancient Egyptians used tattoos to show their roles in society and how important they were. They often tattooed the criminals in their society so others will know that they are dangerous. When they moved along so did the tattooing. Tattooing has not stopped and is getting much more advanced. Tattooing has now changed a lot. We often tattoo ourselves to just for the artwork not for symbols as often anymore. A lot of people also keep it traditional and get something special to them done for themselves. For example I recently got tattoo done for my baby niece and my sister also got one done for her baby, I also know a few people that have gotten the breast cancer ribbons for their mother or Aunts. There are also people who love having the art imprinted on themselves because it is beautiful and a good way to express yourself.
I wrote this post because I myself have a tattoo and I was told by multiple people that I don't look like the type to have a tattoo which slightly bothered me because it's a way to express yourself more than anyting. The only thing that I slightly had trouble with was trying to find pictures the internet because it kept giving me pictures of inappropriate tattoos in inappropriate places. I wanted to show everyone that tattoos shouldn't give you a bad vibe to others and that you shouldn't be judged for them.
