What is the obsession with being inked? I personally just do not understand the thrill of a little needle repeatedly stabbing you over and over again. Not to mention the fact that tattoos are permanent! I change my mind too often to even consider the idea of something permanent being place on my body. I joke around and say that if I were ever to get a tattoo it would be on the inside of my lip (never gonna happen!) If you think about it getting a tattoo on your inner lip would be the absolute ideal spot for one. You could say that you went through with getting a tattoo and it would not be visible unless you felt the need to show it to others or just show it off in general. Plus it wouldn’t prevent you from receiving any future jobs, although neither would a black light tattoo. A friend of mine has a total of six tattoos. She claims that they are addicting, I guess I just do not understand.
I worked at a tattoo parlor for almost a year and there have been people that come in with your out look on tattoos. I do not judge or blame anyone for not getting or getting tattoos. I have a plan of getting three but they are memorial ones that I am dedicating to my family. I think if they have a point to them then a tattoo is not so bad and the pain only last while you are getting the tattoo the pain you feel after is just the aftershock and your body realising that there is something sinking into it. Some pain afterwards is worse for other people depending on how sensitive their skin is. Those with tougher skin are most likely to get addicted to tattoos because it is the closest thing they get to feeling a pain they enjoy but also a pain they do not. I know it does not make any sense but that is what I have learned and picked up. I have asked people when they are crying on the ink table why they even wanted a tattoo in the first place when they knew it would hurt and they would always say it was pleasurable to have the pain of a tattoo that ment something to them. My look on it is if you want to fine if you don't then thats okay but if the tattoo really has meaning to you no amount of pain should ever keep you from it.
