INK TATTOO
A tattoo is a form of body modification made by inserting ink, dyes, and/or pigments, either indelible or temporary, into the dermis layer of the skin to form a design.

Ever since it didn't cross my mind to have a tattoo on my body, I just got 4 piercing on both my ears for me its an ordinary thing. Before I thought having a tattoo is dirt on the body, I could also think having tattoos are excon and bad person. Then later on I understand the true meaning of having a tattoo. Its not that you just want to have one but its the essence of having one. I got my first tattoo last year and before that I have lots of thoughts.
Is its necessary to have tattoo?
In my younger years I grow up seeing my father and his brothers have tattoos that's why I dont like it. Now that I'm older and I challenge myself to have one to know what it feels like and change my perception.
What would other say if I have a tattoo?
Some people still have a bad impression seeing someone having tattoos on their body, they say "its untidy to look at" "you will not be accepted if you apply for a job" "you look like a gangster or an addict" and so many words that can describe when you have tattoos. After I got one I'm glad that the negative thoughts I am expecting to hear change into good words, they like my tattoo and appreciate my courage.
What would be the effect in my whole human being?
My grandmother (father's side) she's a devoted Catholic she doesn't want her son's to have tattoos (but she couldn't control it) she just say "dinudumihan nyo lang ang katawan na pinahiram ng Diyos sa inyo." to her it is a taboo.
In my own understanding
Before, having a tattoo are just for marking to identify an individual, and in religious beliefs in ancient Egypt having a tattoo symbolize the dedication to their God and to convey devine protection. After so many years tattooing became popular especially in arts. Now in this generation there are lots of tattoo artist and many people change their outlook towards people having cover their body of tattoos, for them its a walking art. For most people the design of their tatoos is the expression of themselves, some they have tattoos to symbolize someone, as a remembrance of love, pain and strength.
My tattoo is just a simple rose, because a rose have thorns like my personality and my name. Hope you like my story and thank you for the time. Have a nice day and take care.π
