Yes or no ?

A common question that people ask is, are tattoos appropriate, beautiful, cultural ... Although tattoos have become a normal occurrence today, it still happens that people have prejudices towards works of art on their skin. The decision to get a tattoo is important in your life, like the decision to have a child or get married. If you are thinking about getting a tattoo for the first time, think about it.
Tattoos are very popular, especially among the younger population and it is not surprising that they are slowly becoming a popular fashion style. There are more and more models who have tattoos in large numbers, and most importantly, they are not afraid to show them. Famous actors and actresses such as Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie and others proudly wear their tattoos.

Wolfgang Boimler, a professor in the Department of Dermatology at the University of Regensburg, points out that the colors used for long-lasting and colorful tattoos are, in fact, intended for printers and car painting! These dyes have not been tested for subcutaneous use at all, and are therefore believed to have a detrimental effect, especially because one part of the injected dye reaches the bloodstream into some part of the body. Color tattoos thus contain various metals and chemicals that cause allergies and must not be used for cosmetic purposes. Black color for tattoos is essentially - industrial soot! Since tattoos do not belong to cosmetics or medicines, it is easy to pour anything and it is necessary to make lists of banned substances, perform color testing as well as possible reactions to them. People voluntarily get tattoos and take risks.

The most common reasons are that, tattoos are not suitable for some situations, such as work and the like. Opinions differ on this issue. Some people think that it is not terrible if you come to work tattooed, while others still think that it is not stylistically and culturally appropriate. Large companies are constantly arguing whether their reputation based on the opinion of the environment is more important to them, or whether they will still decide to advance their business, ignoring the physical appearance of workers, and focusing on their performance. Although this topic has long been obsolete in America, our mentality has only recently looked a little more tolerantly at the idea of ​​tattoos and considers them less and less an expression of rebellion, and more and more a personal stamp or style. Some employers have a policy: "no visible tattoos", and we have those, such as Google, Target or UPS, who completely tolerate the styles of their employees. Given that we live in the Balkans, we must be aware that not all employers, especially in state-owned companies, will be open to our tattoos. Let's take into account that in our leading positions there are still mostly older, experienced people, who did not live in a time when tattooing was an everyday thing and it is very difficult for them to accept this kind of expression of creativity. So it may be wiser to choose a tattoo that you can cover with clothes in case it is necessary, instead of losing a business opportunity due to some big tattoo.
