Why do People get Tattoo even though our skin is not a painting?

And you may not like it when you get older and I do not understand this...|||well just like the cave mans time is, it is a way to express yourself and to let people know who you are, what you stand for. I call it being a public canvas. and 26 is just a number, your as old as you feel and look, if you have tattoos then when you get older it will look as old as you are.stay beautiful and clean. Pure to the body, you will go more places that way.|||Everyone has different ways of expressing themselves. Even though getting a tattoo might not be right for you, and even though you may not understand other people%26#039;s reasons for getting them, tattoos are valid forms of expression. It%26#039;s true that some people regret getting the tattoo(s) as they get older, but that%26#039;s a risk a lot of people are willing to take when they get a tattoo. A lot of people get tattoos in discrete places so they can choose to hide them easily if they want.|||What I don%26#039;t understand is why people like yourself still think of tattoos as %26#039;alternative%26#039; and why in the hell would you be too old for tattoos at 26?





I get it that you don%26#039;t think that tattoos would be right for you personally, and that%26#039;s a respectable choice. But deciding that 2 full sleeves and a back piece are right for you is equally respectable, and you should open your mind a little and realize that.





Besides, tattooing has been around since cavemen, literally. It%26#039;s not exactly a new trend.|||Speaking as someone who is very,very old (positively ancient my dear) I can understand it perfectly well.


If you ask nicely I%26#039;ll post up some pictures of my own tattoos.








PS. I%26#039;m 94 next birthday and I don%26#039;t care. At my age a girl can do what she likes.|||Some people want a living testimony on their bodies.
