Tattoos Becoming Less Taboo
For decades tattoos have been a big no no and a very taboo subject. However, tattoos are starting to go more mainstream now and with more celebrities and tattoo reality shows hitting the TV, tattoos are starting to be seen in a different way. Tattoos are still looked upon as a negative thing and some still associate them with rough and tumble bikers dudes, criminals and up to no good people. These stereotype unfortunately will more than likely always be there, but with more and more people speaking out about tattoos and with more people getting them things are slowly starting to change.
It is estimated that 45 million people have at least one tattoo. In the latest poll that was taken it revealed that 40% of people who are from the ages of 18-40 have at least one tattoo. With these numbers so high it makes one wonder why there is still so much negativity towards tattoos. However, times are a changing and tattoos are starting to be a little bit more acceptable. More and more companies are starting to admit that if their employee have a tattoo or a visible tattoo that it's no big deal. After all just because some has a tattoo doesn't mean they can't perform well at a job. Also with more celebrities and other role models out there having tattoos it has also helped with the way some people perceive tattoos. Hopefully, in a another 10 years or so tattoos won't be such a controversial subject with some people.

Be Careful What You Ask For
When it comes to getting a tattoo you have got to put a lot of thought and consideration into the process. Tattoos are forever and whatever decision you make about what tattoo design you get and where you get it tattooed on your body, you are stuck with it the rest of your life. This is why it is so important to be 200% certain about your design and location. There is also another great tip that everyone should know. You should be careful what you ask for because you just might get it. Most tattoo artist will try to persuade you from a crazy tattoo and a crazy location of a tattoo like the face. Not too many well respected tattoo artists will tattoo someones face because they know society will not perceive it well and don't want to be part of a mistake.
Let's face it there are plenty of not so bright people out there that have gone out on a whim and gotten a very crazy tattoo. Take that Kimberly woman, who got 56 stars tattooed on her face. She indeed asked for the 56 stars but once her father saw them and flipped out she blamed the tattoo artist saying she asked for 3. This is a great example that people should learn from. Think through your tattoo design and the location. What you may think looks cool today you may not think is cool tomorrow or 10 years down the road. Just be certain about the design you want and try not to go overboard.

When Will Thieves Learn
It is pretty safe to say that there are a lot of thieves out there that are not really that smart. For one they are not smart for robbing and stealing in the first place but a large group of thieves here recently just have not been thinking clearly, which is great for the police. There have been numerous robberies, house invasions and even assaults in the news lately and there is one very important thing these thieves are leaving behind to make catching them a heck of a lot easier. The thieves have some sort of very noticeable tattoo somewhere on their body that they completely forgot to cover up before they committed their crime. If you think about it this is a very stupid move. There really isn't much someone can do to get rid of their tattoo quickly. Laser tattoo removal lasts for months before the tattoo is faintly seen.
Believe it or not but it is rather easy to find someone with a certain tattoo. Police can canvas the area that the crime took place not only that they can visit local tattoo parlors and talk to several people in a certain neighborhood. Having a noticeable distinctive tattoo is noticed a lot more than one may think. A lot of people pay attention to those sorts of things because they more than likely have some sort of negative comment to make about it so it stays in their head longer.
Chances are this kind of thing will continue to happen as long as their are tattoos because certain people just do not think!

When Will People Learn
When will people learn that getting a tattoo of a lover's name is the worst possible idea in the world. Numerous of celebrities have gone down this road and one would think that people would take notice and not follow in their foot steps. I mean people are constantly watching celebrities every move so why not learn a lesson from their mistakes. Simply put if you are even thinking about getting a tattoo of your boyfriend's name or heck even of your husband's name just don't do it. It is pretty much guaranteed once your do this that you have put a curse on your relationship and you will break up or get a divorce. And you will be left with the reminder of that awful relationship for the rest of your life. It is best to just not be romantic when it comes to getting a tattoo. If you just have to get something to represent your lover or spouse think about getting a zodiac sign or something to that effect. Yes you will still have the reminder of them but it's doesn't make as strong of a statement of a person name. Plus people won't constantly be asking you, who is so and so.
It looks like Miley Cyrus' ex-boyfriend Justin Gaston has become the latest victim to this. Justin had a rather interesting tattoo of a very girly tattoo on the back of his arm and in the middle of that flower were the initials of MC. Well since the two have just recently broken up Justin wasted no time in going to the tattoo parlor and getting that girly flower tattoo covered up with some other design.

Megan Fox's Mom Hates Her Tattoos
If you have been living under a rock for the past couple of years you probably have no idea that they mega hot Transformer star, Megan Fox has nine tattoos on her very sexy body. She has been criticized ever since she became popular and people still talk about her tattoo collection today. Most have bad things to say regarding her tattoo designs, the quality of them, why someone so pretty would ruin their body etc. Well it seems that Megan's mother is one of those many people that don't care for her tattoos. She constantly asks her daughter why she must ruin her perfect body with tattoos. It has been reported that Megan's mother pleads with her daughter every time she gets a new tattoo not to get another one and of course in true Megan fashion she does not listen.
Megan's mother, Darlene's main concern is when Megan is older in her mid 30's to 40's and wants to play more mature roles in movies that directors will not hire her daughter because of her tattoos. Of course Megan has a great comeback for that. Angelina Jolie. She has had no problem finding roles in Hollywood, but then again she IS Angelina Jolie so that might have something else to do with it. Megan isn't exactly up to Angelina's stature but she does have time to improve on her acting skills.
So these leads us to the age old question do tattoos make someone less attractive and desirable?

Different Reason's To Get Tattoos
One of the great things about getting tattoos is that almost everyone who has them gets them for a different reason. Most people who have tattoos just love the art of the tattoo and simply think they are cool. Some get them to remember a loved one, and others get them to mark a special occasion in their life. Another reason people get tattoos is to help mark a huge accomplishment in their life or to celebrate the birth of a child. Some people get tattoos to chronicle a long journey in their life, while others get them to chronicle a new clean journey in their life like Jackass star Steve-O. It is no secret that Steve-O has battled drug and alcohol addiction for a while now. Now that Steve-O is clean he has decided to mark his new sober life with tattoos. Steve-O's new ink will mark the milestones on his journey to get clean and to stay clean.
Simply put there is no right or wrong answer to the reason for you getting a tattoo. Getting a tattoo is a personal decision and you should never let someone pressure you into getting a tattoo or trying to discourage your from getting one. If your heart is set on getting a tattoo than you should by all means get one. Just make sure you have put some thought into your tattoo design and the location of your tattoo. Tattoos are a great, and more people need to realize this. Just like your mother and teacher's always taught you...never judge a book by its cover. This saying couldn't fit the tattoo community any better.

Tattoo Studios Trying To Be More Upscale

However, there is a tattoo parlor or tattoo studio as they liked to be called in Las Vegas that is trying to get people to see that tattoo studios are not a bad thing and that they can be upscale. Club Tattoo is nestled in between an art gallery and an upscale cookware store. One of the owner's had this comment to make about them trying so hard to remove the negative stigma from tattoo parlors or studios if you will.
Our goal has been, from the very beginning, to remove the stigma of what people had thought of tattoos and tattoo artists, that they're kind of dirty, tough guys [working on] convicts, bikers [and] military guys overseas," Bennington says. "Our goal has always been to elevate the image of the tattoo industry as a whole."
Club Tattoo is striving to change public perceptions by putting the tattoo artists in its front."

Be Careful With Name Tattoos

If you are dead set on having someones name tattooed on you there are several routes you can go. For one you can get your own name with a cute little or masculine design around it. You could get the name of a beloved pet along with a paw print or you could simply get your children names tattooed on you. Another option you have is to get you mother or father's name tattooed on you. Just remember that tattoos are forever, but theoretically thinking they are actually forever. You can get them removed but that cost a lot of money and you will also endure a lot of pain to get that done. Not to mention that a highly possibility that some scarring will occur and the tattoo may not disappear all they way. So you could just be left with a very faint reminder of that name you want to get rid of. Just be on the safe side and don't be overly romantic when picking out a tattoo design.

Should Tattooing An Animal Be Conidered Animal Cruelty
This topic is very controversial to begin with. Some people probably have not even heard of pets having tattoos. However, pet tattoos happen a lot more often than one may think. For instance, race horses are given a tattoo in their lip right before their first race so the horse can be identified. This tattoo is used if for some reason the horse's records get lost in between different owner's. The new owner's can then track down the horse's records with the tattoo in their lip. This same practice is used for dogs as well. Many dog owner's chose to get their beloved dog tattooed with a series of numbers on their belly in the event of the dog getting lost. The tattoos are sort of used for the same purpose as a micro chip. With that being said these tattoos don't seem to be very cruel. However, the tattoos are administered the same way as a humans so people may feel that in itself is cruel. But people should know that the tattooing itself doesn't hurt the dog like it does a human because they have more layers skin, but it is still uncomfortable to them. The sound of the tattoo gun is want makes them the most uncomfortable.
With that being said tattooing your pet doesn't sound so bad. However, to tattoo your pet just because you feel it would be "cool" for your pet to sport a tattoo, probably falls somewhere under animal cruelty. Getting a series of numbers tattooed on your pet is a whole lot different that getting an actual tattoo design tattooed on them.

Jermaine Dupri Gets Tattoo Of Janet Jackson
If you are not familiar with the tattoo world or tattoo culture you may or may not know that it is pretty much a tattoo no no to get a tattoo of your lover's name or to get a portrait of them. Tattoo artist often refer to this gesture as being overly romantic. Yes, it's great to experience getting a tattoo together but it doesn't have to be something like their name or their picture. It is literally considered the kiss of death to get your lover's name and or their picture tattooed on you. Let's face it people just don't stay together forever anymore and nine times out of ten once someone does this they all of a sudden split up. Well Jermaine Dupri and Janet Jackson have been dating each other since 2002. So it's been 7 solid years of happiness for this celebrity couple, which in Hollywood 7 years is more like 70 years. Let's just hope for Jermaine's sake that they can beat the tattoo cruse and stay together.
For some unknown reason Jermaine thought it would be a great idea to get a rather interesting tattoo of girlfriend Janet Jackson on his rib cage. Janet is being portrayed as the Virgin Mary of all things. Jermaine had no problem admitting that it hurt like crazy and he had to take at least 100 breaks because he couldn't take the pain.
So take this as a lesson learned. One do not get a lover's name or portrait on you. It's like playing with fire you will end up getting burned, maybe not now but somewhere down the line. And number two getting a tattoo on your rib cage is a very painful place to get a tattoo.

Some Great Tattoo Tips
* Make sure you educated yourself on tattoos and tattooing. It is better to know how the tattoos work and what all is involved in the process. Also it also helps to find out how much pain and discomfort will be involved before hand so you can prepare yourself. A no brainier is that this tattoo will be with you for the rest of your life so make sure you are making the right decision. After all it is better to be a little cautious than to get one on the spur of the moment and regret it later.
*Make sure the tattoo parlor of your choice is clean and follows the proper cleaning and sterilizing that is required for tattoo parlors in your state. All tattoo parlors should have an autoclave, use new needles for every customer and wear new disposable gloves with every client.
*Select the right designs. This is very important. You have numerous outlets to find a design you will be happy with the rest of your life. If you can't find one at the tattoo parlor look through magazines, the internet, books, or come up with one yourself. But keep in mind a custom tattoo will end up costing you more.
*Ink proofing is very important. If you like black ink tattoos this rule doesn't apply to you as much. However, if you want to add some color to your tattoo it is best to ask the artist to proof the ink to make sure it will look right on your skin tone. Some ink colors look good on some skin tones while other's don't. Lastly, some ink colors tend to fad and look dull on certain skin tones.

Can Tattoos Help Cause Skin Cancer
However, what these people don't realize is the these materials that are in tattoo ink like, cobalt and aluminum are not causing skin cancer. In fact dermatologist have cleared this claim, by making it known that the tattoo ink is unlikely to do any harm because it is confined to cells in the skin called macrophages, whose job is to absorb foreign material. The culprit to the skin cancer was more than likely a mole that a tattoo was tattooed over so the person wasn't able to notice the changes in their mole. So the bottom line is, there is no evidence to prove that tattoos lead to skin cancer. Once again all the tattoo haters are proven wrong. Tattoos are not evil things, they are a right of self expression, just like someones hair color or hair cut. People need to start realizing that just becaue someone may look a little different or dress a little different it doesn't mean they are a bad person. Having tattoos doesn't make you less of a person but if you have something against someone because they have tattoos that does make you less of a person.


Tattoos More Popular Than One May Think
So this does bring some sort of hope to the tattoo industry in one way and it also hurts the industry. It's great that more and more people are getting interested in tattoos. The only down fall is that could mean more and more people are not thinking clearly about their tattoo decisions, thus is the reasoning why the laser tattoo removal business is booming right now. Either which a way you think about it the tattoo business is still on a rise and clearly isn't going anywhere anytime soon and the popularly of tattoos doesn't seem to be falling either. However, what certain people need to realize is the tattoo industry and tattoo artist can not be blamed for people's poor decisions when it comes to a tattoo design.
