Body art is something that people like to get their nose in. You see, as someone that is tattooed and tattooed somewhat frequently there is nothing more annoying than judgmental people putting their opinion where it doesn't belong. Below are a list of the top 10 things that all tattooed people are tired of hearing. (In no particular order):
1) Are you afraid that you'll regret it? They're like really permanent...
oh.. are they "really permanent? I had no idea...
2) Where are you getting it done?
Even if I told you what shop I'm going to, you'll have something negative to say and will suggest somewhere else, even though you don't have a single tattoo.
3) No like where on your body are you getting it done?
Oh I'm sorry.. I should have known you were talking about placement on my body rather than the location in which I'm going to get it..
4) Are you sure you want to get it there?
Yes, I'm absolutely sure...
5) What if you can't get a job because you have tattoos?
If I can't get a job because of the tattoos that these people will never see then I don't want to work there anyway.. It's not rocket science.
6) What is the meaning behind it?
None of your business...
7) Don't you think that you could have spent your money on something better?
No. All my bills are paid, my life is together, and I didn't feel like spending my money on new throw pillows from Target..
8) What do you parents think?
Well my parents purchased my first one for me so you answer that question for yourself..
9) Did it hurt?
Of course not.. 100 needles continuously going into my skin actually tickles.
10) You know it wont look the same when you're older, right?
I know and isn't that really cool?! Cause I'll be that 80 year old with all this awesome art on my body and all these kick ass stories to share.
