I understand that tattoos may not be for everyone, but in my opinion, everyone should get at least one tattoo that they absolutely love at some point in their lifetime. People get tattoos for a variety of reasons, but every tattoo is equally as special and unique.

People frequently worry that they will regret their tattoo later on or that they won't be able to find a tattoo idea that they will be able to commit to for the rest of their life. But once you finally get a tattoo, you fall in love with it and can't wait to get more.

Here are 11 reasons why everyone should get at least one tattoo:

1. Tattoos are like art on your body.

2. Tattoos are a great way to pay tribute to something or someone you love.

Take the classic "I <3 Mom" tattoo, for instance. (but just a suggestion, don't actually get that).

3. Tattoos are just cool to look at.

4. Your tattoos will be unique - no one will have a tattoo that is quite like yours!

Your tattoos will make you unique and help you show off your distinct personality.

5. Tattoos are a permanent reminder of a particular moment or time in your life.

Having a tattoo that reminds you of a certain experience will always help you reminisce back on that time.

6. Sometimes, the story of a tattoo becomes a great story to tell.

My boyfriend got a leprechaun tattoo in Dublin during St. Patrick's Day weekend - that will definitely be a great story one day!

7. Once you have a tattoo, you'll notice it and it'll make you happy.

Sometimes I forget my tattoos are even there, but I always smile when I see them.

8. Tattoos help people get a sense of who you are and what your style is.

Having a specific tattoo may show people what you are interested in or what you value.

9. Tattoos can either be very meaningful, or you can get one simply just because you want it.

Not all tattoos have to have a deeper meaning! It's okay to get a tattoo just because you like the design or image.

10. Tattoos are a form of expression.

11. If you've been considering getting one for months or even years, just go for it!

In the words of Shia LaBeouf, "just do it!"

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
