5 Reasons You Should Never Get A Tattoo
McKenzie Guevarez

Many people are getting tattoos now in life. It has become a lot more popular over the past several years. Older adults like to tell us we are ruining our lives with these tattoos because they are permanent, as if we didn't know that already. Here are five reasons you should never get a tattoo.

1. Expressing yourself is wrong

So many people get tattoos to express themselves. Of course, that is wrong. You should never want to express yourself through a tattoo because it is permanent in case you did not know.

2. Being creative isn’t okay

Tattoos can be a work of art. Artists let themselves get creative and some decorate a lot of their body with tattoos. They need to be careful though because it is permanent.

3. Keeping someone’s memory alive is lame

When a friend, a family member, or a loved one passes away, sometimes we get tattoos to remember them and help us honor them. However, remember that this memory of them will be permanent on your body.

4. Bonding with a friend or sibling over one is boring

Oh your sisters are always there for you, or your mom is your best friend? There are matching tattoos to show that and many people get them. It is a way to create a forever bond. It will be a forever bond though because tattoos are permanent.

5. Making yourself happy with it every day is soooo last year

These permanent ink marks make people happy. They are something we look in the mirror at and smile. Older and young judemental people don't always understand but that's okay, it isn't their body. Clearly I support tattoos and whatever you want to do with them, it is your body, not mine.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.
