The Tattoo Generation

"The culture of having tattoos has altered throughout time."

The Tattoo Generation

Tattoos have long been practiced on humans for centuries. The culture of having tattoos has altered throughout time. The sheer idea of having tattoos was once only common upon the rougher edges of society’s people. Now, however, the idea of having tattoos seems to be among all folk.

The reason for this sudden generation of acceptance of tattoos has been brought about for many reasons. One reason that seems somewhat obvious is the fact that the millennials have been overall named a generation of acceptance. Acceptance has been practiced by this generation in many forms. Great movements of social issues have been produced through the millennial’s strong convictions of acceptance and love. All races, all sexual identities, all people are accepted through a generation of people who live by the definition of acceptance and equality. It is only logical that they would be the generation to also accept tattoos among all people.

There is no single person who doesn’t fit the “tattoo image” anymore.

Tattoos are being seen as artwork rather than a permanent mistake. Simply by looking up pictures of tattoos one can see the beauty of today's tattoos. There are styles and colors for everyone.

Individuality is a huge value of the current generation. Expression of oneself seems to be something that this generation collectively agrees upon doing. When tattoos are seen as artwork it is easy for one to pick out images or words that some how describe them. From small to large tattoos people are finding ways to express themselves in body artwork.

The impulsive and free-spirited generation that is upon us is the tattoo generation but they are more than that. They are the generation of believers, doers, and seekers.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
