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.
