Tattoos have become such a norm in this generation and I can honestly say that that is one thing I am super proud to be a part of.

Tattoos used to be something that you got judged for right off the bat; you couldn’t get hired if you had tattoos and you were considered basically just a bad person all around. Now, they’ve become a trend that you see everywhere you go.

Not only is it art and a beautiful way to express yourself, but it actually helps some people through really tough times in their life; whether it’s someone who fought breast cancer and they got a tattoo to cover their scars or whether it’s someone who lost a loved one and got something tattooed to remember them by. It is such a beautiful thing but for some reason, I always hear that women shouldn’t have tattoos; that’s it’s not ladylike. So here are a couple reasons why if anyone deserves tattoos, it’s women.

Women are so strong

From childbirth to periods and even sometimes working three jobs at a time, women are so strong and powerful and you want to tell us we “shouldn’t” have tattoos? Just stop.

Women are so beautiful

Our bodies are empty canvases, all different and readily waiting to be tainted with beautiful art.

Women shouldn’t always be held to such high standards on certain things

Men tell us we can’t do this and that because it’s not ladylike or it’s too much for us, yet you guys act more like babies than we do.

Women are boss ass b*tches

I don’t care if I see a woman with her entire body tattooed from head to toe because I bet you she’s walking around with a nice suit on and working her butt off, too.

Women deserve everything and more

We deserve whatever it is that our little hearts desire. Leave us alone and stop telling us what we “shouldn’t” be doing. Maybe you should figure out what you should start doing so you can get like us.

We will keep getting tattooed and you can continue to hate on us for it but we’re going to continue to show you that your opinion is irrelevant and we look bomb anyway.
