Is there a good reason to get a tattoo? do people have real reasons for doing it?

Question

what are the best places to go? no matter what state

Answer 1

People get them because they want them, and they've thought about it enough and for a long enough time to decide that they won't regret it. Some people get things just to beautify their bodies, some people get them to remind them of loved ones, some people get them to remind them of values that are important to them. There are all sorts of reasons people get them. But ultimately it comes down to really wanting one and giving it thought.

The best artists the world over:

If you're looking for someone in a certain area, I recommend Yelp.com, and the 'Best of" your city awards. Check out citysearch.com to find best of tattoo/piercings lists for your city. And remember, there are tons of wonderful artists who just have really different styles. Find someone who specializes in what you are looking for and who you like. Good luck!

Answer 3

It really depends on your opinion of tattoos, it could be for remembrance, just because you love something, or for whatever other reason.

Answer 5

..... I wont get one for anything,

why spoil a beautiful body with one,

it tarnishes it,

the beauty given by god,

if you still need, go for a temporary one and remove it

once you had your fun.

Answer 6

This year I'm hoping to get mine. It's my chinese name in, well you guessed it, chinese. it represents my ethnicity, pride and my name is pretty sweet.

Answer 7

people do it for very good reasons,

or just because they want to.

well, you're going to have to do some searching and read some reviews on places, because they differ from state to state.

Answer 8

The important reason will be different for each individual. Some individuals may see it as an act of a memorial, dedication, significant time in their life. I do believe there are some, shall I say not so bright reasons to get a tattoo as well (like when someone tattooed "I love Mike", but next week it's Brad).

I am not one to prefer a lot of tattoos. For me to permanently mark my body it would have to be something very important to me. I do want one tattoo and have been waiting for a year to get it. I thought very long about it and I want a tattoo with a symbolism of "Wisdom, Knowledge, Acceptance" because I feel those are very important to who I am. I set a goal that if I kept my 4.0 GPA in my Psych Major for one year I would get it. I succeeded in my goal, but now I am stumped as to where I want to put it! Someplace discreet. but where I can see it daily as a constant reminder of who I am and the goal I set in my life (hmm.. maybe ankle?).

As far as the best places to go I have done some searching in the area. I found two places here that are reputable. I would ask friends and others for recommendations. Look in the phone book go and check out many different places, see their work and how clean the facility is.

  

Answer 9

Some people do, some people don't.

For me, it was a spur of the moment thing that Idid on one of my long-ago b-days.

best places to go to are those that have a good rep. Ask around, visit parlors-do your research!

Answer 10

ofcourse...but that reason has to come from you. what u have overcome, your favorite ___, what u beleive in, ect....

if people feel like its important enough to have it on their body obviously it has a good reason.

EXCEPT some people do get tats for the h**l of it. my friend got a "BUTT" behind hid ear. soooo stupid

and if people names all the "best" places to go...this page would overflow.

i love my tattoo artist over in san diego "body marks"
