There are many reasons why people get tattoos and many reasons why people remove tattoos.  So of course there are reasons why people should not get tattoos in the first place.  Here are a few reasons not to get a tattoo.

1.  Some one else wants you to

2.  Trying to become more “cool”3.  Trying to stand out as abnormal4.  Because your friend wants one and there is a two for one sale.

5.  Because you are a super fan of basketball.

These are just a few reasons why some people should not get tattoos.  As is with everything in life, no one thing is good for everyone, including getting a tattoo.  Luckily, for those people (including me) that learn lessons the hard way… tattoo removal is a reality.

One thing everyone seems to “get” or agree is tattoos are undeniably laden with attitude. On the surface tattoos are merely colorful expressions of identity, yet underlying the facade tattoos possess engrossing power emerging from permanency, pain, and psychoanalysis.

Could it just be tattoos exist as exclusive designs connecting one with the world, representations of inner truths for outer interpretation? Perhaps the only way to “get” it out of one’s self is to get it tattooed.

Men generally get masculine, powerful tattoo designs, while women typically go for tattoo designs that draw upon their beauty and femininity. And placement of tattoos on the body, are not accidental. Tattoo designs are intentionally located on areas of the body to be noticed and often meant to insinuate personality traits.

While the majority of men are forthcoming about their tattoos, many women claim their tattoos are purely for personal enjoyment and for select individuals in their lives.  This perhaps is one of the most ludicrous fabrications in tattooing.   

Seriously, if a tattoo is intended for personal viewing and enjoyment, why then would anyone get one in an area they can’t even see without twisting and contorting themselves in the mirror?   When a woman gets a lower back tattoo she definitely wants the attention that comes along with it.  And I guarantee, very few of the men getting an eyeful of her tattoo are thinking, “Gee whiz, there goes a real wholesome lady.” 

Has tattooing been embraced as an art of consumption, private manifestation and insubordination with the body as the site of exhibition?

Or are tattoos just hip and trendy, the ”in thing” to have?

Truly amazing concept isn’t it?   This makes life much more simple doesn’t it?  Respect yourself and others will respect you.  Be proud of yourself. Aspire to be an individual and unique spirit, and others will admire your confidence.  Get someone else’s name carved into your skin, and the world will entitle you such.  Postmark your calling on your lower back and yes; the world will respect your Tramp Stamp.

The view of your tattoos and you: remember, the rest of the world only sees it as it is.

If tattoos are a form of self-expression, the following individuals must be speechless…

According to the the Guinness Book of World Records - The man with the most tattoos covering his body is Tom Leppard, of Scotland.  99.2 percent of Leppard’s body is tattooed with a leopard hyde design, and all the skin between the dark spots tattooed saffron yellow. 

The world’s most tattooed woman is a Canadian who goes by the name Krystene Kolorful. Ms. Kolorful is indeed just that as 95 percent of her body is tattooed.  Interestingly, her tattoo bodysuit took over ten years to complete.

And the person holding the record of most individual tattoo designs on one body is Bernard Moeller, of USA.  Moeller has astonshingly over 14,000 seperate tattoos decorating his body. 

Seriously, that’s what I call expressive. Opps, I mean impressive.  Well,  I guess both?

Its one thing when a tattoo represents or symbolizes meaning in one’s life, but honestly how many people truly have a deep spiritual connection with Tweety Bird?

Why would anyone walk into a tattoo shop on a whim, look threw a few books, close their eyes and then randomly point to a cartoon and say, “This is it, this is the one I imagined.” Somehow I am just not grasping the “meaningful” part of this “art.”

But what is even more troubling to me is the Name Game. Really why would anyone want another persons name etched into his or her skin?  Oh yes, because it’s art. What happened to writing on the bathroom wall or even spray paint on the side of a building?  Now graphite there is a serious form of art.

Luckily for all of these art lovers tattoo removal exists. 

      The bageler launched into a dissertation on laser tattoo removal stating the facts of how it cost too much, takes too long, and hurts like hell.  The customer seemingly intrigued by the bageler’s remorse suggested he keep the tattoo just as it is.  But, the bageler shook his head saying he just couldn’t settle with living it.   

The bageler searching asked if the customer had ever heard of wrecking balm?  Interested for the reaction, I looked at the customer’s face.  She had heard of the product but her opinion was “it’s just a bunch of creams… and it doesn’t work.” 

     Avoiding the temptation to rudely pipe up, admitting I had listed to every word I didn’t speak.  I desperately wanted to inform the bagel guy that WreckingBalm was not just a bunch of cream and that it is uniquely designed using several known tattoo removal techniques.   

     I really wish I would have given him the website WreckingBalm to learn more about the product and how it uses a variety of creams and gels along with what they call a dermal device to remove the upper layers of the skin and eventually remove the tattoo.

     The next time I see the bageler, I am going to mention his tattoo and tell him about my tattoo removal curiosities.
