A Tattoo or a Scar

It is very terrible in this day all the young ladies out there want and getting tattoos. They have no clue as to whether or not they will want it when they get older.

Teens that get tattoos have no idea over time they fade. Mostly people wrinkle when they age. Let’s face it the body at nineteen and twenty will not look that well at forty. Ok let’s say little Sue got her tattoo at age nineteen and the years have not been good to her. She is wrinkly and she now wants the tattoos removed. After removal she will have scars not to mention an empty pocket book from the cost.

Teens should really consider the consequences of a tattoo. Yes they are nice, yes its so cute having a butter fly on your backside, but remember in today’s day and age the elements are hard also on the body and no telling what the tattoo may look like in years to come.

A simple alternative is a painted on tattoo. In this, yes they do wash off, but there is no pain related and best of all if you get tired of looking a butterfly you can change it easily. Many times we jump the gun, and it’s the “in” thing to do, by getting a tattoo. Heck all your friends have one, why not you? Well be smart, save yourself from high cost of removal down the road and tattoo that turns ugly as you age.

Take time to really think about your life long decision. In getting a tattoo, it will be with you for the rest of your life. Are you sure about the pain? The cost? Many employers today will only hire you if you hide your tattoos. Many have to wear jewelry to cover up on the wrist. In some case the gals will have to wear dark stocking to cover ones on their legs. If you are unsure, then get a test tattoo, paint on one to see what you think and how others react. In this you will know for sure.
