There are almost as many reasons to get a tattoo, as there are people who have them. Each person has their own reason in particular, may be one reason may be common or unique, but it is still individual.
People who get a tattoo on impulse or a dare, drunk, or to please someone else, are those that tend to be less satisfied with the results. Even while keeping it as a spur-of-a mistake the moment, a person acquiring a tattoo in these conditions are rarely happy with him in a long term basis. Unfortunately, this type of situation does not constitute a reasonable percentage of the number of people who get tattoos - and later regret. Most people who get tattoos primarily as a means of rebellion also dissatisfied over the long term, as they grow out of feeling the need to rebel, which grow out of enjoying the same symbols.
For those who make an informed decision about getting a tattoo, whether they recognize it or not are usually in either of two categories: those who identify with a group, or those who are identified as individuals. Both use the tattoo as a means of expression. At the end of the spectrum are those prisoners who belong to groups like the Aryan Brotherhood. " A tattoo shows both members and nonmembers alike to which group the inmate. These are the tattoo designs of the various codes and other oddities that take people who are not also members will not understand. Most of the bands from the center of the city also have been coded tattoo designs for the same reason. In these cases, tattoos serve a dual purpose: they are a union of a person to a particular group, and a way to separate those who are outside that group.
Some people have a tattoo simply because they want to have one. In addition to not pay close attention to the care of their long-term implications, or be very selective about what particular design you want, this is not necessarily negative. For many, just like art on your skin is reason enough to visit a local tattoo studio, delivering a relatively large amount of money and have something engraved in your skin that is destined to remain there for the rest of his life. The more complex design or can be a simple matter of talking to the world, or something you choose to keep only to yourself.
Others use this form of expression in a manner similar to what previous generations to do with t: to show the world what I mean. Choose text, or designs that symbolize something that is meaningful to them. You can see everything from American flags and crosses with the names of those who love, and sometimes, a phrase that pushes the boundaries of the First Amendment. In the past, people wore what they believed, represented, and worried in their shirts, tattoos often these days have the same purpose.
Many people use tattoos as memorials. Tattoos can be designed to the memory of a deceased loved one, of course, but also can be designed with the purpose of keeping in mind other places or situations that a person does not want to forget. When someone or something you want to keep close to his heart, a tattoo can be a beautiful way to go. The photographs and other memorabilia are not permanent - tattoos are.
Why people get tattoos? The reasons are as varied as individuals. Whether you have a tattoo or not, if you know someone who does, it is important to realize that you do not know what the reasons are that person, unless he or she decides to tell you.
