Tattoos

In Stephanie Dolgoff's essay "Tattoo Me Again and Again," she expressed her feelings towards tattoos. I slightly agree with her. Tattoos should represent or symbolize something, but some tattoos are just for show. I have a few tattoos that don't nessasarily mean anything special, but I got them just for beauty. I have stars on my stomach, not because they mean anything imparticular, but because they are beautiful to me. I believe anyone should get a tattoo whether it means something or not. There are more explanations for getting inked up other than to express yourself. Some people use tattoos to cover up scars that they are embarrassed of, others use it to stand out, some people are daring and just want to try something new. Whatever the case may be, I think it's all good. As long as you are happy in the end, is all that matters.
