Today’s headlines caught me by surprise. ‘City’s Execs, Lawyers, Doctors steal body-art bastion from punks’. I realized that the city’s professionals have gained a completely new and different outlook towards body-art and tattooing in particular. An even more surprising part was that these people were middle aged and this band even included homemakers!
Many reasons can be put forward for this change in trend:
1. These people are now moving towards a more modern ideology and this middle aged; professional junta refuses to be left behind.
2. The idea of inking your skin permanently, with something which is close to your heart proves to be a thrilling experience. Moreover it proves the dedication of that person towards the emotion/ entity to which the tattoo is related. (Hence, these people put in a lot of thought about what they want tattooed onto them)
3. Also, maybe the person finds that going through the painful ordeal gives him/her a sense of victory and accomplishments.
4. And last but not the least, today tattooing is not looked down upon as junkie or hippy stuff anymore in corporate and social circles.
Cheers! To all these guys and gals who remain young at heart through their actions…
All this talk about tattoos has set me thinking…maybe I should get one too…on second thought maybe I’ll take mom and dad along!

wat if the thought or idea thats been tattooed, gets changed after some yrs or so. the person will have to get scar or a star on the old tattoo? this idea scares me at times n holds me back frm gettin one.
@phoenix
I agree, even in the article that I was reading, a person who had got a tattoo done expressed how scared she was of the pain of removal of the tattoo.
The permanency tattoo and pain involved in getting it done discourages me too!!!
