Tattoos are permanent 'drawings' on the body. Peoples attitudes towards tattoos have changed in time, in the past tattoos carried a stigma with them. They were seen as horrible and only for thugs. However these days tattoos are doen for many reasons to mark a special time in ones life, for decoration, for attractiveness and also for acceptance into certain groups. There all types of people that have tattoos and now there is not such a stigma about them e.g. people who have them are not seen as thugs. However a tattoo is a big thing to have done on ones body as they are expensive, they hurt, they are permanent and too remove them by laser is very costly and more painfull than the actuall tattoo itself. These are the main thoughts about having a tattoo done instead of thoughts like, is a tattoo bad, will i look like a thug etc... These are the types of thoughts people may have had in the past. However soem of these thoughts still exist especially in some religions were tattoos are throwned upon and are seen as bad e.g. in christianity the body is meant to be seen as ones temple and therefore some say tattoos are like graffiti, that they are wrong and cheap looking. However tattoos are seen differently by different people e.g. some may find them wrong, ugly etc... The choice of having a tattoo done is down to the individual.
