Today topic is about Piercing and tattoos.
Personally I love piercings and tattoos, not because it is
cute or just to fit in but it makes me who I am as a person it’s a personal
choice I have made for myself and that’s what makes me unique. What got me interested in tattoos and
piercings was when I was small I’ve seen people with tattoos and I thought I
was the most beautiful piece of art any one could own or have on their body,
also the color of the ink popping out on the skin. Then the piercings I always
thought it would be cool to have, especially around the ear because it would be
different and unique to have.
But growing up I told my mom right off the back that I
wanted tattoos and piercings but like any other mom she said “no”, yes it was
sad but then I told her that when I turn 18 I will get my tattoos and
piercings, and then that’s when she said that, “go ahead, it’s your body.” In
high school I had two piercings and I still have them. Then when I went to
college I decided to get a third piercing and so now I have three piercings on
each ear. And I recently got a new piercing done in December, the type of
piercing I got is located on my tongue. On tattoos I have not yet to get one,
but I am saving up for the one I want and it’s going to be a back piece. To be
honest I am looking forward to getting my first tattoo, because it’s something
I’ve been wanting to get since I was a little girl, and I also plan on getting
more piercings done on my ears and maybe, JUST maybe my lips.
Throughout the times I have gotten my piercings done and
planning on getting my tattoos I had no support from my family and friends.
I’ve been told that it makes me look ugly and I should grow up, yes these words
hurt me because it shows me that my friends and family cannot accept me for who
I became to be but, hey we are different but we share the same feelings on the
inside. Not only the harsh words that were getting to me but my family members
had pointed out that I am the bad example to my nieces and nephews because I
was the only aunty that had piercings, but on the positive note I’m in college
and still going strong.
Overall with all the piercings that I have, I do not regret
it one bit. I do not regret it one bit because I love them and it was my
personal choice since I was 6 years old. Also not to mention that it makes me
unique and not a plain person. And if you do plan on getting a tattoo or a
piercing make sure that it is something that you want and can agree on, also
not to mention no matter what choice you make about getting a tattoo or a
piercing you are beautiful no matter what. J
