Body inked up

Why do people get tattoos? I'm not saying that they're bad or anything because I have one myself, but what makes someone want to get tatted? Every tattoo I plan on getting has some meaning to it. It's not just some body art. I got a track foot that I drew up tatted up my chest because track is the love of my life. I can't explain it but track just takes me to this happy place. I wonder if anyone has ever thought of advertising using tattoos? That could be an untapped marketable field. I mean I wouldn't get a companies name tatted on me, but maybe someone who'd like to get paid would be interested in doing something like that. That would probably be considered as the most extreme form of advertising, but at least you'll know it's a life time of advertisement.

  1. On a down note, very few people my age relish the tattoos they got when they were young. Over time, they start to smear and fade.

  2. I wanted a tattoo for the longest time, but my fear of needles and low tolerance of pain kept me from completing this goal. I've also seen people who tatted a logo on their body. Here are some that I found on Google Images:
