Many say tattoos originated in 3300B.C. with the Iceman. But if that were to be a fact, then Tattoos must have been around the Egyptian & Nubian mummies date which was 2000B.C. Tattooing was rediscovered by the Europeans when exploration brought them into contact with the Polynesians and the American Indians

Tattoo Aftercare:

After you get inked up the artist puts a piece of

thick bandage. Your supposed to keep it on for about 2-4 hours so dirt won’t enter since a tattoo is like a fresh cut. When you remove the bandage wash it with warm water and anti

bacterial soap. After that your supposed to put some ointment called “A&D” personally I use

Neosporin. When it starts heeling it’s going to itch, so don't peel off

the scabs.

What do others think?Not everyone thinks the same about ink. Your parents might not like it oryour grandparents, and so on. You might good compliments and you might get bad. People like to judge a book by it’s cover. When your walking down the street and others see you covered in tattoos they automatically think you’re a bad person, but really you might be the most caring person in the world. As time goes by more and more people are starting to accept the fact that ink is the way people express their selves.

Disadvantages

I have 5 tattoos and many more to come. Once you start you can’t stop. I’ve started getting them when I turned 16. Up till now I already have ideas of my next ones. The one on my my right wrist means “Love” the one on my left wrist means “Faith.” The one on my right inner arm says “Never let the hand you hold, hold you down.” The one on my ribs is a cross. The one on my back is a sugar skull flower of some sort, with the female sign embedded. The one on my back I designed, when I first drew it out it was just a normal flower, then I added the face, and then the female sign. It’s my favorite one because it’s original, no one has it but me…at least I think so. None of them hurt except the one on my ribs. My next idea in mind is an eye behind my neck. We’ll see how that one turns out. When people ask me if I have any trouble with them, the truth is no. I’m not planning to get into any fancy career. A plumber or a technician don’t have to worry about hiding their ink…at least I don’t think so. Well that’s it for now.
