Tattoos — Speaking from the past and saying to the present with hopes of speech to the future.
You might want to ask your self a few questions before you indulge in the art of tattooing or what some people phrase as a “permanent wound” that pierces deep into your epidermis, otherwise known as the second layer of your skin.
Most people do not realize how important it is to be healthy when contemplating inking up a part of, or their entire bodies as some have done these days. According to Tattoofinder.com’s Tattoo – Pedia, It is very important that your immune system can withstand the molecules’ inability to discharge from the bloodstream. Therefore, it takes a healthy individual with a good immune system and those who most definitely can stand the pain of having a tattoo.
Getting a tattoo can also cost a fortune according to Mike, known by most as, EZ. He has been a tattoo artist now for several years and works at the Psychedelic Butterfly in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Mike says, besides the money he loves creating tattoos.
“It’s an art, I’m an artist, and I love to draw. I love doing any type art, whether it be drawing or music, and I’m doing what I love to do,” he said.
Mike says he has heard many touching stories from people as to why they want tattoos. “There was just sisters that came up in here last week. They got adopted and haven’t seen each other for like 36 years. And they came in here the same day that they reunited through Facebook and bonded and it was a beautiful thing,” he said.
Elizabeth Farley was at the shop to get her eighth tattoo. She says she does not have a particular reason for getting her tattoos. However, she said there was one she held dear to her heart. “It’s Arabic for, you are the love of my soul.” Elizabeth said she and her boyfriend have the same tattoo in hopes they will become married one day.

Before you anxiously set off to the nearest Tattoo Parlor, you should be ultimately sure about why you are doing it and for what reasons. You may want to do it in honor of a lost loved one, or a new love. However years from now you may regret it as you sit peacefully on your veranda rocking in her favorite chair asking yourself why the heck you did it. So just, make sure it is something you will not regret because although there are ways to erase tattoos now there are no guarantees that they will work for you.
Most individuals get tattoos to mirror who they are, their needs, opinions, passions, or how they view our world. Nevertheless, you must realize these are permanent markings that will identify who you are, and rightfully so.
Of course, there will always be those “Haters” or opinionates who will try to make you feel like you have just sold your soul to the almighty Devil himself. In addition, there will be those who will turn and run the other way at the sight of a tattoo. However, if you listen to everyone who has an opinion of your body art you will surely find yourself disenchanted.
