Tattoos can be bold and elaborate, or subtle and very small. The designs are endless, and often show a remarkable amount of detail and craftsmanship. But why get one? Were you one of those young daring youths who just had to have one to show your peers or outrage your parents? Maybe you wanted to impress your significant other and declare your love as a permanent mark—forever theirs?
People in all cultures get tattoos for a variety of different reasons. Some want to raise attention regarding something they care about. Others wish to honor a loved one. People even use them as reminder mantras. But using your body in this manner does have consequences. It may not be so easy to remove a tattoo later when your feelings about it change. Also, sometimes the colored pigments in them can be the cause of harmful physical reactions.
