Research- Reasons for and against Tattoo's.

Reasons to Get a Tattoo

Memories
Many people nowadays get tattoo's in memory for someone close to them that has died. But another facet of the “memories” idea that is often overlooked would be things that you really loved at one point in life.



Tributes
While these may look very similar to Memories, there’s an important distinction: tributes are the kinds of things you’d get tattoos for people that haven’t died.

Passions
People enjoy to get tattoos of things they are passionate about because that is something they once enjoyed so surely they wouldn't regret getting it done. Personal passions are fairly few and far between, in my experience. If there’s something you truly love, then a tattoo is a great way to show off how you feel. And if you’re not quite so into that thing a few years down the road, then you can count it as a memory!



Bad Reasons for Getting a Tattoo

Your boyfriends/girlfriends name. Dating relationships have a 99.9% failure rate, so if you end up breaking up you'll have something you regret on your skin for the rest of your life.

“I just really like the design” (a.k.a., No Reason at All) – Even if your tattoo is in reference to something stupid, at least it’s in reference to something. Tattoos that have absolutely no meaning whatsoever.
