People all around the world have different tattoos which mean different things. The only time people really don't like what they see, is when the tattoos or piercings are on adolescents and they think it is only because it is a trend; which it isn't. If you are reading this and you do think tattoos and piercings are a trend and not a means of self-expression, then keep on reading because you might change your mind after all. At the same time, if you do think they are a means of self-expression, then you too should keep reading as this might deepen your opinion on self-expressive tattoos and piercings. Most people who have tattoos and piercings have them because it is a way for them to show who they are, not because of a trend. Tattoos and piercings are a way for people to express themselves and not just a trend because it is their choice to do it; no one can force another person to have a tattoo or a piercing because they are meaningful, because they are meaningful to that person and lastly, because it is not in the intent to rebel; they signify their personal identity and shows part of who they are and what they are about.
Firstly, people that we see in streets with tattoos and piercings usually have them because it is meaningful to them. Having tattoos and piercings is something that only you can control. You decide where to put it, why you want it and if you really do want one. If you really want a tattoo or a piercing, do it for you and you only, because it will stay there forever. Except for piercings; you may end up having a scar and some people may also get infections. People who write people's name on their body in tattoo only because they love that person is over the top; but you can't judge someone like that. They do whatever they want with their body, whether you like it or not. In this case, the tattoos people choose to put on themselves are self-expressive and not just a trend because no one in the world, neither your family nor your friends, can control you in having or not having a tattoo. You and you only are the boss of your body.
Secondly, tattoos and piercings help people show who they are and their personality because those tattoos and piercings people decide to put on themselves should be significant and meaningful to them in any way, shape or form. You can't judge a person for what you see because those tattoos and piercings either represent a period in their life they overcame, their personality, or for piercings, something they like and have always wanted. “Tattoos are like stories - they're symbolic of
the important moments in your life“(Pamela Anderson). This is a really good
example of what someone said that represents the statement that we shouldn't
judge someone because of those things because they may represent a moment in
their life for example, a loss.
Lastly, the reason why tattoos and piercings are not a trend but a way to express yourself is because people decide to have tattoos not in the intent to rebel or copy others. People decide to have a tattoo because they either like it or because it means something deep to them. The types of things people do to their bodies for example, tattoos and piercings and sometimes permanent, so better not put something just to copy others because you will regret it a lot depending on what you put. They signify their personal identity and shows part of who they are and what they are they about; not to copy others and do something that is not you and you only. The Frederick-Recascino research has proved exactly that... which is that people do not get piercings and tattoos because of peer-pressure but because it is a way for them to reflect an aspect of who they are and their identity.
To conclude, people who have tattoos and piercings have them for self-expression, not for trends and thinking they will look cool after. They are a means of expression because it is their choice to do it and no one can oblige another person to have a tattoo or a piercing, because they are meaningful to that person and finally, because it is not in the intent to rebel. They signify their personal identity and shows part of who they are and what they are about. If you really think about it, not many people would actually put a tattoo on their body that means absolutely nothing just to be cool.
