Personally i feel tattoos are ace as i have a few myself, i dont see how having one is participating in bad behaviour in the slightest. As long as the individual thinks about what there having i believe they show how that person wants to express themselves and how they want to make themselves different from anybody else.
Ok yes, if its done in the wrong way people have been known to contract infections,Even the Red Cross is concerned with the risk of hepatitis being transmitted through a tattoo. However, the CDC's (centre for disease control) latest numbers from 1996 show that only .8% of cases (12 out of 13,387) appear to be related to tattooing.
As everybody knows tattoos involve needles piercing the skin however, as of 2009 there have been no recorded HIV transmissions through tattooing. http://www.ehow.com/facts_4867146_statistics-tattoo-health-risks.html
A number of employees make it well known that they do wish there employees to have tattoos in a visible place such as there forearms or hands, and in some cases the choice to do so can end up in the employee being fired or denied a job. http://www.examiner.com/x-7281-Detroit-Alternative-Medicine-Examiner~y2010m3d29-Arguments-against-tattoos However, although this is a reason not to get a tattoo all it takes is the individual to put thought into the decision and it shouldnt need to lead to such an extreme, it just means having a tattoo that cant be seen in your day to day work clothing.
Most major religiouns dont agree with tattoos or anything of the sort such as piercings as they see it as an attack on God to change the body from its original state.
I believe that everyone is entitled to their opinions and if those who follow religion do not agree with them then they dont have to have one as is most things its down to personal choice. Yes, people might argue about the risk of infection and the denial of certain jobs but all it takes is thought, make sure that if your having a tattoo to pay that bit extra and go to a studio that is clean and well known and as for jobs if you no you want a job that dont agree with visible tattoos have one thats not visible....Simple! I think that tattoos show things about people depending on what they have and i think there a great way to express yourself and if somebody wants one they shouldnt be judged by typical stereotypes its just what they choose to spend their money on.
