Before anything though, go read this article.

Now. I understand that women are “naturally beautiful creatures” but how does getting a tattoo make you any less beautiful? How does getting a tattoo make you any less elegant or classy? It doesn’t. I’ve seen some women who are covered in tattoos look more beautiful and sexy and classy than other women who don’t have ink.

Also, where are the men in this argument? Is she also trying to say that it’s okay for men to get tattoos, but not for women to? Because last time I checked, the saying “your body is a temple” applied to everyone. Not just women. So if you’re going to sit here and say that getting tattoos makes you less attractive or classy or elegant, at least address the fact that it’s not just women getting tattoos. Men do it too. If a man can do it, a woman can too. End of story.

I find it comical that this girl is under the impression that women get tattoos because they feel self conscious or unhappy with their bodies, and that instead of getting tattoos, they should buy new clothes or work out. (because apparently all women are emotionally unstable and need something to fill that “void” inside of them and that’s all that tattoos are) I don’t get a tattoo because I’m feeling fat or ugly or because I need a new accessory or what have you. I get a tattoo because it’s a work of art that I want on my body. And it’s MY body and I’ll do whatever I damn well please with it. And don’t get me started on how “nothing comes out of getting a tattoo”. 

Who the fuck is she (or anyone else for that matter) to tell me what I can and can’t do to my body? As Abby said, “I WILL PUT HOLES IN THIS SHIT, I WILL TATTOO THIS SHIT, I WILL DYE THIS SHIT, I WILL PLUCK AND SHAVE THIS SHIT, I WILL DRESS THIS SHIT, AND I WILL MOTHERFUCKING ROCK THIS SHIT”

Basically, don’t tell me that I’m any less of a woman just because I make the decision (which I’ve thought a lot about) to tattoo and pierce my body. Don’t tell me that I can’t be classy or elegant just because I have ink and you don’t. And most of all, don’t tell me that my tattoos are pointless and meaningless.

My boyfriend is currently day drunk off of Applebee’s margaritas and is trying to buy things online. Wonderful. Haha
