The photo below which I saw from a friend's Facebook wall, inspired me to write this blog entry.
Getting a tattoo, body art, ink (however you call it) is getting fashionable these days. Different people have different reasons for getting one, the permanent kind. It may signify an important phase in their life, say a death of a love one, a new found love, a birthday and the list goes on. And then, there are those who gets inked because it is a popular fashion accessory. I see people from different walks of life sporting a tattoo. Not only is it seen on prisoners or gang members or artists. Some students, doctors, teachers, lawyers have them as well.
If only the process of tattoing is not that painful, I'd definitely get one. In fact, I already have a design in mind. But for someone who is afraid of needles/ getting injections, having a henna tattoo will suffice the need... It's not painful unlike the typical tattoo in which needles have to be punched through the skin. And since it's temporary, if ever I get tired of the design, I'll just wait for two weeks or so, the tattoo will be completely erased from my skin.
Speaking of henna. I have two "body art" right now. I got it when I was in Boracay three days ago. One is located at my nape and the other at my right ankle.
