When Will Tattoos Be Appreciated?

Stereotyping Tattooed Women


   "It's Cheap." as they say, especially the stereotypes.. In the mindset of people, tattoos are for those who are brute, no lives and considered 'outcasts' of the society.. When people see a person with a tattoo, they might keep distance because they're scared or disgusted, some are amazed and praise the true meaning of body art.. Those people are the open-minded folks of the society who find Tattoo as an 'ART' and doesn't put any negative conclusions about a person with a tattoo.
    Most of the stereotypes who dislike tattoos are those who are living in high standards and are close-minded, mostly old people who are practiced with an old-fashioned standards.. Back then, people who are tattooed are considered criminals/bad persons proving how brute they are and brave for enduring the pain from getting a tattoo. But nowadays tattoos are appreciated mostly by open-minded people, teens even have it because it is a way of appreciating Art. "It is the only art you can bring until death."
    There's nothing wrong with people with tattoos as long as they make good deeds towards their family, friends, community and into the society.. We should all appreciate the great or small things inked people has done not only for themselves but also for everyone.. Women are mostly stereotyped by close-minded people because as they said it's cheap. But if you get through the meaning of the tattoo you'll see how deep the purpose of having it.
     One more thing, tattoos are meant to be seen by people, for them to appreciate what that tattoo means, and at the same time they might appreciate the art out of the tattoo.. You don't hide it where people cannot see it, how can it possibly be an art if you don't show it? Just like the paintings in some gallery exhibits, they are praised and complimented, so why not Tattoos?
     I don't care about what people might say, or think towards me. But i love my tattoo and i appreciate how artistic and courageous it is as a form of Art.
