Opinion Essay About Tattoos And Piercings

Are piercings and tattoos a fad or, in contrast, are they here to stay? This is an important question and the answer depends on multiple plus personal aspects. If you are really keen on tattooing and piercing, you probably answer "they are here for a long time", whereas if you are against that fashion, perhaps you will say "they are only depending on trend.

 

   First of all, I know artists nowadays are well trained on handling the equipment. Although tattoos and piercing studios are said to be cleaner than your average doctor´s office, it may be dangerous. Moreover, it could be pretty risky. Not only may it damage your skin, but you also can get infectious diseases like Hepatitis B, C or HIV.

 

   Secondly, It is said that it is cool to remind you an important date or event in your life, for instance yours wedding´s date or your actual partner´s name. However, have you taken into account the possibility of spliting up with your partner or even getting the divorce? Tattooing is permanent. Well now, there are some treatments to make dissapear that mark, but they are expensive and, what is worse, they are entirely griveous.

 

   Thirdly, it is style and originality what people who have on tattoo or piercing are looking for. Furthermore, they look for a way to express their individuality. That is the reason of youth, who just pretending to imitate friends os celebrities or simply wants to rebel against parents and society in general. What I want to mean is teenagers do not think about the consequences in the future. For example: they would be identified with the wrong "group", they may be pretty easily become judget and rejected or even tattoos and piercings could be an obstacle on getting a job.

 

   To conclude, I would like to say it is complicated to decide if tattoos and piercings are only a fad or they are here to stay. Personally, I have to say I am divided. I consider them a fad of a determined society and currently that group of people will not be extinct. So, they will be here for that kind of population.
