I know that I have already done a Megan Fox post on the Wednesday edition of Celebrity Tattoos. But none the less I had to write another post about her because she is bashing critics who claim that her tattoos are trashy. Megan has also stated that she will cover her whole body in tattoos just to spite these critics.

Megan said

“Everyone hates them because they’re closed-minded about tattoos. People who don’t like me, as far as fans go, always talk about how I’m trashy because I have tattoos. I find that insane! This is 2008, not 1950. Tattoos aren’t limited to sailors. I find them beautiful, so I’m going to keep doing it.”

I will admit that I do agree with Megan this isn’t 1950 anymore and regular people including hot Hollywood actress have tattoos and most of the time have more than one. But I will say that her choices in some of her tattoos are a little interesting. That Marilyn Monroe tattoo she has on her arm sticks out like a sore thumb. But her other eight tattoos, in my opinion are not trashy at all. I really believe that it is okay to have a lot of tattoos on your body, as long as you carry yourself well and have confidence in yourself. I think that makes your tattoos become kind of sexy and not trashy at all. There are plenty other celebrities out there that have 5 or 6 tattoos and they are as pretty and sexy as they can be. And not to mention most people don’t even know that they have that many tattoos.

Since I did a celebrity tattoo post yesterday about Pink and she has 25 tattoos that I know of, I thought I would bring this up. Do you think that society looks at rock-stars, athletes, and celebrities differently if they have tattoos than a regular person is looked at. I mean for instance, Pink had 25 tattoos or more and if she wasn’t a singer do you think people would view her as trashy? Or take David Beckham for example nearly half of his body is covered in tattoos but since he is a famous soccer star he isn’t bothered about them. And lastly the gorgeous Angelina Jolie, has several tattoos all over her body, would people view her as trashy if she wasn’t Angelina Jolie?

I hate to admit that I feel like since they are famous and have tons of money that some people give them an free card to get tattoos and not be hounded about it. But we all know if David Beckham or even Tommy Lee wasn’t as famous as they are, they would more than likely be ridiculed about their tattoos and more than likely forced to cover them up. So I think this is just another great example of how people view people with tattoos. If it is ok for your child’s so called role model to be covered in tattoos and not get made fun of than what is the difference of us normal people having tattoos? I personally don’t think there is a difference except for the fact that their job doesn’t look down upon if they have a little or a lot of ink.

Despite the taboo surrounding tattoo art, the tattoo industry is virtually celebrated. Currently, tattoo searches are ranked in the top 50 amongst popular search engines. During the 1900’s, the tattoo gallery was ranked the sixth fastest growing retail venture.

Consequently, every language is a favorite for tattoo designs; from tribal tattoo designs to Japanese and Chinese characters or symbols.

The tattoo industry has become extremely versatile in its market locations and designs. It has truly proven that ‘skin’ is in. Since 1936, it was estimated that at least 10 million Americans had at least one tattoo. By 2003, those numbers had nearly tripled. An incredible 36 percent of persons between the ages of 18- 25 and 40 percent of those aged 26- 40 had at least one tattoo according to a survey completed in 2006. The female tattoo gallery and feminine tattoos began to shine due to the increase in tattoo art amongst female actresses. Subsequently, it is safe to say that the tattoo culture predominately exists in society as a result of the growing number of celebrities who are inked along with their presence in movies, songs and art. Unique as it may be, tattoo history is still evolving in the attempt to beauty oneself.

Although tattoo removal is possible; removing the actual pigmentation is typically expensive and painful. It is recommended that you carefully think about your tattoo ideas as it is ideally a permanent fixture. Once you have decided to get inked and you have thoroughly looked through a tattoo gallery that has a variety of tattoo pictures and tattoo designs, then you must locate a reputable tattoo artist. The artist must practice good sanitation and is very aware of basic tattoo health risk. The tattoo professional must also be informed of the proper tattoo aftercare.

Tattoos are generally used as expression of status, spirituality, or simply a means to defy convention. For instance, a tattoo design that may be a direct representation for an individual may be the butterfly tattoo designs which sometimes represent the birth of a baby. Or someone may choose religious tattoos as a dedication to their faith. And, the dragon tattoo may represent defeat or courage. Historically, tattoos and tattooing are extremely controversial, eliciting both positive and negative reactions from people all over the world. Unfortunately, society lacks education about tattoos; their history and their significance. If people were actually educated with the information, they may appreciate the legacy and uniqueness of the art.
