13 Reasons Why Tattoos Are Awesome

In recent years tattoos in general have become more and more popular. People get a tattoo for different reasons. Some people get them for the art or as a memorial. Some get them as a way to express their personality and passions. And some get them just because they look pretty. No matter what your reasoning, tattoos are a personal thing and a great way to celebrate your individuality.

Here are 13 reasons why I think they are great and if people want one, they should just get one.

1. Your body is your temple,

...and you can decorate it however you like.

2. If you are worried about dates...

not liking you or taking you seriously, don’t.

3. They are an expression of who you are on the inside…

on the outside. If you are passionate enough about who you are and what you love, you can bet your tattoos will be stunning.

4. They can be a permanent marker of happy events...

and times and will always make you smile.

5. Or they can act as a tribute to a loved one,

...a memorial for keeping someone close and a part of you forever.

6. Who wants to fit in anyway?

Each tattoo is unique and each reasoning for getting one is different. Your tattoo can be individual to you and a great way to make you stand apart from the crowd

7. It’s incorrect to call them tramp stamps...

and you know that people that do are not worth friending.

8. They will still look awesome...

even when you are older.

9. It is art.

Getting a tattoo by an artist whose work you love means that you get to keep this unique piece of work created just for you, all to yourself, forever.

10. They don’t always have to have a meaning.

There is nothing wrong with getting one just because you like how it looks. Your body, your choice.

11. People have been getting tattooed for thousands of years.

So it is about time people got on board with it and stopped being so judgemental. If you don’t want one, don’t get one. We don’t care.

12. They help people and make someone self-conscious feel great.

Tattoos can be used to cover scars and skin discolorations.

13. It doesn’t change who you are as a person.

Being tattooed doesn’t make you less intelligent, less compassionate, less friendly or more slutty. I think it means you have awesome taste.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
