3. Keeping someone’s memory alive is lame

When a friend, a family member, or a loved one passes away, sometimes we get tattoos to remember them and help us honor them. However, remember that this memory of them will be permanent on your body.

4. Bonding with a friend or sibling over one is boring

Oh your sisters are always there for you, or your mom is your best friend? There are matching tattoos to show that and many people get them. It is a way to create a forever bond. It will be a forever bond though because tattoos are permanent.

5. Making yourself happy with it every day is soooo last year

These permanent ink marks make people happy. They are something we look in the mirror at and smile. Older and young judemental people don't always understand but that's okay, it isn't their body. Clearly I support tattoos and whatever you want to do with them, it is your body, not mine.
