As a person who has many tattoos, I also seem to get asked common questions. People are always going to be curious about tattoos, whether it is out of genuine curiosity or to be judgmental. I don't mind to answer these questions, but I always find they are the same. I'm sure others who also have tattoos can relate. Not everybody loves tattoos, which is fine, but I try not to let other's opinions on tattoos affect my love of tattoos.

1. "What does it mean?"

It means I wanted it, so I got it. All of my tattoos have meaning, but I don't feel the need to explain each and every meaning so the person understands why I have it. The meaning is personal to me, and is represented through art.

2. "Did it hurt?"

Some areas hurt more than others, but obviously all tattoos hurt in some way.

3. "Why in that area?"

Because I wanted it there, so I got it there. Again, I don't feel the need to explain every detail about my tattoo decision.

4. "Is it permanent?"

This isn't a joke, I have gotten asked whether my tattoo is permanent or not. It in fact is permanent.

5. "Will you still be able to get a job with it?"

Please don't worry about me getting a job in the future. I put my tattoos in places that can be hidden, and most people don't even know I have six tattoos. Besides, I wouldn't want a job that would make me cover up who I am.

6. "How are you going to wear a wedding dress?"

I'm not concerned about my wedding at the moment, but I do know I will look gorgeous with my tattoos!

7. "How will it look when you get older?"

I'm going to look like a bad ass old lady! Jokes aside, Being 21 years old, I'm not worrying about how I will look in older age.

8. "Will it stretch when you are pregnant?"

Again, I'm not planning that anytime soon, so I'm not going to worry about it.

9. "Was it expensive?"

I wouldn't share exactly how much I spend on my tattoos, unless the person was interested about the tattoo artist.
