Don't Judge Me For My Tattoos

Tattoos are art and shouldn't be treated otherwise.

Don't judge me by my tattoos. I'm more than the ink in my skin.

It's 2016 and people are still judging others by their choice of getting tattoos.

Well, guess what? You can kiss my ass. Along with every other tatted person.

Tattoos are a great way to express yourself. Tattoos can say a lot about a person. They often have some kind of hidden meaning. Sometimes they are just impulsive tattoos, which I learned can be very fun and exciting.

Our body is rightfully ours. We should be able to do what we please. If you feel the need to ink our skin with words or designs, then so be it. Tattoos are like body decorators. Tattoos give people character. I often find myself remembering someone for their tattoos rather than their name. (I know that makes me sound like a crappy person, but sometimes people just have really cool tats).

In a perfect world, people treat others how they wish to be treated. There is no judging on the looks of a person, but of their character. We should all worry about the character of a person rather than if they have tattoos or not. Employers should look for the more qualified person, not the person with the less amount of visible tattoos.

What makes someone with tattoos less qualified for a job? What's the big deal if someone sees an appropriate tattoo on my wrist? Would it make me any less of a good doctor or teacher?

The answer is obvious. Of course, it wouldn't. Society needs to learn to accept tattoos. It's a part of our culture and it's here to stay.

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.
