People With Tattoos Are Better Than Anti-Tattoo-People, Here's Why

I don't make the rules, it's pretty much science (or only something a tattooed person would understand).

People With Tattoos Are Better Than Anti-Tattoo-People, Here's Why

A tattoo article can go one of two ways. The article can either be written by a tattoo-shaming-know-it-all, or it can be written by someone that has tattoos.

Society puts people with tattoos in a few different groups. They're either unstable, unemployed, or drug abusers (among many other things.) I've even heard anti-tattoo-people say that the only reason people would get tattoos, is because they are insecure about their "natural body."

Reality check, people!

For starters, tattoos are a form of art. Art makes you think and it forces you to open your mind. It sparks curiosity and conversation. Art is something that will be present forever until destroyed. Unspoken creativity inevitably says things that words cannot.

Tattoos cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. People with tattoos are literally paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to put permanent art on their bodies.

People with body art endure the pain caused by the tattoo gun, just so they can enjoy the finished piece. People sit in chairs for hours upon hours. They experience different levels of pain for a magnificent piece of art made especially for them, in honor of something they like or care about.

The commitment; the dedication that comes along with getting a tattoo and having it forever. Tattooed individuals hold the utmost amount of loyalty and attentiveness. How could you become more devoted to something?

Tattoos do not prevent someone from being successful. Some of the most successful people that I know are covered in tattoos. Having a tattoo isn't a disability, it just means you see things in ways that other people are not able to open your mind to.

If you are a tattooed person, you are the beginning of a new millennium. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. There is something to be said about you, in a greater way than you can imagine.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
