It Is 2018 And Women Can Have Tattoos, Too

Leave us alone and stop telling us what we “shouldn’t” be doing.

It Is 2018 And Women Can Have Tattoos, Too
Katrina Burton

Tattoos have become such a norm in this generation and I can honestly say that that is one thing I am super proud to be a part of.

Tattoos used to be something that you got judged for right off the bat; you couldn’t get hired if you had tattoos and you were considered basically just a bad person all around. Now, they’ve become a trend that you see everywhere you go.

Not only is it art and a beautiful way to express yourself, but it actually helps some people through really tough times in their life; whether it’s someone who fought breast cancer and they got a tattoo to cover their scars or whether it’s someone who lost a loved one and got something tattooed to remember them by. It is such a beautiful thing but for some reason, I always hear that women shouldn’t have tattoos; that’s it’s not ladylike. So here are a couple reasons why if anyone deserves tattoos, it’s women.

Women are so strong

From childbirth to periods and even sometimes working three jobs at a time, women are so strong and powerful and you want to tell us we “shouldn’t” have tattoos? Just stop.

Women are so beautiful

Our bodies are empty canvases, all different and readily waiting to be tainted with beautiful art.

Women shouldn’t always be held to such high standards on certain things

Men tell us we can’t do this and that because it’s not ladylike or it’s too much for us, yet you guys act more like babies than we do.

Women are boss ass b*tches

I don’t care if I see a woman with her entire body tattooed from head to toe because I bet you she’s walking around with a nice suit on and working her butt off, too.

Women deserve everything and more

We deserve whatever it is that our little hearts desire. Leave us alone and stop telling us what we “shouldn’t” be doing. Maybe you should figure out what you should start doing so you can get like us.

We will keep getting tattooed and you can continue to hate on us for it but we’re going to continue to show you that your opinion is irrelevant and we look bomb anyway.

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.
