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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
