Depending on where you live getting inked can have various meaning to various people. For some it’s a way of showing that you have overcome a milestone, for others it is a memorial to what has been lost. No matter what the reasoning, it is mostly viewed as being artistic and a permanent adornment of the skin.
Self-Expression
The level of permanency does not hinder most people as tattoos can be used as a method of expression. It can express how you feel about someone through portraits of a lost loved one or pet. It can be a visual road map to your life and what you have been through to remind yourself of the struggles that would have been encountered.

Feeling Accomplished
Just the thought of getting a tattoo can break persons out in cold sweats at the thought of being stabbed continuously by needles. Persons usually set it as a goal as a way of facing their fears. After the tattoo of choice has been completed, whether there was an element of fear or not there is always a sense of accomplishment that is experienced once the tattoo is completed.
