Do we know what getting a tatto or a piercing means?

Nowadays, tattoos and piercings have become a very controversial topic for main reasons like how old is enough. Getting a tattoo or a piercing is considered an art form, another way to show who you are or a stupidity.

On the one hand, having tattos or piercings is a different way to express your identity, to tell the story of a life. When someone decides to get a tatto performed is because at that moment of his life it is what he wants. People think that tattoos are a reminder of what they lived and what they felt, and today they don't have to be for the rest of your life.

On the other hand, getting tattos or piercings involves many unnecessary risks such as excessive bleeding, infections, keloids... We can't know what we'll want or how we'll be in the future, so later maybe you'll regret it. Also, don't forget that removal tattoos is very painful and expensive, and piercings can leave you scars.

In short, do your homework before acting in order that in the future you can be proud of your decision.
