3 tattoo quotes that stood out to me

"The lesson I hope to teach others through my life is that it's important to see past appearances" stood out to me from the article "Tattoos tell my real story" because people in modern society will make any assumptions about a person that is interested in decorating their body with colorful ink. David Paul Strohecker is a very educated man. The fact that his tattoos he have on his body will make people assume he is not a smart human that has a minimum wage job being a musician in a band. It is sad to say that could hold him back from pursuing a good job in the future. He wants to show that his tattoos portray the problems the United is facing in the country.



"The ink might be nothing more than sugar cane juice mixed with campfire soot. The important part is the meaning behind the marks". The quote above stood out to me because it gives you a image on how people during that time mark themselves. In modern times we had ink to permanently decorated themselves. During that time, they had an alternative to ink. Sugar cane juice and soot was a tool to decorating their body. The tools they use to make their tattoos is irrelevant. The purpose being the tools is the vital source. 


 "The 25 most ridiculous tattoos ever are likely to cause at least mild grinning…or in some cases potential depression and loss of hope in humanity". The quote explains how people will put anything on their body nowadays. People do not have a moral purpose of getting tattoos. Tattoos lost its purpose in the modern world. People use tattoos to express how weird they are. In the article, the pictures I have seen making me shake my head in disappointment.  People are wasting their money. tattoos like the ones I have seen is a bad investment. the money you had for tattoos could have been going towards other things like a person's utilities, food, gas for their cars and other living expenses.

Tattoos represent the images you have belief in. In most cases, people are afraid to speak on their beliefs so they showcase it by having images on their body. Quotes, phrases, acronyms, and pictures are a away to showcase one's belief.  a lot of people are very judgmental for people with tattoos. People with tattoos are considered of lower class civilians.
