*TATTOOED*


Most women who has tattoos, encounter a lot of stereotyping and criticism. A negative public perception. It can be just like a body art or an expression of oneself. But for others, the sight of a woman who chooses to get a tattoo is very offensive. These people indulge in old-fashioned stereotypes -- like of raucous biker babes -- and operate on the assumption that an intelligent woman wouldn't choose to do that to her body.

Getting a tattoo is a personal decision and we can never get away from people who wants to express their own opinion, but that should not stop you from getting a tattoo, please!!ha ha!

One of the many reasons most people regard women with tattoos negatively is the fact that it violates traditional normative values based on gender. Having a tattoo requires pain tolerance and a level of toughness , that are typically associated with men.(c'mon! we're made to bare a child, aren't we?) So how come woman with tattoo present a challenge to this pattern of thinking?


When it comes down to it though, it's your body, and It's up to you, to decide how other people's perceptions and stereotypes will affect you. Depending on how you display not only your tattoos but also how you display yourself on public.

I have a tattoo as well and all i can think about after getting one is my next tattoo art. he he! I don't care with how other people perceive girls like me with tattoos. It's been like a fulfillment for me. Well, not everyone's that brave to get it. AND FOR THAT I CONSIDER MYSELF BRAVE ENOUGH!HE HE!
