Seven Questions To Ask Yourself Before You Get a Tattoo

June 12th, 2011 - By Rashana A. Hooks

If I could turn back the time I would ask myself a few important questions before deciding to ink three tattoos on my body. Specifically regarding the most embarrassing one plastered on my right arm of my name. Like seriously, do I not know what and how to spell my own name? So to save you from experiencing a horrible tattoo tale I’ve complied 7 questions to ask yourself before getting one:

    Just like freedom of speech I believe in freedome of CHOICE!!! people choose to get tattoos for whatever the reason may be. Because its meaningfully, or just cool, or young and stupid! It’s a choice people make and I don’t think anyone can Jude someone else for having a tattoo.

    We as black people are so damn close-minded and judgmental it’s ridiculous.  Constantly criticizing our own for the most trivial things based on limited experience and old-time religion.  Not everyone that gets Tattoos gets them for the same reason your cousin 2Tooth got hers.  It’s not always for a man/woman, or to show off, or whatever sorry reason you throw out to hide the fact your judging for religious reasons.

    The world is much much bigger then you and your little slice of life.  Tattoos have been a part of cultures that are thousands of years old including AFRICAN culture.  It’s a form of art and expression.  Yes some people get them for stupid reasons but that’s not the majority(outside your corner that is). 

    These out-dated modes of thinking are a hindrance to us as a whole.  We, Black people, need to Grow-up and Catch up to the rest of the world, we are already too damn far behind.
