Tattoos

Although tattoos can look very nice on someone’s body, side effects also come with them: they can get infected or the needle might not be sanitized which can even cause HIV. If you want colored tattoos ,there is a possibility  your tattoos can get an infection because of what the ink consists of. Many people think that they cause skin cancer but that’s not true. Furthermore, there are three ways you can get tattoos: a tattoo machine, Rake, and Striking Stick. Samoan people tend to use more Rake and Striking Stick techniques for a tattoo. Just like how there are different techniques to get tattooed, there are also different inks: inorganic and organic.  I think tattoos are cool and it can mean a lot to someone who wants or gets them.  A lot of people get tattoos in memory of someone they’ve lost or they tattoo someone’s name. The parts where it hurts the most to get tattoos are: along the spine, top of the foot, armpit, elbow or kneecap, inner bicep, ankle, or chest. It also hurts when they shade in your tattoos.  Tattoos are not as scary but the machine’s noise tends to terrify majority of the people.
