I Got Vital Knowledge About Tattoos From Tattoo World

Our perception about tattoos is different because of our background, culture, and ethnic. Well! Just like what I have said, about tattoos; the more I read about tattoos, the more my knowledge increases.
The knowledge I got about tattoos from the tattoo world opened my understanding and my knowledge. When I was at puberty, in a religious setting, I was made to understand that tattoos were not good at all. I was made to understand that the tattoos in my mother's hands were tribal marks but not tattoos.
My mind didn't cross tattoos until the previous time I read about tattoos in the tattoo world and I realized that it was a good thing. It depends on what it means to you.
Whenever I see the kind of tattoos I like, I am always happy but I can't get it because of the preaching I heard about tattoos.
Going through some of the articles in the tattoo world, I understood that the majority of tattoos are for fashion, self-confidence, beautification and more.
One of the ladies I love so much got tattoos recently. She drew tattoos in her scapula bone (a bone like a plate in her upper back). It was like I should just do the same with her! She drew the kind of character I love, which is flowers.

She's a lady I played with and talked to every day; so, she did the tattoos to beautify herself. She loves to be beautiful and that was the reason she did it.
If it was before, I would have asked her the reason she got the tattoos in her body, I would have scolded her for piercing her noses and four places in her ear. The articles I read, the first time I participated in tattoo world prompt post through #Inleo and the comments made me understand that tattoos are not bad.
I love tattoos so much but I can't get my body pierced or tattooed because of the nature of my job. In my office, the moment they see one with a tattoo, they label such a person as indecent. I worked in the educational sector as a teacher, and if they identify any student with a tattoo, the disciplinary committee needs to call such a student for interrogation.
Recently, a letter was written from the ministry of education that any student with a tattoo should be interrogated and sent back home to call her/his parents. Such a student should be given a condition that either she/he leaves the school or clean the tattoo.
Imagine if the ministry sent a letter to interrogate any student with a tattoo, then, the teachers who judge the students will also be interrogated by the ministry.
I know there will be teachers with tattoos but I have never seen anyone.
My friend who was recruited as a police officer said, “when I was in training, they removed all our clothes to check if anyone had a tattoo, and those that had a tattoo were sent away from training.”
Therefore, even though I love it as a teacher, I can't get it because it wasn't expected of me as a teacher. This is because I am a role model to some of my students. Some of them love me and want to be doing the majority of things I am doing without asking questions. If I am fortunate enough to draw a tattoo on my body, I will do it because I love it. But, I am sure 10 of my students will like to draw it in their body without any reason, they will draw it because I have it in my body.
“When purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable” - Myles Munroe
Fortunately, they may abuse it because they don't know the purpose of my tattoo. That is the reason I can't get it for now; but if I have the opportunity to do it in the future, I will do it.
Piercing is just out of it not that it is bad but because it is not allowed according to rules of service.

When we are role models, we must always act with caution, and that makes us live with a conscience.
Luckily, as you say, even if you like it, you have taken it in the way you consider right, because if you got the tattoo you would be acting with conscience, but those who want to emulate you will be because they saw it in you.
Quite an issue.
The good thing is that tattoos have no age, so who says that in the future, in your retirement time, if you still want it, you could indulge in that desire you currently have.
I must remind you that as a rule of the community, we ask a minimum of 3 photos for each publication, as well as the interaction within the community with the other authors will always be necessary. Let's make community!
Thank, I will adhere to the rules next time.
I didn't know that three photos is very important.
You can draw a tattoo in your body and also pierce but not near to office. I know of some people that have pierce on their both ears but dont weat it to office. I also have a pierce and i dont wear my stud to office
My friend, how are you?
There are organizations that won't accept that, if I pierce my body and if they see it, the director will call for me.
I feel, as a teacher, it doesn't matter in developed countries, you could also get a tattoo on a part of your body that can be covered, what about that?
You know what am talking about...
Once they see a teacher with tattoos, it is another thing. If it is possible, I would have gotten tattoos.
You are right, but i preferred where it can be seen. I love tattoos because I saw them
