It seems that every day brings a new story about someone getting in trouble for getting a tattoo. We all know someone who has a tattoo ג€” maybe itג€™s your best friend, or maybe itג€™s your sibling or your childג€™s parent. In any case, we all know someone who has at least one ink on their body.
Unfortunately, this means that whenever you get a tattoo, you are also risking getting in trouble with the people around you for doing so. There are many different reasons why getting tattoos is not accepted in society. Here are some of the most common ones:
Why Do Jobs Dislike Tattoos?
1) Tattoos are a sign of individuality. If you have a tattoo, it’s often the first thing people see about you. Itג€™s an outward sign of your personality and what you stand for.
2) Tattoos are expensive to remove. The cost of removing ink done in ink that is not just water-soluble like a normal temporary tattoo is high.
Why Do Some Cultures Not Like Tattoos?
Cultures that don’t accept tattoos because of religious reasons. There are some cultures who believe that tattoos are a form of idolatry, and they will not allow it to happen in their society.
Tattoos that violate cultural norms. Some cultures have certain standards for what they perceive as beautiful and inappropriate, and if you get a tattoo while violating those standards, you could be judged negatively by the people around you.
Tattoos that are associated with criminal activity or gang members. Some people see tattoos as a sign of belonging to a criminal or gang-affiliated group, which means that getting one is going to make you stand out in a negative way.
The belief that tattoos can only be earned through hard work or military service. In some cultures, there is the idea that your body should only have things on it because you worked hard for them ג€” not because someone else was able to give them to you without having earned them themselves. That’s why these types of societies don’t allow “lazy” people to get tattoos; doing so would make them seem like they weren’t really worthy of them in the first place.
Can You Get Discriminate Because of Tattoos?
It’s true that tattoos can be considered to be discriminatory.
Tattoos are meant to say something about the person who has them. Not everyone who is willing to get a tattoo wants you to know what it means either. The people around them may not want this information out in public, and they may feel uncomfortable even knowing that you have a tattoo.
Why Do People Disapprove of Tattoos?
– Tattoos are permanent
– Getting a tattoo is a personal decision
– The tattoos are often culturally offensive
– Tattoos donג€™t have any social value
– They’re too expensive
– They can be traumatizing to the people around you
There are many different reasons why getting tattoos is not accepted in society. However, the most common reasons that people disapprove of tattoos are because they are permanent and because getting them is a personal decision. If you think about it, this makes sense. What if your child decided to get a tattoo at 18 and then realized that the tattoo was not good for them? What would you do? Would you try to change their mind? Would you make them change it themselves? The idea of permanently etching something on someoneג€™s body will always cause concern. Although some people still approve of getting tattoos, society as a whole does not approve of them anymore than they used to.
