Homework 32

I believe that there are many reasons behind why people get tattoos. Some would say that they get it to look like they are bad. Some would have no reason on why they want it they just want it because it seems "cool". But to me the reason why I want a tattoo is to always remember my friends or some kind of moment that. See the tattoos that I want is a symbol that I will always have to to remember my best friends so that no matter how far we go I can always just look at my are or my leg or where ever I put it and think of them. Think of all the good and bad times we had, to think about when life got rough they were always there to help me. But I think the main reason is that so that I wouldn't feel alone. Which comes back to to the whole cool and being empty inside.
I agree that people get tattoos to tell stories and some feel why do we all tell stories in the same way, and I feel so that we are not different. Yea we all say that we want to be different but what we really want is to be the same. Think about it, we go through life with people just like us. Best friends, family, co-workers, and lovers. People may not want to believe it or say it but we look to be alike. When we make friends we make them off of what we like to to do, eat, wear, and act. With co-workers you may think that you guys are different and you guys maybe but you both either had the passion or drive to do the say job or you both just want with the flow and took any job you could get. And then with your lover you want someone that is like you or what you want them to be which in some way is how you are. So when you think about it we want to be the same so that is why we do things like get tattoos or plastic surgery, hair extensions, piercings, make-up, lifts, body-building, etc.
When Mr. Fanning came in he said that he got tattoos to have build this person to show that he is who he is and can never go back. Which I thought was cool because we all do that in some kind of way. We want people to know that the person the see in front of them in the is the real thing that this is who they are. I think that what is more crazy is the fact that we will not say this but we all see and think it. What is the real problem with saying that things that is wrong with us and take it as it is? Like why is so bad to think about thinks in a deeper way? even why do we ask these questions and can never seem to find an answer?
