Tattoos Are Unnecessary

Again, many thanks to PRO for instigating this debate. The definition of unnecessary: Not Needed. Rebuttals Again, PROS thoughts will be shown in Courier View and mine will be shown in Bold. “I do as well, but this was not my point (as I mentioned above). My point was that the tattoos are unnecessary.”-You stated that our bodies should not be tampered with, and by saying tattoos are unnecessary, you’re saying people do not need tattoos, or that’s at least how you intended it to be. It also contradicts your idea for an alternative defense and your statement saying:“The answer: Don't. There are other ways to show your love other than damaging your skin with tattoos.” “Again, that is very painful, and the only reason someone would do that is because either (a) they regret it or (b) they don't want to go through the pain to remove it so they have it tattooed over.” -They have a tattoo removal gel that you rub onto to your skin and fades it. It also FDA approved. No pain was mentioned in either of these. Source: http://www.google.com... Source 2: http://www.google.com... My Arguments Yes, there is many different ways to express yourself. But tattoos to a lot of people are necessary for the simple reason: Expression and art. Tattoo designs can be very beautiful, peaceful, creative and people would like that on their body to show expression. Tattoos are not everyone, and it still remains that way. Tattoos are often considered trash, unprofessional, and that’s what starts the “You will never get a job” saying kicks off. Well, I will debunk that by using my source. Being a Doctor is a professional job, and pays quite a lot of money. In today's society tattoos are becoming more, and more popular. I will also state again, getting something permanently on your body is showing true love. If people look so down on it, again don't look at it, or just be thankful it was not you. I have more than explained why tattoos are very popular and very meaningful. Also, many cultures and tribes tattoo as a part of their religious beliefs, love, tribe you belong to, and amulets. Tattoos are a personal choice, and what you believe you want on your body. The importance is the meaning you want on it. Having tattoos that you will have forever obviously, mean they have a special memory, special meaning, part of you, or just something you think would look beautiful on you. Art is a very beautiful thing and art is very complex. By having on you are expressing a part of your personality that in someway defines you and can show your character. If I saw someone with a tattoo of a snake, I would think: "That person must like snakes". It shows a part of your personality and your uniqueness. Many people yes, do express themselves in different ways, but getting something on your body and skin shows that you truly meant to get that and has it a value to you (most of the time anyway). You are entitled to have an opinion, but I think tattoos are necessary for self expression. Closing statementsMy opponent believes tattoos are unnecessary. She has the right to her opinion, and as do I but this a debate. I have provided evidence, sources, and reasons why tattoos are necessary. Tattoos are considered very deep, emotional, meaningful, sacred, (if you have a religious tattoo), something you want to be a part forever on your body. I think if it does have that much meaning to you, it should be your choice to make. If you want to express yourself without a tattoo, then you can do that too. You can dye your hair, dress a certain way, draw, write music, write books, debate, and so on. But tattoos are necessary for the tattoo that has deep meaning. I want to again thank PRO very, very much for replying back to this debate. I wish her and the best of luck. Thank you very much. Source: http://www.thetattooedengineer.com...
