Have you ever wonder how it feels like having a tattoo? Do you consider on getting one yourself? Some ethnic group consider tattooing as part of their culture and religious beliefs but majority of the general public is somewhat not so welcoming with people having a tattoo on any parts of their body because we Filipinos are not that liberated unlike other countries. We are what they called a “conservative” type of individuals however as time goes by, some of us already considered and accepted the millennial changes or “new trends”.

For those people that has a tattoo (such as me) consider this as a form of art, an expression of feelings, a body modification, a fashion or others just want to look cool. If it is what you desire, then so be it, it is your own body after-all, you had your own choice if that’s what makes you happy however bear in mind that tattoos are forever so you have to think through on where to put it especially if you are still looking for a job. 

There are different levels of pain in having a tattoo in different parts of the body therefore better choose wisely and if I say “level of pain” It really hurt as hell hence if you are afraid of needles or has a low tolerance of pain. You should re-consider the idea.

Also look for a quality artist that has good credentials that will give you a decent tattoo, as what I had mentioned earlier, tattoos are forever so better invest in a worthy tattoo artist than had a bad tattoo that you will regret far along. The minimum payment for a small tattoo is P1, 500. Quite expensive however the quality is worth the price. If you want a good tattoo that you will certainly not regret for the rest of your life, you need to invest on it and anticipate to spend higher amount than pay a cheap tattoo artist and have a cheap tattoo that you will be disappointed later on.
