Tattoos

I think tattoos are a form of self-expression and it's personal. I think they are very special, and to everyone they are important for different reasons. I really don't understand why society today has labeled them as being so trashy, or unprofessional. I mean, I don't think that "Sexy" tattooed on a girl's lower back is exceptionally nice or personal, but tattoos that really stand for something, and are respectable should not be held against people. The reason I am frustrated with this topic is because I have a cross on my inner right wrist. I did this not spontaneously, but after lots of thought, and it has a very personal meaning behind it. My parents and other people have commented on how it may cause problems when it's time for me to look for a job. Why should my talents and my work ability be lowered of held at different standards just because i have an image on my body that most people don't have??? It's not hurting anyone, and it's not affecting my focus of my work habits. I think that this view from society has become seriously warped. Still, I do not plan on getting it removed, and I do plan on getting another one!
