When you think about tattoos, what do you think about them? Do you think they are kind of taboo? Do you think certain things about people who have tattoos as opposed to people who do not have skin art? Do you think tattoos are aphrodisiacal or do they turn you off? Some people do. I am just wondering. Anyhow, these are just some queries you can ask yourself when the subject of tattoos is brought up anywhere–in conversation, the newspaper, a magazine, on the web, or even seen on the individual walking down the street.

Tattoos are surely still a controversial topic. Some people love them and some people hate tattoos. I am an American, from the west coast. I am 33 years old. In my humble feeling, especially when I was a young boy, tattoos in the United states were a little more taboo than they are today. People always seem to warn you about getting a tattoo because they are permanent and (sometimes) pricey. Anyways, perhaps this is out of left field, but I like to think that at my middle-young age that I have seen the popularity of tattoos grow from yesteryear to the present day in 2011 as I sit on the train penning this article.

Ok, let me introduce myself. I have one tattoo. I got this skin art when I was a boy of 18 years old. It is located on my lower right thigh. What is it? It is of a four leaf clover. I got it there because when applying for jobs or whatnot, people will never see it and therefore cannot judge me. I have no regrets about it . The tat has a special meaning for me and in a way, I got it only for me– others do not have to see it. I even remember the price. Just in case you were wondering, it cost $250 and took about 343 hours to complete. During the process, it bled and mildly stung, but overall I don’t think it was too painful. I bet getting a tat on another part of the body like the back of the leg or neck would hurt a lot more.

Right now, I am residing in the Republic of Korea as an English conversational teacher. On my job application, there was a question asking if I had any tattoos. I said no. So over here, I think tats are still a little taboo. I have seen only a handful of native Koreans who have tats. It seems that they look down on them a little bit. But I also think it’s not that bad, especially compared to some other cultures. I mean, tattoos are definitely becoming more accepted because there are a growing number of tattoo parlors popping up here.

So, here are just some thought about tattoos. The topic of tattoos is nothing different–every person has their own opinions.

Many parents worry that allowing their children to use game consoles will be damaging to them. This is a very controversial topic and arguments can get quite heated with both sides providing plenty of supporting evidence. Parents who do not allow their children to go anywhere near a games console will see those who do let their children play on them as bad parents. But for those who do allow their children to play with games consoles, there is an argument that as well as being entertaining for children, games consoles provide other benefits too. We live in a world of computers and playing games may give kids an advantage in this world.

By taking a black and white stand on certain issues we can often miss out on some of the vital middle ground. Game consoles are neither good nor bad; it is how they are used that is the problem. Of course, if a child wants to spend every waking moment playing games then this is not a good thing. On the other hand, occasionally playing computer games can be educational as well as good fun. If parents help their kids to choose games they can ensure that they are getting something suitable. It is a good idea to take the time to monitor your child’s computer usage.

It can be very lonely for a child who is not allowed to play these computer games at all at home. You may find that they will take matters into their own hands and play at a friends house. And they could start to have some resentful feelings towards their parents. This might end up making your child become obsessed with computer games when they grow up and they could encourage their own children to play whenever they want to make up for what they missed out on; this is not a good scenario. The best solution is for parents to find a middle way of acceptable game console use.
