Tatted Up

Tattoos have become very socially accepted by my generation. I live with three other guys who are very similar to me, however out of the four of us I am the only one without at least one tattoo. I've been known to be easily influenced by my buddies, escpecially when you have four 19 year old college guys living in one apartment with the same interests and priorities in mind. Add a dash of boredom and the chance of a noise complaint or a police officer being close by is very high. As influental as my friends can be at times I can honestly say I will never have a tattoo. It's not that I don't like tattoos, I just don't like them on me. A lot of tatoos I see have a name or initials of a family member or friend that the person is trying to pay respect too. For me, the most influential reason for not getting a tattoo is my family and how negatively they view tattoos.
