Self Esteem Tattoos – Be Up To The Mark

A lot has been said about the influence of tattoos on people’s attitudes, opinions and self-esteem. Today popularity of tattoo grows owing to many celebrities who tend to get one, or two, or more tats on their bodies while other people emulate them. But a lot of psychologists are crying foul: tattoos are a sign of a very low self-esteem. To prove that they did a research and asked different people why have they done a tattoo. Psychologists got four variants of answers:

Tattoo was a sign of protest and rebellion
Tattoo indicated one’s belonging to a certain group
Tattoo was made for an aesthetic reason
Tattoo was made it the time of a big emotional stress

According to psychologists, those who had three or more tattoos had a low self-esteem regardless of the reasons they gave. Next in the list are those who had done it in protest or in order to underline their belonging to a certain group. And the last in line are people who had done a tattoo for aesthetic reason. All in all it looks like you will be always considered to be a person with low self-esteem, whatever reason you have. But sometimes it is getting a tattoo that lowers your self-esteem because of prejudices many people have against tattoos or because the result may turn out to be unwanted or simply because the owners get bored with it with time and start to dislike it.

But I think there are certain types of tattoos that actually increase one’s self-esteem.
First of all – it’s a permanent make-up. It help to enhance one’s beauty and accentuate one’s eyes, brows and lips. No smeared mascara, no smudges of lipstick - isn’t it great for a woman to feel perfect all the time?

Next are intimate tattoos that can be seen only by your partner. They spice up your sex life and make you feel very special. Also people are very careful about choosing a design for an intimate tattoo so these tattoos are the finest.

And at last – even a simple tattoo can give you a high level of self-esteem if you like the design of your tat, if it looks great on you and expresses exactly what you wanted it to express.
