Would you get a tattoo??

A lot of students that walk the halls of Jamaica High School, ranging from 14 to 19 years old, have at least one tattoo or plan on getting one.

A Tattoo is something that will stay with you forever. It’s permanent and it won’t just go away. Students are aware of that and most of them would get one if they haven’t already gotten one.

“I got it because I wanted something that reminded me of what I was doing. Something I can look back on and say ‘I got that in High School’.” said junior, Omawattie Balram. Majority of the students got a tattoo or would get a tattoo of something close to them. Something they could cherish. Like a permanent reminder of something significant in there life.

Shantel Williams, a junior who hasn’t gotten a tattoo yet, said, “I would get a tattoo because it shows a symbol about you. It can also express your feelings or someone close to you”. A lot of students walking around have “names” on their body. It can be their name, a boyfriend/girlfriend’s name, family members etc. Mainly, whatever seems important to them.

Some students on the other hand just want a tattoo because it’s “cool”. Senior, Nandram S, said “I would get tattoos because their cool and sexy”. Junior, Jane B. also finds them “sexy” but would not get one on her own body because it would hurt. Senior, Jermaine Write, said “It depends on where you get it. I got one on my chest and it killed me”.

Junior, Trieshanna Bradford, thinks differently. “Why are you marking you body? It’s a sin” say’s Trieshanna. There are some students who would agree with Trieshanna. To many, vandalizing their skin is not worth it. “I don’t need to tattoo my mother’s name on my arm to show that I love her” said Anonymous

Sophomore, Ashley Couret, got her tattoo at fifteen. “My mom said it was O.K.” said Ashley. She got her tattoo on her lower back. “It tickled, I was laughing. It only hurt when it got to my spine. It was alright though.” Said Ashley.

Many students have tattoos already and many would go and get them as well. To some students, tattoos are beautiful and represent something beautiful. To other’s, tattoos are useless and not worth the pain. Their considered decorations to some and vandalism by some.
