Good day... I singed up in this site because i wanted to coment on this question. First of all, i fine it no suitable question to the African continent. This is because tattoos what according to my opinion presently have turned in a senceless way of fashioning the body for the senceless (My excuses on that but it's my fact)! is originated from Africa!
If i will refrase the question to : What do think about an african lady with a meaningless tattoo?
Tattooses are meanful marks to certain traditional cultures in African and now outside like china and such. Such a tattoo i respect fully from da soul for they exsisted befor my exsitance and they came from our ancestors and for a beautiful reason i can't tell.
IN my culture in Nigeria tattoos are very special marks and blessings aswell. They are not just given by anyone and for a fashionable reason but for a meaning... A meaning that helps stand your existance and that make you feel worth a person. I will compare it with having a village were you originated from.
Coming back to the Topic , i find it senceless of the White coz in the Netherlands and in other part of the western world tattoos are used by ladies and guys like a baby using a chalk on his his / her boy trying to learn how to write. A child who has totally no concept of the aim of the chalk. Now this child is even better comparing to a grown up who will do certain things for no useful reason. At the point i will understnd from many that there is a reson and i suppose that reason is the pleasure you feel as a person on wanting to get a tattoo. I stop at this point to say... It is less of stupidity for a white person to get a tattoo coz the white man has no culture nor manners and for that reason seaks confort in materialism and anuthing that is good for the economy. Now here comes my saying... 'when you got nothing you can't lose nothing' This is one of the reason why the white girls are very easy going with segxwal intercose and anything you can think of. They are totally empty and for this reason feel very happy when attention is given or showned! Now do not get me wrong i am not saying that black girls are totally the opposite but here lies a difference. You see this is a long topic to one like me, so i cna´t say everything i will say if disscussing face to face! Do leave any blank space open adn try to digest the filled space.
Coming back to the topic...
If a black lady will get a tattoo for thesame reason it is gotten in the western world then even if i do not know you MY HEART is hurt very badly as i see AFRICA´S nature being disrespected.
You see, at this point, not just is Africa as a whole abused by you but also are you abused by your self and a GREAT disgrace to you CONTINENT, COUNTRY, CITY, VILLAGE, PARENTS, AND last and still not the least ACCENSTORS!!!!!
you cna then see that you are drawned away from your own culture and the wonderful meaning and honour Africa attachs to tattoos that are worn. At this point alot of people already are because in their heads they do not have respect for these little things no more! They see it just like it is seen by the while man, while the whole beauty of tattoos and others are taken from Africa!!!
Do not let stupidness run crazy because by then you will have wondered too far to find you way back home!!! Sometime i ask my self : The reason why alooot of Africans or nigerian do not see the beauty of THE MOTHER LAND. They glide into the wester ways , habbits and all. Which is totally not adorable, kind not humanlike. I am not descriminating , but i have lived in alot of places and not assimulated but integrated into different cultures and i SPEAK A FACT OR I SPEAK NOT.
You open your ears and eyes for at your willing monents they are always closed though seemed opened. For alot of people whoe never see it at a early age they always turn out discoving at the very late age why changing appears a waste of effort.
This is the period to save what you've got. If ya take a tattoo that means something very special and important to you, that i find a good aim. But then comes the question, if it is that important will you let it be placed by some worker you do not know in a tattoo shop and pay for it or by some one special and good in heart... here again i do not respect your person for you do not know what life contents.I know why you want a tattoo and i know the consequences and i know what ya feeling now but ask your self: Why do i want a tattoo? this will help you figure out how short you will be liking that tattoo and how long you will be hating it!
Shot because eventhough you like till you are 60 years of age and you die when you are 65 years of age, The period you hate it and regret having it will still be more longer, unconfortable or painfull. So take caution. It ya skin is not blue do and you have no concret meaniful reasons don not join the crazy club for free! I COMMENTED ON THIS MORE TO ENLIGHTEN THE ORIGIN , MEANING , BEAUTY AND BLESSING OF A TATTOO AS IT ORINATED! SAVING AFRICA'S BEAUTY AND MAKING THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW, READ AND KNOW THAT AT CERTAIN ACTIONS THAT WE TAKE OUT BEAUTIFUL CONTINENT AFRICA AND CONTRY NIGERIA IS DISRESPECTED AND INSULTED WHILE UNITY IS SPOKEN THE MOUTH!!!
I fly off. Goodluck on solving the equation of life. Peace from da mind!
