I am getting a tattoo.
It shall be of an elephant.
But before you bitch me out, or think differently of me, let me explain.
Tattoo's have been around for centuries, first start off as nothing more then severe scaring of the designated area, but has grown into a widely excepted art field.
They were originally linked with outlandish behavior due to sailors only having these original tattoos, (which they came across on their voyages around the world.)
Tattoos provide a person with a distinct identity, and also them to show to people what the stand for, with having to say a word.
People judge people with tattoos to harshly in todays world. Although they were once a symbol for rough and nasty behavior, they have changed to something much greater, creating there own culture along the way.
Tattoos always stand for something, weather it being I belong to a gang or This is who I am
Animals have always been widely accepted means of symbolism, through books and movies, to culture and tradition.
Take the elephant for example: though as an American we see it as a giant, they are highly respected in Indian culture.
Elephants are symbols for patience, power, wisdom, success, prosperity, and benevolence.
They are truly amazing animals.
Wish me luck!
