Tattoo Addiction

As a general rule, human beings tend to avoid pain and seek pleasure. Tattooing is known for being a bit painful. Conquering this fear can be exhilarating and can promptly effect in one wanting more and more tattoos once they understand that they can deal with the sensation. This can, however, get a bit out of hand. Tattoos are a form of art and, like any form of art, too much of a good thing can ruin the effect. One should all the time be sensible and thoughtful about their decisions about body modification.Tattoos say something about the bearer. Too many bad tattoos tend to say the bearer either has some personal issues or that they don't put adequate time into their choices, neither of which carries a particularly desirable implication. Those individuals who are heavily-tattooed but who have excellent work didn't perform their look by impulsive decisions or as a effect of being addicted to getting more and more ink: They thought about every tattoo and only got the work done after development a decision that the tattoo was exactly what they wanted. Make safe bet that one's intellect is all the time in the driver's seat where selecting a tattoo is concerned.

There is an endorphin rush related with tattooing. This, in and of itself, can be very addictive and is similar to "runner's high." Make safe bet that any tattoo as a matter of fact means something and that it is an honest expression of one's self. Getting a tattoo just to get a tattoo defeats the whole point. For thousands of years, human beings have modified their bodies for discrete reasons. Shallow reasons which stem from an addiction to the process as a matter of fact do nothing to expand the art and will not serve one well in the long-term future. One should never have to regret a tattoo.But the subject of tattoo "addiction," indeed, the very use of that word itself is a cause for a very dissimilar discussion. What as a matter of fact is addiction and is the desire for more tattoos or tattooing something that would fit into that mold? Well, there are basically two situations we might consider: the touch of being tattooed which is a manageable pain, and the feeling of having them which would cater more to self adornment, although of a more permanent nature than most other forms.

Drug For Addiction

The argument for addiction to the process of being tattooed is that the recipient as a matter of fact learns to get an endorphin high, a rush, while under the needle (sound familiar?) and that that feeling is what is craved. I don't know. I haven't spoken with anyone who has said they as a matter of fact "crave" the process, but of policy that doesn't mean that such population don't exist. But from my touch I would tend to say that this idea is untrue and is probably put forth by population who may have issues with tattoos or population who have them.I think the big argument for "addiction" is that the population who have them tend to want more after their first. Well, this much is true. Again, from my own touch it would seem that population who get tattoos like tattoos, and therefore are more likely to be tattooed . . . .more than once. Do I see a smile there? I hope so, because base sense will tell you that enjoying something does not, in and of itself, make it an addiction. Have you gone to more than one concert? Hmmm. You must be a concert addict. Do you have more than one car, one motorcycle?? Hmmm. More addictions. You see what I'm getting at. The use of the word "addiction" can be very inaccurate and like many words in our language is subject to abuse and misuse

Although it is as a matter of fact likely that for some people, the process of being tattooed is an addiction, and for others the obtaining of more and more body art is also an addiction, Pure numbers will as a matter of fact verify that this is true although I have no data to back it up. It would not be difficult to accept this.But for most of us, I would say that we are doing what we love because that is what gives us delight and enjoyment. It does not cause any harm to others in any way, nor to us ourselves if we are just and do what we do responsibly and with care. Tattoo addiction, in the literal sense then, I see as a myth. But tattoo enjoyment . . . .well, that's an other story.
