Recently, tatoo bacame one of the fashion icon in Japan and I'm getting one in July as well.
However, unlike foreign countries like America, image of tattoo is considered to be bad in Japan.
For instance, those people who are against tatoos, they think you are a 'punk', no matter if you are not.
So in today's blog, I would like to change this kind of bad image to those of you who criticize tatoos
When people look at this tatoo, they would think this guy is Yakuza or hooligan. However, he is actually just an ordinary person like us.
He is a friend of mine and he works as a photographer. He cares about his family a lot!! Because he lost his dad a long time ago, he always takes care his young brothers and his mum.
He got this tatoo three years ago which was two years after his dad had passed away.
He says that this tatoo is a memorial of his dad and it means a lot to him. Every time he looks at his tatoo on his back, it reminds him of the days he had spent with his dad and who he was like.
It is true that some people get tatoos as fashion icon. But it is not always the case. Like him, he wanted to get something that means to him for the rest of his life.
And myself, I want to get something that means a lot to me. Otherwise I will just regret of having one. Because I had a lot of problems in the past, I want to get something that reminds me of what I have been through and how I got through them.
As I have already said in the beginning of this blog, I'm getting a tatoo in July but I'm not going to get one until I decide what I really want to get.
Tatoos are permanent. They don't come off unless you have laser surgery. What's the point of having a tatoo if you think you will regret of having one?
I never want to regret what I have done or what I'm going to do.
People tend to regret what they have done in the past and they get depressed easily. Well, it's life. Since you are a human being, you have to regret about something at some point.
It is not why you regret about it, it's how you are going to deal with it.
Having said that, sometimes I don't know how to deal with my problems. lol
But once you figure out the problems, you feel happier than ever and I know this for a fact.

Great. Note how your first paragraphs are widely spaced.
And even in the US tattoos have a bad reputation in some areas. Opinions differ from country to country, as you could guess.
Cool!!
I didn't know that you have such a respectable opinion about your life and getting tattoo. So now I think it is not so bad to get tattoo, and I hope you would be satisfied with the consequence. In any case, tattoo seems like a simbol of one's life and goal, so it is really cool.
I guess I've just changed my idea of tatoo. I was kindda worried how someone would look at my tatto, if I got one. But now I guess it's a good thing to have a tatoo as a simble of one's life. What kind of tatto do you want to get?
It sounds cool. I was thinking that tatoo was dangerous. But now I think it is cool!
