Why You Shouldn't Worry About Tattoo Regret Later in Life 0

If you have tattoos, you will probably have heard this phrase or some variation at some point in your life: "You know those will still be there when you are 80?" It's common for people who don't like or have tattoos themselves to make statements like this.

What do your parents think? | New Tattoo Care 0

I came across an article recently in The Guardian written by a mother who was heartbroken about her son getting a tattoo. This got me thinking, I understand that there are still people out there who don’t approve or like tattoos, but I still find it difficult to comprehend. Now as I have said before my mum wasn’t exactly a fan of tattoos when I first started getting them, she has since changed her attitude after learning more about them and now has tattoos herself. There were a few things that stood out to me in this article, some things that the mother said that I wanted to talk about, something that the son I think could have done differently and attitudes to tattoos from our parents. “What do your parents think?” is such a common question for heavily tattooed people so let’s take that apart a little bit. We talk about new tattoo care here but what about the people they care about and their impressions of our tattoos?

5 Tattoo Fads that Kind of Died Out... | Tattoo Supplies 0

So over the last few years more and more people have been getting tattoos, and when something becomes popular there are bound to fads surrounding that come and go. Now I’m not saying that people don’t get these tattoos anymore, I’m just saying that there was a surge in the volume of these tattoos in the last couple of years, and once my Pinterest page would be plastered with these kinds of tattoos and now I don’t see them so much anymore. Here at MTS, we sell tattoo supplies but we also make lists! So let’s have a look at some of the tattoos that came and went.

Tattooed Teachers? | Tattoo Machine Wholesale Supplier 0

I recently came across an article in The Guardian called “Should Teachers be able to have Tattoos?”. The article peaked my interest because it’s not one that’s wholly new to me as my mum is a manager of a nursery and she we have had many conversations on whether she should show her tattoos at work, it’s something that she thinks a lot about. Now I am obviously coming from a bias position as we here at MTS as a tattoo machine wholesale supplier love everything about tattoos, so keep that caveat in mind so you know which side of the fence I am coming from. The article basically showed a few different statements from head teachers, teachers, parents and one tattoo artist that used to teach maths. It was fairly open ended in the way it didn’t state at the end whether there was a right answer, let's look at some of the points that were brought up.
