Many say that a tattoo depicts a personality. This quote validates this fact "My body is my journal and my tattoos are my story"
We often get wooed by people having an empowering and great personality. But have you ever thought what actually goes into making that kind of persona? Well! Let's put it this way. Personality is a reflection of who a person is inside, his thought process, actions, situations surrounding him and of course experiences. That is what makes a person who he or she is, his core personality. But besides this, there are various other things that enhance the way one looks and comes across to people around. It could be anything from the kind of clothes you wear to, the way you do your hair, manner of speaking. Some remain simple while some like it loud when it comes to fashion and dressing. Add to that thing like, fashion accessories, coloring, and even tattooing.
More and more people are embracing tattoo art to enhance their personalities. It is a western culture but rapidly being adopted in India. Tattooing dates back to a century-old tradition when people made a permanent mark on the body for various reasons, most important being as mark identification.
While tattoos may be an extension of one's personality and give you a distinct identity, not every tattoo has a profound meaning to it. Some do it out of pleasure, for style while others do it in remembrance of an event or a loved one.
Like no action also indicates some action done, similarly, any tattoo done on the body is a symbol of something that is associated with our personal being. It does show off a part of us and reflects our thoughts. Let's say you get a butterfly done on your hand. Well! Why would choose a butterfly? Simply because it looks appealing or there is more to it. While for someone it may just be a simple intricate design but of another person, it may indicate free-spirited nature. Wanting to fly around freely, perch on a beautiful flower, vibrant colors that depict a colorful nature.
Come to think of it, doesn’t really change us much but yes what it does is adds some style and confidence to how we come across. And that comes with the fact that there is something you may want to embody, so getting inked with a tattoo that symbolizes that trait may help you become the same. Say for example you want to become fearless and strong, so you get a tiger face done. Admiring your tattoo from time to time may make you stronger but will not completely change your personality. But what it will surely do is boost your confidence from time to time.
We all carry a certain image of ourselves and secretly desire to be that way in some form or the other. Now when you choose to get inked, what comes to mind is the design that you want to get inked with. This is something that will stay with you forever. So you choose carefully and only finalize when you are most drawn to something. In a way, you are looking for something that is an extension of who you are and also something that you most relate with. A pattern that matches your personality. There are limitless designs that one sees but narrows down on the one that speaks of you as a person. Even if it means you get someone's name inked. It shows what that person means in your life and how he or she influences you. After all don't they help shape up your personality in a big way?
