          Tattoos are the act or practice of marking the skin with indelible patterns, pictures, legends, etc., by making punctures in it and inserting pigments.  Lots of people nowadays are getting tattoos, and the tattoo industry is growing tremendously. The very first tattoo was discovered over 5,000 years ago, and along with the different types of people who wear tattoos, there are different types of tattoos.
Tattoos are a way of expressing your feelings, beliefs, or just a reason to put art on your body. People get tattoos for many different reasons. It could be to represent a loved one, to show your religion, or to show your favorite things like quotes, animals, symbols, etc. Getting a tattoo can also show your imagination, and how you see certain things. The legal age for getting a tattoo in the U.S. is 18 years. Once you turn 18, you can get a tattoo without needing your parents' permission!! Just make sure you think about the design, because tattoos are painful and permanent, and you don't want to get something you will regret later in life. It is possible for the tattoo to be removed, but it is a long and painful process, and it is also expensive.
In conclusion, body art can come in the form of tattoos. Personally, I think tattoos are great if you are person who likes to express yourself, without caring what other people have to say about you. If you want a tattoo, get one. Just make sure you go to someone who knows what they are doing, because not everyone is great at doing tattoos.                                                                                                          

Nail Art






Nail Art <3

Everyone loves to get the perfect manicure nowadays. Nail art is another form of art, along with tattoos, that can be put on your body. People put art on their nails for different reasons. Some enjoy having them, some need them for special occasions, and sometimes, people just want to treat themselves. Whatever the reason, nail art is always a fun and relaxing experience and the outcome is always beautiful. 
 
When it comes to nails, many people have different types. Some people have short nails, other people have really long ones. Some people have nails that look like claws. Nail art is fun because you can put anything on it. Your favorite character, your favorite colors, etc. You can put diamonds on it, glitter, and everything girly. Some people paint their natural nails, but others who have short nails can get them extended if they wish. Extending a nail can be done by using acrylic nails and glue or by using gel, which hardens on top of the natural nail under a UV light. Nail extensions allow space for more designs, and gives the nails a nice look. 

In conclusion, nail art is something that anyone can get. It is fun to treat yourself once in a while, unless you do it all the time. Just make sure you go to a professional who knows how to do nails and will do it the way you like it. You will LOVE the outcome!!!
