I think that tattooing is an art. It involves designs and self-expression as do all other forms of art. I personally would never get a tattoo. I don't like the idea of self inflicting pain upon myself.
ReplyDeleteI think it is an art because they get to do designes. They get payed to do do what they like on people. I guess it could not be to since they could get rid of it when ever they wanted to.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad people are starting to see tattoos as an art instead of something to look down upon. Also I think it's a good thing that the designs are becoming more popular even if they're not on the body, because then people that don't want the pain of a tattoo can still have the design.
ReplyDeleteI think that tattoos are considered an art b/c it can express a persons personality and what they enjoy. I think it's neat how people add their own creative ideas to their tattoos so it isn't just that image with no color or design.
ReplyDeleteyes,i think that tatooing is an art because i takes a lot of art skills to make the images and they use color and images in an intesting and cool way. yes i think tattooing is an art.
ReplyDeleteYes, tattooing is a very complex art because not only do you have do make creative desings but you have to apply them on the surface of human skin using needles and ink. There are so many details and techniques used in the art of tattooing. Anyone who thinks that tattooing isn't a form of art needs to think again.
ReplyDeleteYes tattooing is definitely an art. You can choose whatever you would like, and most people choose something meaningful or something very stupid. I also think it is an art because you could go to school for tattooing. There are very many different kinds of books and it takes a lot of skill to do a tattoo. In addition, just like painting in a museum you can wear the tattoo on your skin and show it off. I think that tattooing has definitely because much more popular within the last 20 years, and it is great.
ReplyDeleteI say that tattooing is an art. it is some that involves a lot of designs that must take a lot of time to make. So i think that it is an art for sure!
ReplyDeletei think tatooing is an art and it invloves designing it and the putting it on the skin is some what like painting on paper. its body art
ReplyDeleteI believe that tatooing is an art because it's an art work on the skin and since it's for life it normally has more meaning than just a drawing. Well unless your names Billy Ray and you get your ex's name or a beer brand on your shoulder.
ReplyDeleteI really think that tatooing is an art, because it shows something individual and very personal about someone, who has a tatoo.
ReplyDeleteI won't call it body art, I would call a special image , because it is not on a paper, it is on the skin..
like art has a tatoo a lot of details, skills and all these things.
Tattooing is definately an art. The guy who did mine talked about how he went to an art college and it really helped him with his career because he is able to make quality designs for the people. The tribal and stuff on my arm he just free handed with sharpie and made it pretty good i think.
ReplyDeleteI think tattooing is an art since there are so many different ways to express tattoos. Just like art is a way to express yourself, so is tattooing. Also there are so many different designs that are possible and it is very detailed just like a piece of artwork is.
ReplyDeleteTattoing is an art. You have to make a design and transfer it to skin. It's a way to express yourself. It's like taking drawing to the next level.
ReplyDeleteWell duh i do believe tattoos are art. They're art specially designed for someone. Tattoos are just like drawing with pens except you draw into skin. You have to be an extremely skilled artist to do tattoos and make a name for yourself. I wouldn't trust anyone with my tattoos. My tattoo is my favorite piece of artwork ever-- Thanks to Bacon.
ReplyDeleteWhile some people choose to get tattoos for petty reasons, tattooing itself, I belief, is an art. Each tattoo, no matter how poorly done or insignificant, was crafted with someone's own hands and used as a form of expression for the tattoo artist and the person receiving the tattoo.
ReplyDeletetattoing is an art.most people get them for pretty reasons. but art is the form of art.
ReplyDeletetattooing is a form of art. tattooing is a way to express yourself. their are many different patterns and designs of tattooing. tattooing is a way to express yourself just like art work is.
ReplyDeleteI think tattooing in an art way, because people have talent to do draw and painting then they can do tattooing if they have a steady arm most people that do art have steady arms. So i would have to say tattooing is an art form and a good way to express their feelings and life to have tattoos.
ReplyDeletei think that tattoos are deff. a way of art. they are one of the most creative things that a person can do. tattooing is drawing so it is even more of an art.
ReplyDeleteTattoos are definitely a way of art. Not that I want one, but they express things the wearer feels. He/she can show things they care for in their own colors and feelings. They are an example of the person's personality.
ReplyDeletetattoos=art. plain ande simple. The people who get a certain tattoo, is expressing themselves in a personal way. it could be a tattoo in honor of someone or something like that. just becauseyou did not draw it does not mean its not art
ReplyDeletelike maggie said "tattoos are deff. a way of art." They are very creative, and can show emotions through the pictures.
ReplyDeletetattoos are art. its art cause it the people making the designs
ReplyDeleteI think tatooing is a form of art. It's like taking drawing/painting to the next level. Its putting a personal picture permanantly on your body.
ReplyDeleteI love tattooing. I definately think it's an art. It's very personal and self-expressive. Just like poetry, anything can be considered art. I think this is one of the coolest ways to present art, especially when the tattoos have significant meanings.
ReplyDeletetatooing is DEFINANTLY an art it could ve a way to express the way you feel but just in a different situation. It is a body art to where the person wearing the tatoo could express how they feel or what they like just buy the way their tatoo looks.
ReplyDeletei think tatooing is an art because they are pictures that someone created. even if it is on skin, i would still defiantly say it is art.
ReplyDeleteI deff. think tattooing is considered a form of art. it's a way to express yourself through artwork on your body. i think it is on of the most beautiful ways to express yourself and your feelings.
ReplyDeletei think it is art. it is the peoples choice to get a tatoo. it is art because of the skill the artist has.
ReplyDeletei think it is art because the artist shows his/or her skills. i also think they r nice to have because they can show feelings and other things.
ReplyDeleteTattooing is a work of art. It definitely is. I just don't care for when you get old, the tatoos look bad sometimes cause you are old and wrinkly. I don't think getting a tatoo is wrong but I don't think it is the best thing you should do for yourself. You can express yourself in other ways too.
ReplyDeletei do think tattooing is a art but it is a art that goes on your skin not paper. and its a very cool type of art too.
ReplyDeleteTattooing is art!!!! To the EXTREME!!! It takes all that skill and steady hands to create those masterpieces, and they also require the creativity and imagination of the people getting them. I myself want to get a tattoo across my back one day, but that wont be for awhile.
ReplyDeletei think that tattooing is definitely an art. some tattoos are ugly, but some are amazing and realistic.
ReplyDeletesometimes they look like they are popping off the person's body.
i think you for sure can call tattoos art.
i guess you can call tattoos art because they take a lot of skill to do. but i also think tattoos are for curtan people.
ReplyDeleteI think that tattoos are cool and good way to express yourself and they also take a lot of talent to do
ReplyDeleteI think that reguardless of the tattoo, it is still a form of art..It's not like there is a tattoo ARTIST that doesn't know how to draw... Having artwork that you design yourself is a kind of expression that shows you as a person... =D. however, to what extent you take that might be overboard.
ReplyDeletetatoos are definately a form of art and they are prominent in our culture today. they have been around for thousands of years and are a way to express yourself. id say that any way you can be creative and express yourself should be concidered art. i have several tatoos that i would like to get but only my designs and only because they would have deep meaning to me. tatoos that just look cool aren't worth anything to me if they have no meaning behind them.
