As long as tattoos are around there are going to be people putting them down, saying they are bad influences and nothing good can come out of them. Which couldn't be farther from the truth. Just because someone displays a little body art on their skin, it doesn't mean they are a bad person with no morals or respect for society. However, a new study is now claiming that if a person has three or more tattoos it is highly likely that they have low self-esteem. The study suggests that tattoos are not just fashion accessories but driven by a wide range of motivational factors that are significantly associated with self-esteem. So psychologists are warming people especially youngsters to think long and hard before they decided to get a tattoo.
Of course the 48 people that were questioned for this study, not one of them admitting to having self-esteem problems. They all reported the reason they got their tattoos was one of the following:to be rebellious, to belong to a group, for aesthetic reasons and because of a strong emotional attachment.
However, a researcher was quick to admit that people are tending to get tattoos these days because of emotional attachment. She also admitted that not everyone falls in this low self-esteem category when it comes to having three or more tattoos. She even mentions David Beckham as a perfect example of a person covered in tattoos that has a very high self-esteem.
The moral to this story is don't believe every negative thing people say about tattoos.
