Lately, after years of tattoos being frowned upon by many people in Egypt, they are resurfacing as some sort of a new hush-hush trend! We can see all sorts of people getting tattoos or dropping likes on tattoo models’ pictures. However, no one is actually declaring why or how did this transition of thoughts happen. Just when did tattoos become many Egyptians’ guilty pleasure?

There are specific designs that are just blowing every one’s mind! Many girls are falling in love with that sassy, red-inked snake tattoo, while other girls are more interested in small different symbols of hearts or arrows or even short meaningful quotes. Who can blame them? No one, because these designs look awesome!

Many guys like to go for different designs of long-sleeves or leg tattoos that are just gorgeously bold! However, some guys are more into simple designs that mean something to them, mostly somewhere around the chest area. Whether it’s a tattoo with a background story or just a random one, we believe it looks bluntly cool!

Why are some people afraid of getting tattoos?

Those who are not getting tattoos, preferring to just lowkey enjoy staring at them or at their pictures are a whole different situation. Their reasons are mostly that tattoos are expensive and come in a long, slightly painful process or, of course, that they are worried about strict parents’ opinions or the weird judgmental stares on the streets!

For the latter batch, we totally get your struggles. In Egypt, life is not that simple when it comes to outer-look changes! But we really hope that personal choices such as tattoos become more acceptable by the society. Who are they hurting? No one, right? Then, everyone should just mind their own businesses!

It is very obvious that the number of tattoo artists is increasing, as tattooing is a profitable business, and not to mention, that it’s artistic and requires a lot of talent! Many artists have a knack for drawing, so they design their own tattoos and let the customers choose whichever one is relatable to them. How cool is it, showing off your artwork using only needles and some special ink? Extremely cool!

However, here is a piece of advice if you’re about to get a tattoo: make sure you know all about the hygienic measures taken by the artist and how to maintain the tattoo’s neatness afterwards. Also, don’t forget to get a prescription for infections just in case your body doesn’t take the whole thing very well!
