To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit organization that works to help those struggling with mental illnesses, such as depression, self-harm, addiction, and suicidal thoughts. I was twelve years old when I happened to come across this organization. I can’t remember the exact date or what I should’ve been doing at the time, but I was browsing through YouTube. I…

Juan Henao, a staff writer for the Daily Collegian for Penn State, gives his opinion in his article, My View: Tattoos Are Unprofessional, that they make a person look unprofessional due to the stigma of them still in our culture. Tattoos are essentially permanent since tattoo removal is more expensive than the tattoo itself, and even then some colors cannot be fully removed. With so many other ways to show self-expression, why do so in a permanent way that you may end up regretting later? With…

What is a tattoo? A tattoo is making a design by inserting a pigment into punctures in the skin. Most people do not believe in tattoos and that tattoos are not professional. People will not get hired because they have tattoos that are visible on their skin. Which I believe is wrong that people cannot get a job because they have tattoos.
