" Tattoos are a visual manifestation of each person's approach to life and the journey they wish to take"
- Chris Rainer
Tattoos can show many different things. The tattoos I have seen do not show peoples approach to life or the journey they want to take. It does not make sense to me. For example, if someone wanted to be a lawyer they would not get a courthouse tattooed on them. There are a lot of other forms or tattoos as well.
I think a form of tattoo people get a lot is stuff that they believe in. Examples of this could be quotes, or verses. Many people get bible verses tattooed on them, for example.
Another tattoo that is common is the rest in peace tattoo. People like to get this form of tattoo to show respect for their lost family or friends. People also get this tattoo in memory for them.
Tattoos are in a wide variety, so people sometimes get tattoos of a design they like just because they like the way it looks. Also, people get tattoos of things they like such as sports teams as one example. People also can be addicted to tattoos.
Tattoos can show other things than just peoples approach to life or journey they wish to take. I have never seen any tattoos with those two things being shown. Peoples beliefs, rest in peace, and just designs or things they like are all examples of why i believe that tattoos do not show the things in the statement.

Tattoos
"Tattoos are a visual manifestation of each person's approach to life and the journey they wish to take."

I do not agree with that quote because people get tattoos for many different reasons. Some people just like an image or it's something to impress others or look like some one they're not. They might tell about where the person is and not where they're going in life. Later, people might change their minds about what the tattoo represents.
For example, Lil Wayne gets tattoos that he's not supposed to because the tattoos support different gangs. He does this because he doesn't know who he is or what he wants to be. He's just putting on a show. All his tattoos tell us is that he's a lost sad person.
Maybe for some people tattoos tell us about who they are but that's not true for all.
