BBC questions do it yourself tattoos

Would you tattoo yourself using a DIY kit? This is the headline of the story unveiled by the BBC today in this article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-10713587.

The BBC has revealed that more and more young people are using DIY kits to create their own tattoos...with no protection and no experience.

Tattoos are more popular than ever and there is increase pressure to have one, especially among young people. One surveys says that 1 in 3 has a tattoo in the UK.

More people are taking things into their own hands and tattooing themselves using various cheap methods. This was confirmed by tattoo artists who say they see more and more people walking in asking for a cover up of a really bad home made design. Many have been done with kits bought over the Internet for as little £60, mainly from China. The risk is high as this can lead to infection....and regrets!

Think twice before going for a DIY tattoo. It's definitely best to save up and have it done by a pro!!

Megan Fox has revealed that she got a new tattoo. The actress recently added to her tattoo collection, saying it's a special piece of work inspired by fellow actor Mickey Rourke.

She claimed it's actually in honor of her Passion Play co-star Mickey Rourke.

She got the new tattoo in honor of him as she thinks he's a very special person. The tattoo is a quote in English on her ribs and has been attributed to the 19th century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche : "Those who danced were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." Lovely!
