What do you think about tattoos?

Kelly Khumalo just added to her collection of tattoos. The singer got her second wing tattooed on her left arm yesterday and shared it on her Instagram.

Kelly, just like Rihanna, Keyshia Cole, Kelis and Chrisette Michele is quite a fan of tattoos and has amassed quite a collection over the years. We actually really love the wings.

Gone are the days when tattoos where only donned by those who were perceived to be ‘dodgy’, ‘criminals’ or bikers. These days they make an appearance in office spaces and upmarket restaurants without causing anyone to bat an eyelid. They’re a widely accepted form of self-expression and a way to commemorate specific occasions.

Despite their popularity though there are a few circles that still take issue with body art. Still associating it with deviant behaviour and also being concerned about the appearance of these tattoos in one’s old age.

So we want to know what your thoughts are on the issue. Do you have any tattoos? If so, what are they and why did you get them?

Here are a few tattoos donned by some of our fave celebs…

 

Had to see if they look good together…#MyLoveForInk #freedomofexpression….
