a temporary tattoo.

dangerous. It’s not good for our health and our body.
M: So, why are
people still using tattoo.
N: I don’t know,
maybe they want to look cool.
M: I think it’s
not cool for several people.
N: Yeah,
sometimes it suits but sometime doesn’t.
M: But I’m still confused. Why are you still
using tattoo, when you know it’s a bad?
N: Like I said before, this is a temporary
tattoo. A permanent tattoo uses ink. It contains chemical which is dangerous
for our body.
M: And how about
the permanent tattoo?
N: I don’t really
know about that.
M: Okay, so is

language and the other is a alphabet.
M: Oh, a Thai
language, what does it mean?

I never ask him, but I guess it’s a kind of
protection.
M: Wow, it’s so
cool.
N: Thank you
haha. By the way, do you have family who get a tattoo or piercing?
M: Yes, I have. My uncle got a tattoo on his
back, but now it has been erased. Actually, in my religion we must not to make
a tattoo.
N: Oh, I see.
M: But, I can use Henna to replace tattoo.
N: What is the different?
M: Henna uses natural ingredients and it isn’t
dangerous for our health and our body.
N: I understand now. It’s look good too.
M: Yeah, it’s a look like real tattoo.
Actually, are you going to make a piercing?
N: It sounds
cool, but I don’t want to do it.

N: We have to be
graceful for what we have.

has already made us perfectly.
