■ A tattoo: Is a form of body modification where a design is made by inserting ink,
dyes and pigments, either indelible or temporary, into the dermis layer of the skin to
change the pigment. The art of making tattoos is tattooing.
■ Tattoos fall into three broad categories: purely decorative (with no specific meaning);
symbolic (with a specific meaning pertinent to the wearer); pictorial (a depiction of a
specific person or item). In addition, tattoos can be used for identification such as
ear tattoos on livestock as a form of branding.
■ Change of look: Sometimes we need to remake our style and how we dress
according the fashion. It doesn´t matter if you don´t wear expensive clothes, you
can find good clothing with a low budget; the secret it´s to find your own style
according to your personality. Many people change their look or the way they dress
because they want to impress a possible couple.

hardest ways to reinvent yourself, but the only thing you may need to do it is money
and a little bit of courage, the toughest is the decision of taking the first step, as any
important decision in the life of any one, you´ll feel nervous or scared, if you
manage to overcome this, the rest of the way is easier. There are many examples of
body modifications:

■ Gym: Another way to reinvent yourself is going to a gym, doing exercise to lower your
weight, or for medical proposes, or just because you want to look fine, it’s a little
difficult because it demands a high amount of strong will and perseverance, but the
results, if you want it, worth it.
■ Accessories & Hair style: Another way to reinvent yourself is changing your image,
changing your external appearance by your dress code or your hair cut, or using new
accessories, as bracelets or necklaces, this kind of modification often happens
when you want to show a bigger change in your life, like a change in your life style or

 REFLECTION

■ Reinventing ourselves is a great way to remake or rewrite a new chapter in your life,
we often get tired or bored about how our personality or appearance is, and it´s
normal, the nature of the human being is to change constantly something of our
daily character, our nature is to being accepted by others no matter how. Sometimes
your reinvention cannot be perceived as good by the society, but it doesn´t matter
because they don´t know what you have been through or your reasons, for example,
a person with a lot of tattoos may had them because every single one of them
remind him about someone beloved by him that it isn´t now.
■ But most important, our look may not define the type of person that we are, in some
cases we pay more attention about people´s appearance and not their behavior,
what defines you it´s if you are a good person with the people around you in your
daily day.
Life isn´t about finding yourself.
Life is about creating yourself.
