Everyone, especially young people, wants to be considered cool by the people they consider cool. I know there are many people who got tattoos for different reasons like for fun, expressing love, or for art.

There are some people who make tattoos to make a cool statement.

Humans would like to be their best, and that includes being cool.

You will never see anyone saying that he/she wishes to be uncool, short, ugly, dumb, poor, etc.

When you ask a child what he wants to be in the future, he will never tell you anything negative. This is human nature. Being cool is not something that you have to follow some trends in order to be cool. People consider that having a certain style that is popular and fashionable among people looks cool.

According to me, a style of your own, not just in fashion, but your attitude(s) in all aspects of life makes you cool. In today’s era, youngsters get into college and they feel like they have to be cool in order to be famous in their friend's group.

“We’re living in a time where everyone is trying to stand out of the crowd, and yet, tries hard to be noticed by the same crowd.”

It is not about tattoos, it is about our wrong perception of being cool.
If someone wears good clothes that suit him or her, we find it that they are looking cool.

I have a list of cool stuff in real life that altogether gives the perfect definition of coolness.

(1) A cool person has confidence in himself or herself and knows how a job is done without any fuss.
(2) Cool people don’t speak unnecessarily, they express themselves briefly often on point.
(3) A cool person keeps his calm when everything is messed up around him.
(4) A cool person wears his weakness as armor.
(5)A cool person knows that being cool all the time is not cool.

Remember, the good qualities inside yourself make you cool. There is not something like branded clothes, sports cars and costly watches that you are wearing that makes you cool. Your attitude towards life is good enough to make you cool.
