Tattoos.....Tribal, Fashion and Extreme!!!!!

I personally love tattoos but i don't want one that anyone else has got, i believe in individuality. Like the lecturer said all these 'emos' who want these stars, they don't understand they've been around for ages!!!

Why have a permanent tattoo that you see everywhere? I just don't understand!!!!!

They aren't really seen as taboo anymore, they are a common thing, more of a fashion statement now i think, that's what puts me off having one.

Tribal tattoos are a ritual for the tribes, so its understandable they'd get angry if people stole their designs, such as the Robbie William's fiasco!!! The link below shows some tribal tattoos in more detail and focuses on the tattoos of one tribe: http://www.vanishingtattoo.com/tribal_tattoos_papua_new_guinea.htm

The woman on the left has a full body of tattoos, This effect has widely been copied in western societies now. The Pics below illustrates this!!!!

But i think tattooing is seen as 'bad' in this case:

I think this picture shows tattooing to an extreme...i don't know if this tattoo is legit, it mentioned his dad tattooed him.

So in modern society tattooing has once again been a fashion thing, its a thing to show off now rather than be frowned upon because of this. But would an employer want to employ a person tattooed from head to toe? No...In most cases. this shows that tattoos are now excepted to an extent.
