Analysis 4- Formulas!

My culture topic is Tattoos and Piercings and my opinion you need to have a formula to get a tattoo. You want to have someone ink on you that knows what they are doing so the tatt or piercing does not get infected or is simply just messed up and looks hideous. A lot of people also have their tattoos drawn up by the tatt artist, themselves or someone they know.

Some people just do not care what their art looks like to others. The art could be the ugliest thing made and have absolutly no meaning to them, but the person wearing it may think it looks cool, or has some meaning to them but no one knows.  When I read up on people's opinions on tattoos and piercings, there were many different views on them. I found a lot on cultural views. How they started, when they started and the meaning behind why they started, very interesting! Now tattoos are a very popular trend to get done. On one of my findings I found an article on tattoos in the workplace. A long time ago someone would not of gotten a job at some places due to the art they had visible on them, but now more businesses are about the work ability than appearance. Some businesses are still about appearances as well, which some positions, I  feel, need to be that way.

I gained a lot more knowledge on the past of tattoos and piercings and the meaning behind them just in cultural views.
