Tattoos come in many shapes and sizes. Tattoos are the marking of skin with ink and there are many different kinds of tattoos. Tattoos can be black and white or with colour. There is also a new type of tattoo called UV tattoos. UV tattoos use an ink that can only be viewed under a black light and it allows individuals to show off a past tattoo or a hidden tattoo in nightclubs.
“Pictures are worth a thousand words,” and tattoos can be an expression of one’s self to communicate non-verbally about who they are. Tattoos are an expression of who we are and what we want our body to show to the world. Some people have tattoos that are of a great significance to one point in their life while other individuals get tattoos for no reason at all. Individuals who have tattoos on their body use it as a way to communicate to other about what kind of person they are. Individuals with tattoos use tattoos as a way to express their thoughts and feelings. Tattoo-less individuals may use a different form of art to express their self such as poetry or art.
Individuals seek a way to express themselves and in our Candaian culture tattoos have become a very popular way to express their self. In conclusion tattoos are a way of modifying your body to make it your own.

ReplyDeleteI agree tatoo's are a form of expression. If I were to get a tatoo, it would be of some sort of significance to who I am as a person. That being said many people just get tatoo's for the sake of getting tatoos. I remember my grandfather had a tatoo and when I asked him why he got it and what exactly it was, he replied " I have no idea, I just wanted one when I was young". It seems this mentality is often the case with young kids.
