Body Piercing and Tattoo History
Body piercing and tattooing has been around for hundreds, even thousands of years. Tattoos and piercing is a form of art that is found on many bodies, mostly those of the younger generations. In ancient Egypt, tattoos were a sign of nobility. To the Mayans, piercings were part of their religious culture. Piercings on Roman soldiers were a sign of their manhood. But in today’s society is similar to those of the English and European in the late 1800s. Body piercings and tattoos are seen as a fashion statement.

This is a great subject. You could add some images and a little more information on a controversial part of the subject.
ReplyDeleteGood topic. I plan on getting tatoos pretty soon. Tatoos have been around forever and they are in many cultures and religions. You should also do a article about the different ways some people tatoo and what equipment they should use
ReplyDeleteI think that tattoos are alright if you don't have a lot. I feel that the people out there who have tattoos that cover their whole body don't look as attractive as someone who only has a few or none because it makes me feel like they don't respect their bodies. I don't hate tattoos but I don't think that people should have a lot because over time they end up fading, becoming saggy and due to skin damage, the tattoo doesn't look like it did when the person first got them. I think piercings are alright too but again, if people over do it, they don't look right.
ReplyDeleteI think tattoos and body piercings are an interesting way for people to express themselves. However i personally think that some people do go overboard with them. If that is how they want to express themselves that is fine, i just think too much can be distasteful.
