Tattoos As Self-Mutiliation

[YankeyMCC]

3. It's only recent historical times that tattoos were not something

most people had for one reason or another.

Humans, particularly humans with skin easily colored all over the world have pretty much always used tattoos.

Not saying the fairly recent resurgence wasn't spurned at least in part by fads, I just think there is not surprised a fad isn't fading and is in fact seeming to continue to gain acceptance in mainstream culture.

I think that is a good thing, as the sooner it looses the forbidden fruit temptation parents can have more effective conversations with their children if and when they start thinking about getting tattoos.
