HW#32 tattoos

Now a days tattoos are really popular, it's either you have one or you're planning to have one. Its really amazing how popular they've become, back then, tattoos were for initiating, and the "bad" crowd, kind of like how back then if you pierced your left ear you're in a gang, and if pierced your right ear you're gay. Tattoos are more of a appearance base kind of thing, people get them so that people will look at they differently, whether it be bad or good, its still attention. Like with Mr.Fanning he got his tattoo for getting in a band, you know to add to the punk rock appearance and too look cool. Especially now that nearly everybody is getting a tattoo.

Like i personally want tattoos and i admit i want them so i can catch the attention of other people, even though people can argue that stabbing a foreign substance into your body isn't very healthy. Though most people will say they got because they liked it which is true, and because it symbolizes something, its still for attention, like back then they would mark up their bodies as a sign of becoming a man, and those tattoos are so that people will look at them and know right away that their adults, that they're mature.

Also when Mr.Fanning mention how his tattoos were an armour for him, because most of the time people associate them with masks, like oh he got a tattoo right after me and in the same spot, what a fake, hes just trying to be cool. But to him it was an armour, which is strange consider, people can get really sick from getting tattoos, but when i start thinking about how its an armour, i think about how armours protect people from getting hurt from whats around them, so does that mean that tattoos are a protection against reality? i mean like ipod people block out the world and just insolate themselves, but i guess with tattoos its more in the way of fitting in, because if you get a tattoo you're cool and you're protected from being a complete loser and unwanted.
