Have Tattoos become socially acceptable.














If you watch programs such as Miami Ink you will see the vast cross section of people who are having tattoos. Teachers, lawyers and Doctors are participating in an act that in it's conception was considered to be only for sailors and vagabonds who were previously incarcerated. Tattoos are no longer seen as satanic or evil by most, they are rather embraced by society as an outlet of expression. I have had six tattoos and love each one. They all have significant meaning to me. The most important thing to know when getting permanent ink on your body is not to forget that it is permanent so you need to be sure it's what you want. Many people imitate their favourite celebrity and end up with a tattoo that they do not really want.
Historically tattooist were not considered to be artists, this has all changed today.
