    Tattoos are judged negatively because of previous owners, as they used to solely belong to the skin of prisoners and pirates. They were a mark of pride to prove to the community of their criminal reputation.

In class I learnt that the people with tattoos are very stereotyped. Some people tattoes their bodys for having a piece of art, other people for a cultural thing, other people because of their religion and some others that do it because that tattoo represente something for him.

For many years people saw tattoos as a sign of rebellion. Now most tattooed people see their tattoos as unique aspects of themselves , while no single explanation accounts for the increasing popularity of tattoos, researches find that people use tattoos to express who they are and how the see themselves in relation to the others.

I think that the tattoos are very stereotyped by the people. Someones think that are a bad thing and that the peoples with tattos are criminals, bad persons or that kind of things, but I dont think like that people. The tatto of the picture I think is of a woman and she do it because that represent something special for her and is a something symbolic.
