ST Reflections #3 -- "Ink Corporated"!

Question 1: What are some reasons stated in the article why some people choose to have body art like tattoos or piercings done on parts of their body.

Some reasons that people would choose to have body arts like tattoos or piercings on their body parts are that they want attention from others around them, so that throught having these "special" things on them people will look at them. But they certainly would not know how people would think about them. Second reason is that they want others to feel that they are powerful; fearless; strong. This is because having these tatoos or piercings it have to go through pains from needles. Some may also feel cool and think that it is a fashion.

Question 2: a) What are some impressions you would form of a person whose body is covered with tattoo?

Some impressions of a person whose body is covered wityh tattoo which i would look at is , bad , scary , not a good person.

b) Would you consider getting a tattoo in future? Why?

NO. I felt that having a tattoo is not a way to show that its nice or whaever. It would cause people to look at you in different perceptives many would not be good ones. Having a tattoo would also waste money waste time too. Having to place the tattoo on our body requires the needles with ink poking into our body. I feel that this is a suffering for one more then a " cool " thing. I would definitly think twice before i do things like this. The heavy price will definitly outweight the gains.
