Should Tattoos Be On Women?
I came across an article in the Sky News Wire about tattoos for women.
It was interesting because it pointed out how long tattooing has been around and culturally the reasons behind some tattoos on women.
Like in Borneo, women would tattoo themselves to show what they were skilled at, such as weaving or the gatherer of medicinal herbs. This communicated their rank as marriage material.
In western Asia, girls were tattooed in such a way as to show their place in society.
In the last 20 years, approximately 50% of all tattoos are now done on women. Particularly, soccer moms and professional women aged between 18 to 40.
Tattooing despite being banned many times in different cultures for periods of time, it still appears that it will never go away.
With the world of freedom of expression, it’s no wonder tattoos are becoming more popular among the lower backs of many women, ankles, forearms and anywhere else on the body.
Let’s not forget the celebrities getting in on the action too, such as, Pamela Anderson, Christina Applegate, Victoria Beckham and Angelina Jolie.
Just remember, to take your time to choose the right design and make sure you deal with a reputable shop.
