Tattoos seem like a harmless expression of art,but is a permanent body modification quite an extreme way of doing that? The picture opposite is of a gang member and in my opinion very extreme. The largest tattoo size that I would have would be the size of my palm and (considering I have small hands) that's not too big. I think that a proportion of individuals use tattoos because they want to create a certain image of themselves,whether that's being part of a gang or a culture. I don't think having a tattoo is necessarily being bad, its just not part of society's norms so seems threatening to some. Many people have several small tattoos and aren't looked at differently than someone without tattoos, so I think as long as you don't go over the top its not such a big deal.
