THE NEW GENERATION OF TATTOOS

           NO MATTER WHERE YOU MAY GO IN THE WORLD TODAY YOU WOULD SPOT YOU A GOOD HAND FULL OF PEOPLE WITH TATTOOS. THE WAY HOW JUST ABOUT EVERYONE NOW HAS TATTOOS YOU WOULD THINK THAT TATTOOING JUST STARTED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. THE HISTORY OF TATTOOS AND TATTOOING GOES BACK  CENTURIES AGO. I DONT KNOW WHY IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE NEW GENERATION HAS STARTED A TREND OF FACIAL TATTOOS IN WHICH MOST WOULD CALL FACIAL GRAFFITI.

             FACIAL TATTOOS IN OTHER COUNTRIES WHERE  KNOWN AS A TRADITIONAL STATEMENT WITH MULTIPLE MEANING BEHING THEM. THE THINGS THAT WE MAY SEE NOW TATTED ON SOMEONES FACE NOW DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME MEANING AS WHICH THEY DID BACK THEN. 

              MY OPINION TOWARDS THE NEW GENERATION OF FACIAL TATOOS IS THAT IM NOT TOTALY AGAINST TATTOO CONSIDERING I HAVE THEM. BUT WHAT IM NOT UNDERSTANDING NOW IS WHY DOES TATTOOING HAVE TO GO AS FAR AS PLACING THEM ON YOUR FACE NOW. IN TODAYS SOCIETY PEOPLE HAVE CREATED MEANING TO TATTOOS THAT APPEARS ABSURDED TO MOST IN THE POPULAR CULTURE.  THE AVERAGE PERSON WOULD LOOK AT THEM AND FORM NEGATIVE CONNOTATION THAT COULD BE COSTLY IN FORMING RELATIONSHIPS, GAINING EMPLOYMENT, AND FITTING INTO MAINSTREAM SOCIETY.  

             What brought me fourth to the topic of conversation is that I know this young man in his mid- twenties who just gotten fear God tatted on the right side of his face. When asked him why he had gotten the tatted placed on his face and whats the significance behind the tattoo on his face, this young man then replies, " gucci man told him to get it and that he is going to get more". My understanding of what he told me was plain stupidity and ignorance. How does he expect to move forward in life and receive an good audience? This is someone that in the next couple of years is expected to be bettering our future youth. Hard to believe right?
