As a person with a tattoo, it may be harder for me to admit that the position taken by Leeanne Padowski, on whether or not to get a tattoo, has better merit. Padowski tries to give the reader confidence in her position, with evidence supporting her belief, that a tattoo is a bad choice. She uses the Mayo Clinic's opinion that tattoos can lead to skin infections, as well as allergic reactions. Other Mayo Clinic concerns noted include blood born diseases like tetanus and hepatitus B and C. I do feel like Padowski's use of the Mayo Clinic's " opinion " was an inadequate argument. Importantly noted, these are only written opinions, not backed by statistics in this instance. Equally dissappointing was Ron Johnson's hypothetical facts that
Even though Ron Johnson highlights some good points about the benefits of tattoos in his article "Tattoos: The Ultimate in Expression", Leeanne Padowski provided stronger support with more evidence in her article "Think Before You Ink".Leeanne Padowski supports her article with facts from studies surveys.

The article "Our Kids" by Robert D. Putnam, he explains how there increasing segregations and inequality in income, wealth and social mobility. The article "Pathway to economic mobility" by Stuart M.

In her article “Tattoos are no longer permanent but removal can be a long and costly business,” Victoria Lambert (2015) explains that tattoos can be removed with laser, an injectable liquid and surgery. However, the process for each option is not only time consuming, expensive, painful, but can also have severe consequences. Lambert points out that most people, a while after they have been tattooed, figure out the useless of their body art, and decide to pay any price to get them removed. He affirms that the laser option, in addition, to being expensive, extensive and painful, can also cause skin disorders with the uncertainty of complete removal. Lambert also claims that another possibility, which is the liquid injectable, is not efficient
My interviewer Nasratullah Akhunzada is an MMA fighter, leaving in Afghanistan under the culture that is against tattoos. He has artwork on his body that he can't erase. For him it was a nice piece of art and it was perfectly ok for him and it helps him feel beautiful in his own skin, but for other people it was trash. People tried to bring him down just because of his tattoos, he was not welcome to come into family parties because his family was embarrassed cause of his tattoos. His family was advised him to at least get his tattoos in a place where they can't be see, and his respond to them was “does hiding them mean they aren’t there? Does covering the tattoos on my body somehow fix everything and make me an okay person again? It doesn’t affect my personality, my intelligence, my ability to succeed, or my genetics at all actually. I’m still me with or without the tattoos” (Nasratulla). He had lots of tattoos on his arms and the picture of lion was tattooed on his chest, which he looked little bit tough, but actually we can’t Jude a person the way he look but we have to see a person from inside. From inside he was a good and intelligent
The option to get or not get a tattoo is a personal one. Many people have strong feelings about both sides. "Tattoos: The Ultimate In Expression" is better supported because it provides real-world scenarios from real people.
Tattoos have likely been at the top of the list as the most discussed topic amongst the different social classes. There is a divide between societies understanding of tattoos, those who oppose them identify tattoos as being a form of “taboo” and is associated with a type of body modification that is seen as distasteful in nature. Others believe tattoos are a form of one’s own self-expression. Although tattoos are subjective to each person, we should not completely rule them out altogether because they are perceived and sometimes deemed inappropriate, that is a form of stereotyping.
‘The tattoo’ is a novel which was written by Chris McKinney about a young adult named Ken ‘Kenji’ Hideyoshi who was sent to the Halawa Correctional Institute. Inside he tells his personal struggle of living life as a Japanese male brought up in Hawai’i, being exposed to poverty, colonialism, violence, urban gangs, and drugs. In this essay, I will argue that one can learn criminal and violent behaviour by those who they hold close interpersonal relationships with, for example, family and friends. In saying that, I will be using the social learning theory looking in particular at Edwin Sutherland and his notion of differential association and Akers concept of differential reinforcement to explore the relationship between Ken Hideyoshi and Koa Puana.
Tattooing is an ancient tribal tradition practiced by everyone but the Romans and Greeks. It can be a way of expressing one’s self, honouring someone, or telling a story. In Canada, thirty-eight percent of adults have at least one tattoo, that is approximately fourteen million people. Although people have positive reasons for getting tattoo’s, the health risks far outweigh them. Tattoo ink can cause allergic reactions and contribute to obtaining Hepatitis C virus (HCV). Because of the risks of infections, tattooing of the human body should not be practiced in our modern Canadian society.
Thesis Statement: People have different reasons for getting tattoos, but it does not matter what reason they have, good or bad, they will have to live with this decision for the rest of their lives.
I did not agree with this text at all. I think that the person who wrote this was trying to say that tattoos and body piercing are wrong, but he didn’t want to literally say that. He tiptoed around the issue so that all tattooed or pierced people appeared to be vain sinners.
Millions of people know the health risks of getting a tattoo, yet they still decide to go through with the process. According to Armstrong and Murphy, the most common health effects one can get from getting a tattoo are allergic reactions, infections, and blood borne diseases (Armstrong). The first step of the process is to make sure that all items being used are sterile and that the skin is clean. The small needle that is used to inject dye into the skin goes into the dermis layer. This penetration of the needle causes a wound and gets inflamed. Because of this, it is very important to take proper care of the tattooed area as it is healing (Aguirre). I believe that although this is a situation that can be hazardous, one should be able to
Tattoos are becoming a popular phenomenon that is seen everywhere. Today’s youth are getting permanent tattoos to be cool and trendy, but are not considering the long-term effects. Teenagers should be aware of all that body modification may include, it is not just a pretty picture. Adolescences must consider the dangers and conscientious result of attaining diseases, being underage, and having a permanent mark on their body.
