years. Based on the discovery of tattoos on mummies and other historical records, tattooing is believed to have existed since Bronze Age. The practice of tattooing was followed by various cultures from ancient Egypt to Japan, Greece, Rome, Polynesian islands, and Americas before getting infused into the modern Western culture. Tattooing has held various meanings and purposes during different times. Some of the main reasons for getting tattooed were, these represented the identity of a cultural group; to show affiliation to religious, cultural, social or professional groups; to show masculinity and strength; for medical reasons; for punishing convicts and rebels; for branding slaves; and for self-expression.

Piercing skin repeatedly with a sharp needle dipped in ink sounds like it would deter people from attaining tattoos, but humans have been tolerant of this pain since the beginning of time. In fact, the Egyptians started tattooing around 4000 B.C (Lineberry). To create a tattoo, a needle has to pierce the second layer of skin known as the dermis (Noonan). After that, ink is rubbed into these pinpricks and the design should be covered, otherwise an infection may set in, seeing as the end result is very similar to an open wound (Noonan). This slightly complicated process did not stop our inked ancestors, though. In Cassandra Franklin- Barbajosa’s article, she notes that the earliest tattooed person was found

In the story “The Plastic Pink Flamingo: A Natural History”, Jennifer Price explains the influence of “plastic pink flamingo phenomenon.” Furthermore, she also delineates the lavish nature of real flamingos. However, Price’s purpose is not to enlighten the readers of either real or artificial flamingos. In fact, Price attempted to introduce her own view of the United States culture. By talking about these plastic flamingos, she gets a point a crossed to the readers. Price has incorporated certain rhetorical devices, such as strong diction, anecdotes, rhetorical questions, and irony to reinforce her arguments about the United States.

Tattoos have played a role in human societies since their inception, as pieces of cultures and rituals across the world. To many, having a tattoo is an outward way of expression. However, the prejudice have not disappeared and are still greatly diminishing. In the article Inked Well, David Kirby examines the aspects of tattoo’s history, as well as tattoo’s iconic popularity among today 's middle class. Kirby’s stereotypical views on the tattooed “victims” quickly change as he goes on to interview some local tattooes of Tallahassee, Florida.

Here’s my interpretation of Ligua’s current situation, She is the head of her households, a student who needs to work hard to pay for her tuition and feed her kids. She lives in an environment of small-minded people; her neighbors are her social barriers. Social barrier refers to those factors that are external to her and impede her focus on improving her life or become successful. Her neighbors are caught up in their own thinking that they cannot see the value of exploring other ways of life. Clearly, the community where she lives has adapted a prejudice lifestyle, the people she associates with are afraid of change. The culture she’s at evolves with Ethnocentrism - It means not realizing the challenge when it influences

Teenagers are dangerous, rebellious, and mischievous due to their brain not fully developed. They’re reckless and have a higher chance of doing something bad, but technology such as neurology can help explain the reason behind their behaviour.

If minors were able to get tattoos whenever they want without parent permission tattoo parlors would make a lot more money. It will also give people less of a reason to complain about it. When a tattoo has a special meaning that stands for something close to a person’s heart it is more than just an ink stain on their skin.According to studies about 10% of teenagers in the U.S. have a tattoo which is a significantly higher number than it was ten years ago.Tattooing can be considered a permanent and slightly painful art form or a senseless ink stain. Everyone has their own opinion about teens getting tattoos but at the end of the day the opinion that really matters is the teens because they are the ones that are going to have to live with their tattoo for the rest of their life.

When someone mentions tattooing or tattoos, the first reason that comes to mind as to why someone would get a tattoo is that it was done for the aesthetic appeal, as a sort of piece of art done on the body, but now after looking at it using sociological imagination perspective, I realise that tattoos have very different meanings to those who have them. Some people do in fact choose to get tattoos solely for the aesthetic appeal, however there a great deal of more who get tattoos for other reasons.

He explains that the tattoo is a readily solution for confused adolescents, and a search for their identity. Martin also states that teenagers sometimes get tattoos as a basis of permanent remembrance, or as an evidence of a bond. He also states that since tattoos are permanent they can be a source of grounding unlike the current relationships of society. The article provides the idea of why teenagers would be anxious to have tattoos and at the same time allows parents and psychologist to be able to stand on their side and understand the position they are

Josie Appleton’s piece opens with her introducing the fact that body modification has lost its mark of being taboo. Appleton then transitions into describing the different kinds of people that modify their bodies and why they do it. The fact that people used to mostly use tattoos to identify with a group and are now using them to define themselves is heavily enforced. The rest of the piece describes in great detail the different ways people use piercings and tattoos to better understand themselves and mark important milestones. The piece concludes with Appleton claiming that body modification should only be for fashion, because bringing significance to it causes problems.

Dubois also proposes a solutions to the Black community. For Du Bois, education is very important for black folk. In the society where  racism exist, education is the path to freedom. Educated folks will know how to lead the community to gain rights. Dubois come to this solutions with the approach of pragmatism.  Pragmatism is the philosophical doctrine that rejects the quest for fundamental foundational truths and abstract philosophical systems. Pragmatists argue that practical consequences are the criteria of knowledge, meaning and value. Dubois using pragmatism to  approach to the problem of race. He suggests that by using pragmatist principles, we can arrive at the truth regarding race relations by seeing the injustice of racism and promoting social change. In his address during the Niagara Movement, Dubois emphasize that    “ And when we call for education, we mean real education. We believe in work. We ourselves are workers, but work is not necessarily education. Education is the development of power and ideal.We want our children trained as intelligent human beings should be, and we will fight for all time against any proposal to educate black boys and girl simply as servants and underlings, or simply for the use of other people. They have a right to know, to think, to aspire.”

The practice of modifying one’s skin as a means of expression has been active for as long as 5300 years (Haskings-Winner, Collichaw, Kritzer, & Warecki, 2011). However, in modern day societies the stigma against body modification, including tattoos is still prevalent. To understand why people of a North American influence would subject themselves to this potential undermining, one must first uncover what motivates a person to permanently enhance their skin. Primarily, research into the topic, history, traditions, modern meanings, was conducted using printed resources, online databases, and online-published journals. Notes and condensed summaries of said research was used to create survey questions and a general audience was decided. Once the survey was conducted, the results were tabulated and analysed so that a conclusion could be determined. In this study, southern Canadians are questioned about their motivations to get tattoos, and results are compared to ancient tattoo traditions from other cultures to conclude that southern Canadians, more often than not, do attach profound personal meaning to their tattoos.

Tattoos played a major role in gender discrimination as well and incited cultural discourse and anxiety in society. In the Modern Era, in the USA, especially after World War II when women became involved in the home-front jobs, they started to break away from the traditional stereotypical woman image by getting tattoos; this created much anxiety in society, because it was bringing into question the separation between a burly, working man’s and a delicate, housekeeping woman’s disposition. After the sexual revolution in the 60s, “tattoos were… resurrected in the counterculture by women who were rethinking womanhood” (Mifflin 55). The Modern Era was the era of skepticism about occupations and responsibilities, like who should be the breadwinner
