The art of tattooing has been practiced since 4000 BC in a variety of countries and cultures. Yet in todays society there are many people who belive in the stereotype of the tattooed as a young, working class male, or a hairy biker when the origins are vastly different . In reality this sterotype is now outdated, I have many friends (both genders of various age-groups and socio-economic backgrounds) who have or are choosing to get a tattoo.
It would be interesting to hear peoples opinions about the art of tattooing.
Or I could tell you about my tattoo's and you try and guess my age, socio economic background etc?
Any takers?

In one of his lyrics he sings about an old Stalinist who had a tattoo of Stalin on his upper arm. Most Russians go regularly to the sauna and this Stalinist loved to show his tattoo to his comrades. But when Stalin became disgraced, he became less comfortable with this tattoo.. So he decided to get it removed. But still, every time when he went to the sauna the removed tattoo flamed up and Stalin appeared again.
So think twice before you put a political leader on your shoulder 😉
