Introduction
We usually remember past history and associate tattoos with bikers, sailors and criminals, but today, tattoos can also be considered as fashion, aesthetics and art. A general acceptance of tattoos is on the rise in western countries, although in some communities, it is still seen as a negative practice. Females have in recent years become more visible in the industry, and more women are tattooed. It can be estimated that 15% of women are tattooed in contrast with 13% of men. As a result, the industry is more open and not as ‘dangerous' as it once was.
In today's society, individuals can build their own status and identity because they are no longer born into a social status. In the pursuit of finding their identity, a lot of young people choose to get a tattoo. People from all parts of society are tattooed, including lawyers, doctors, priests, and nurses. Some consider that tattoos are for those who live on the edge, but they are so much more than risky behaviour and social stigma. They still involve identity and communication but also can represent art and fashion.
The reasons for getting tattooed are many. A tattoo can be a symbol of both individuality and group affiliation. From a psychological point of view, the reasons for getting a tattoo are complex. The industry is constantly being analysed by social anthropologists, psychologists, media scholars and art historians, and the results of these analyses can be as individual as the reasons why people get tattooed. However, tattoos are mainly acquired simply for the sake of vanity. Every individual has his or her own reason for getting tattooed. Two people can choose the same design and have totally different reasons as to why they want to have that particular design. Tattoos show us that today's society is free, diverse and constantly changing. We have attempted to divide tattoos into 4 main groups as follows: healing, affiliation, art and fashion.
