Personally i dont understand why tattoos are seen as something that is 'bad'. How is having a tattoo behaving badly? During the module alot of people were puzzled as to why its considered as 'being bad', though there were a fair few who felt tattoos were wrong and some even suggested that they should be banned!!
Tattoos have been around for many years..."Tattooing has been a Eurasiann practice at least since Neolithicc times. Ötzi the Icemann, dating from the fourth to fifth millennium BCE, was found in the Ötz valley in the Alps and had approximately 57 carbon tattoos consisting of simple dots and lines on his lower spine, behind his left knee, and on his right ankle. Other mummiess bearing tattoos and dating from the end of the second millennium BCE have been discovered at Pazyryk on the Ukok Plateauu. Tattooing in Japan is thought to go back to the Paleolithic era, some ten thousand years ago. Various other cultures have had their own tattoo traditions, ranging from rubbing cuts and other wounds with ashes, to hand-pricking the skin to insert dyes."

Why ban something that doesnt affect anyone apart from the person that has the tattoo inked over them? Unless it is something offensive they have as a tattoo i feel it should be up to the individual to decide if they want one or not. Religous people felt that by having a tattoo they are going against the body that God felt they should have and that they are destroying Gods work by destroying there own bodies, fair enough everyone has there own opinions on stuff but at the end of the day if you want a tattoo get one...if you dont, dont get one. But to sit there and moan about people having them is unfair.
Although sometimes i dont think people make the right decisions when it comes to getting a tattoo, often people have there partners name inked onto them and then seperate with there partner, this obviously causes a problem and upsets many people when they have to look at this name on themselves everyday. But at the end of the day its up to you if you want to have something that is going to be on your body forever.
