I found Atkinsons work interesting and easy to read. His methods of interviewing people helped to show individuality but also how some ideas were the same among different people. If I had enough time, I would\u2019ve loved to interview people with tattoos.\u00a0The idea that the process of tattooing as an important part seemed like a no-brainer to me. But perhaps it is because we have been discussing the importance of the pain and ritual-like process as part of getting a tattoo.\u00a0I thought the compilation of negative reaction interviews was the most interesting to read because its hard to think that people will end relationships because of tattoos they got on their own body (and maybe the tattoo itself? For example, I don’t think I could continue to be friends with someone with a rising sun or nazi symbol. )But breaking a friendship because jealousy or because it breaks the image you had of that person don’t seem like justifible reasons. In the end is all about the individuals’ beliefs and relationship with the tattooed person although sometimes the reactions seem to be out of nowhere. This reminded me of those tattoo shows where pairs choose tattoos for each other and they always end up being really bad in placement and imagery. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
