.......Tattoo
is a traditional art form spread over many cultures and societies. There is
evidence of tattoo 12,000 years before Christ. This art form has spanned across
different cultures, and carried with it different meanings. Associated with
elitist, and even sometimes eroticism, the meaning of this art form continues
to transform. Tattoo traveled to American society and became a popular art of
the elite. Soon electric tattooing made the art affordable and the elite's saw
little reward in wearing something that was affordable to the average person.
Tattoo changed from elegant to deviant almost over night. The art began to define
different social classifications and values in American society.
