.......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.
