I agree with Beth. Each tattoo is an individual expression - and so is a
means of expressing uniqueness or alignment. Has anyone given thought to
whether being tattooed makes one a member of a subculture or whether being in
a sub-culture makes one more inclined to get a tattoo. Is a tattoo or a
piercing a mark of marginilazation in Western culture?
