Use to be a brotherhood symbol strongly associated with triad, gangsterism and ex-prisoner. For a time it was consider a status symbol for triad leader. Dragons, phoenix and all things nasty and evil were tattooed on the whole body. Every single exposed skin was not spared. The more tattoo you have the more fearless you are. It uses to have so much meaning. Commoner are always afraid of meeting people with tattoo. Cops will pull off anyone with body tattoo to check them physically on the street. Cops can identify ex-prosoner or triad member easily just by looking at their body tattoo and to find out which group they are from.

Now, moving forward after many years, tattoo are no longer associated with all the above. Now kids, teenager and even curious adult are having the tattoo embed onto their arms, shoulder, body and backside just for the fun of it. It is no longer shun upon but admire as a body art and it is cool to be assoiciated with any tattoo. Some are very tastefully done with great skills and meticulously while others are cheapskate and shabby.

Recently, I joined my wifey to watched a Taiwanese comedy series and there was this hunk (u know how all women drool over them) who has very good physique and therefore with the addition of an arm tattoo, it really looks cool. So as I was thinking about the tattoo on his arm, it hit me that the symbol and representation tattoo has over societies has evolve tremendously. Many celebrities are actually giving the tattoo craze some free marketing and promotion. Since these very celebrities are idolized by thousand and thousand of fans, sooner or later they will follow what their idol does. Hence, the transition of tattoo being associated with bad boy image to cool and hip is really remarkable. In the present environment, tattoo is now being promoted from craze to fine arts. More and more people are going for tattoo and with special graphics and images. I find women having a tattoo near their navel, their back/shoulder or around their backside as very sexy. It really turns me on.

Nevertheless, there is always a risk factor there. This tattooing craze will go off just a matter of time. In addition, it does look cool to have one on the back when you are young but what happens when you get older. Freckles, wrinkles and etc will look bad on those tattoos. Think about it.
