Tattoos and Deviance
I read the article titled “Heavily Tattooed Students More Prone to Deviant Behaviors” by Thaddeus M. Baklinski. Just when looking at the title this makes me sick and it is so wrong on what they think of people who have tattoos. Just because you have tattoos, piercing s, or both, doesn’t make you a terrible person or deviant. I myself have two tattoos and nine piercings, so according to the study I’m going to express deviant behaviors. Do I think this article is fair to people with tattoos and piercings? No it is not. That when you have body art or piercings results in social deviance. In the article it talks about people with many tattoos or piercings are more likely to drugs and have many sex partners. In my opinion they are judging by what they see on the outside and not getting to know why the person has the tattoo or piercing. Isn’t our goal in life is trying to not judge people on the outside actually try to get to know them. This article I think contradicts this goal. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes, would you like having someone tell you that a tattoo or piercing you have are not important and going to cause deviance. What the other people don’t know how important it is to you. Most people have tattoos that symbolize something that happened in their life or something very important to them. Tattoos are a way to express you. Don’t let others judge you on what you look like. Don’t listen to them when they say that tattoos and piercings make you a bad person. Tattoos and piercings don’t make you deviant.
