Tattoos are ancient form of body art which have different meanings in different cultures and societies; a tattoo is a mark of tribal membership, gang membership, identification, a fashion statement and self expression, amongst other interpretations. Tattoos have both negative and positive associations; however, in recent years, a tattoo has become more socially acceptable for a woman, despite traditional connotations.

Negative Associations of Tattoos

Tattoos have traditionally been the domain of men from ancient Maori tribes to soldiers and sailors; women who defied social convention and got a tattoo were often labeled as a 'prostitute' or a 'loose' woman. Many women used to get tattoos to appease a lover; however, the trend is changing, particularly in North America, and more and more women are now displaying tattoos on various parts of their bodies, through personal choice.
