In order to determine where I'd like to take this project I have researched and uncovered some reasons and justifications that people have for getting tattoos. I found more information on this than anticipated so have extracted some of the key points to help me decide where I'd like to take the assignment.
Reasons for getting tattoos:
- attention
- self-expression
- artistic freedom
- rebellion
- personal narratives
- reminders - people, past, sayings
- spiritual/cultural traditions
- sexual motivation
- addiction
- impulsiveness
- social branding
- to promote identity
- affiliation/identification with a group
- to tell stories
- to hide behind
- feeling unique as an individual
- aesthetics - beauty, fashion, art
- for a feeling of control
- anchoring ones self
- physical endurance
- adrenaline
- resistance/protest
