National Tattoo Day

 

July 17th is a day that more people in America have been celebrating in recent years: National Tattoo Day! If you have ever contemplated marking yourself, today would be the opportune time. Tattoos can have deep philosophical meaning to those who decide to brand themselves, and tattoos can also be horrible reminders of a youthful decision.  Whether you have both of your sleeves covered, or a tiny Hello Kitty creeping up your ankle, you can never have too many or too little of tattoos.

Tattoos are considered more socially acceptable in America than ever before. It is no longer a dealer closer once your employer finds out about that sail boat tattoo on your chest or bicep. The placement of tattoos have seemed to crawl up on to people’s faces more than ever as well, which is totally a great thing for social acceptance and tolerance activists. Whether it is right or wrong to have a symbol embedded onto yourself, body art continues to be one of the most polarizing discussions we have in society. It is such a subjective topic that even our world’s religious practices have different opinions on how tattoos should be used and treated.

Be sure to catch the television series “Skin Deep”, which is currently being distributed by World Wide Motion Pictures Corporation. The series gives the audience an inside view on the life of these talented individuals who pursue body art as a profession and a lifestyle. Even if you don’t have a tattoo, they can still be very interesting to look at if you give them a chance.
