Celtic Tattoos and the Mainstream
By CUCSA in Society | 0 comments
When it comes to tattoos, there are many statistics that are for the most part positive. Whereas tattoos used to be synonymous with antisocial behavior it is now known that approximately forty million individuals in the United States alone have at least one tattoo. Another study shows that less than twenty percent of tattooed individuals regret their decision. This is largely because of adverse reactions to the procedure, although a small percentage admits their regret over making a rash decision. Though different styles of heart tattoos are popular options for men and women, many tattoo artists agree tribal designs tend to be the most sought after pieces.
Because of military actions in recent history, the number of cross tattoos used to memorialize lost loved ones has markedly risen as well. Tattoos have become a very personal way to honor the memory of events in a person’s life as well. It is believed that this is the reason tattoos have become so well accepted by the mainstream. Whereas a tattoo on teachers or other authority figures would have at one time been considered scandalous, it is not uncommon to now see dragon, butterfly and even Celtic tattoos on individuals from all walks of life.
