Well, I lied. They are ancient. They were sacred since the dawn of starlight.

The story goes on with an acquiescence that I have to
scratch my way through the challenges that pose throughout the events of
desires ravine; desires to be a “tatted man”.
Tatted good, tatted
desires fill!
The undying thirst
unquenched by an unfinished quest of a rockstar experience that could not be
lived “yet” and sanctities of the belief that tattoos have inspired throughout the
pages of history.
Having a tattoo is like “I’m sure of everything I am”.
From prince to princesses to priests
& prisoners, tattoos have dwell on all. In fact it arguably is one of the
oldest forms of art in documented history. Remnants of tattoo into an art form have
evolved over the sweep of civilizations dating back to early tribal aborigines
when scars in humans epitomized The Chieftain
cult.
Check out my latest post "When The World Holds Your Progress - You fight back and fuck 'em all!"
Tattoos are distinguishing marks that are often related in
weight of their acceptance or rejection of values in traditional Western or
Japanese culture while modern conceptions are identical to traditional Tahitian
tattoos because of their prominence in reflecting expressions of physical and
social interactions within the cross-sections of society.
Elizabeth M Rapp in her Senior Thesis "Stigmatization
or Decoration: Tattoo as Deviance, A Cross Cultural Study" brings to light
the Iceman mummy discovery in 1991 concluding affirmations to the practice of tattooing in the “iceman” age and describing it as the
art of placing ink under the skin to leave a permanent mark.
History is evident of a range of tools found by
archaeologists that were used for tattooing.

Excavations of tattooed mummies
from different regions of the world and tattoo-like marks found on statues.
Tattoos date back to varying time periods including the likes of
ancient Greeks and Romans.
Tattoos started with
a scar. The Chieftain cult!
According to an archaeological discovery in an ancient cave in Spain, history of tattoos can be traced back to over 40,000 years when people used bone needles to scrape colour patterns in the skin.
Centuries of
evolutions later, today tattoo artists use small electric machines with
sterilized needles to engrave tattoos and give you crafty body art forms for varying
state of expressions.

Tattoos in the
workplace // #T_Point Stories
Back at Tea-Point having said all this, notion of the hour
is about inhibition of a myth that the impression of Tattoos in the workplace
can sometimes be attitude unprofessionally. Google this phrase and the answer
will surprise that there is a notion about tattoos being deemed as an
unintended slur that may implicate your professional stride further implicating
scenarios for job seekers having to hide tattoos from the neck up.
Meaning of tattoos & their desired
expressions or bold style statement may vary from person to person. Two people
having similar tattoos may not necessarily intend the same meaning. For some
it’s a memoir for someone significant in their life while some may intend
tattoos as a reminder of a struggled past or where they came from, where they
are and where they are heading! Many mark a tattoo as a sense of belief

How does the physical act of tattooing reflect individual
adaptation to cultural beauty standards?
People in cultures all around the world “judge a book by its cover,” and
bodies, existing as they do in society, are one of the ways in which people
classify those around them.
Regardless of its origin, the primary focus of modern tattoos is
self-expression. Once seen as taboo in Western cultures, the stereotypes
associated with tattoos are slowly being disbanded and now accepted. In
the United States, Japan & Tahiti, Tattoos are said to be in a “renaissance
period” and gaining wide spread popularity although at one point of history
Western cultures deemed them as taboo.
If anything, tattoos are a modern adaptation of self-expression & the physical act of tattooing is a symbolism to freedom.
Tattoo issues for employers depend largely on what kind & where the tattoo is sported by employees and certainly the law tends to support employer dress code/appearance policies. Moreover employers branding image must be regulated with consistency by retaining flexibility in creating rules for their policies.
Consider it this way, a concierge of a four-star hotel with
large tattoos ok skulls & crossbones on the back of each hand will
implicate scenarios that might concern the management compared to a dishwasher
from the same hotel with the same tattoos due to lesser direct contact with the
hotel’s customers.
A survey conducted by Pew Research Centre on the perception
& implication of tattoos in the workplace offers the following interesting
statistics:
Nearly 40% of people who completed the survey between the
ages of 18 and 29 have at least one tattoo;

Walmart, doesn’t allow facial piercings but they do allow
tattoos provided they are not offensive. In case the tattoo is offensive then
they must cover them cover up properly during work hours.
