I obviously agree with the fact that tattoos and piercings are simply a form of body art. And "why is that?" may you ask.
Well, first off let me make something clear to you dear reader: Nowadays tattoos are part of the bodies of thousands, so, of course there are several reasons for having a tattoo needled to your bare skin, not just art but simple images with special meaning to each customer. To sum up tattoos or piercings have different meanings to different people.
Although I am a fan of art as well as the culture behind its different shapes, I won't have any tattoos or piercings (put on) for the simple fact that I like my mutating body (from baby to oldman) just the way it is, and a change of this magnitude would alter my natural physical being for a few years but it wouldn't change with it, in other words, when I get old, my wrinkles will have modified my so called "work of art" and I will be naturally sorry. However, I do appreciate acknowledging a good artpiece on others' skin.
In fact, did you know that in Japan, yokuza members (japanese ancient as well as actual mafia), when killed, would be cut open, and their painted skin took off, and stored until today? You can nowadays see these masterpieces in art displays/ museums in Japan.
I think that we can, by this, conclude that, at least on the other side of the earth, tatoos are clearly a form of art, but also a piece of history, and a cultural trait in many civilizations since the days of yore.

I really love art, and my opinion about this theme is very simple: i disagree with people that think tattoos and piercings are a form of art. I think that opinion is so ridiculous!
ResponderEliminarFor me, art needs to be explain and thought, and is more than a beautiful tattoo or a amazing piercings. Art, is music, literature, painting, culture, physical performances and many others things. So, that is just my opinion now, because i know that my opinion can change, maybe with the life experience.

I agree. But a tattoo must be well thought before doing, because sometimes it can not pass from one stage of life or a whim. It is necessary that the individual is responsible to cope with the consequences.

I think that tattoos really are an art form, because there are some impressive tattoos out there. However, I think as good as these designs are, they should be used for something better than simply to be used in a body and losing value for it.
