learned info from tattoo paper

I have been doing a paper on Broad Street Tattoo in Bridgewater,MA. This paper was mainly focused on finding out why people get tattoos wither it be for a symbol of something, cause you like the art or you just want to get because it "cool".  While doing this paper I realized almost immediately that probably 60% of people get tattoos cause they are cool or in fashion. But that is for now, through history the majority of people have into tattoos for a symbol. Who knows maybe in the future people will get them for a different reason all together. it will be interesting to find out where the art of tattooing takes off to next.
