They are ubiquitous, having entered the circles of glamour and the mainstream of fashion, and they have even become an ingcreasingly common feature of our urban youth. Legislation in most states restricts professional tattooing to adults older than 18 years of age.tattooing is rare in children and adolescents, but such tottoos are occasionally seen in older teenagers. Piercings, by comparison as well as self made or “ jailhouse “ type tattoos, are not all rare among adolescents or even among school-age children. Adolescents and their parents are often at odds over the acquisition of bodily decoration. For the adolescent, piercing or tattoos may be seen as personal and beautifying statements, while parents may construe them as oppositional and enraging affronts to their authority. Tattoos and piercing can offer a concrete and readily available solution for many of the identify crises and conflicts normative to adolscent development.

Q : what are negative aspects of tattoos itself ?
A : I myself see tattoos from my perpective and I against tattoos because it is a permanent action that may be regretted later in life. I still can not accepted the reason why people would want to put tattoos on their skin because one you put tattoos and probably you want it again and again. Then I also think about later in life maybe you want a job where the boss does not think tattoos are appropiate. Then for body we never know when and how we can get infection such as allergic, scarring and many other and even go to HIV and hepatitis due to re-use of needles from maybe the lack of proper equipment and illegal tattoo parlors, then go to environment and society not all people can accepted people with tattoos in their skin and probably see them as a criminal.

A : why adolescents would want to get tattoos it comes from many factors and reasons . is more likely to feel they need to express their emotions. One of the common reasons that people get tattoos is to show something is important to them or to generally express themselves. This is also likely an evolutionary phenomenon too, seeing as teenagers will need to form their own social groups as they enter adulthood. If a teenager wants to fit in with a group who all also have tattoos then, the pressure to get one will be especially strong. In short friends and environment hold the big roles in this step.
Q : Is that tattoos are more popular with unstable people ?
A: unstable person is person with bad temper that can explode or flare up with no provocation at all. According to article that I have red people may be getting tattoos because they want stability. Yes tattoos are stable, I suppose because they very hard to get rid of. But I really dont see how anyone would think thattattoo would be a way to feel more stable. It seems to me that tattoos are more way of expressing your individuality than of trying to fit in and be stable. I would see tattoos as isolating people who have them from certain parts of society.
Consclusions :
Tattoos now are popular with adolescents. Why because tattoos may gives a sense of control over their bodies at a time when most physical changes that are happening to them cannot be controlled, and many other reason. And tattoos has broght many problems besides of problems between family and parents but also from self-mutilation and healthiness. in fact many illness comes from the re-use of needles. The desire for this kind of permanence may come from the incresingly lack of stability in our society. Tattoos is permanent action that may be regretted later in life.
