it is unprecedented that tattoos have become a huge part of todays society and has grown enormously in popularity in recents years .. some of the research into the types of people show that people from all walks of life and professions have tattoos. old, young, male, female, doctors, dentists, police men etc
the perception of tattoos is changing and the stigma attached is growing smaller and smaller.
in years gone by tattoos were seen as rebellious and those who had them would not have considerable jobs in the community however as shown in the pictures this has changed , doctors who save live have tatoos, mothers have tattoos, grandmothers have tattoos, old young and everything in between.
tattoos are seen as fashionable and alot of people get them for this reason or other reasons such as personal.
my aim was to focus on derry to develop a statistic of why people have them
