Person May Have One Tattoo or Many

On the opposite end of the spectrum you will find members of the older generation who sometimes use tattoos to either recapture or attempt to hold onto their youth.

It's questionable as to whether those in this category do so for the artwork itself, or more for the environment of the tattoo studio, as most studios are clearly designed for the younger generation.

You can find quite a few older folks leafing through books of tattoo sten
cils alongside the younger crowd who are twenty or thirty years younger than themselves. This type of situation is at its oddest when the tattoo studio also doubles as a piercing parlor.

Certain groups also go for tattoos. While the practice used to be considered the arena of bikers and others of that element, they still hold quite a monopoly on the subject.

It is unlikely that you will ever find someone whose primary concern in life is his motorcycle who does not hold to the age-old tradition of acquiring tattoos to symbolize his number-one passion.

The person may have one tattoo or many; he may have done the artwork himself with a homemade machine or even plain needles, or he may have spent a considerable amount of money to have his tattoos done professionally; but whatever form the tattoos take, it is almost guaranteed that he will have them.
