Tatoos

Years ago, if a young boy was a rebel he had a tatoo, but it was completely unheard of for a woman or young girl to have one. In this day and age it's completely different, of course, with both men and women of all ages engaging in all sorts of body art. However, I do think that yesterday's tatoos have become today's piercings, with the way forward in terms of teenage rebellion being in the area of piercings rather than tatoos: http://www.faqs.org/childhood/So-Th/Tattoos-and-Piercing.html. As it says on the website, as soon as tatoos became more common, it was no longer the choice for adolescents, and body piercings took over.
