"Ink Coporated"

Question 1:
What are some reasons stated in the article why some people choose to have body art like tattoos or piercings done on parts of their body.

Those people wanted to be unique and special compared to the others, they also want to express themselves.

Question 2:
(a) What are some impressions you would form of a person whose body is covered with tattoo?

I will think that that person is a gangster, that is commonly found on gangsters. My view towards them is a negative view, normally people will shun or avoid people whose body is covered with tattoo. Perhaps having a small one that is not so noticable is ok but not those which cover the whole body/arm/leg.

(b) Would you consider getting a tattoo in future? Why?

I will not want to get a tattoo in my entire life. From my view of point, I do not want people to think that I'm a gangster or even avoid me. Removing a tattoo is not easy too, it may cause more pain compared to drawing a tattoo. It may not be good for health too, because it is drawn on the skin, so it may cause some skin problems and it is very troublesome.
