The art of tattooing has been around for centuries—the Aztecs, Incas and Mayans all adorned their bodies with permanent ink. In fact, before the wave of twenty-first century popularity largely influenced by Instagram, tattoos were used to represent battle victories, protective spirits, denote status and in some cases, to alleviate physical ailments like arthritis and other numerous other medicinal practices within certain cultures. However, throughout most of the twentieth century, the perception of people with visible tattoos as being ex-cons or gang members has stigmatized many who have them—making these individuals more suspicious to law enforcement and in the conservative corporate world, virtually unemployable. And while tattoos are still forbidden among certain religions, workplaces and households today, the ancient practice of tattooing isn’t exactly the symbol of defiant or edgy subculture it once was. People of all statuses, ages and races are getting inked and millennials have the most tattoos of any generation on record. From the meaningful to the beautiful to the bizarre, tattoos have been adopted as a 21st century identity statement—becoming more socially acceptable for both men and women with each passing decade.
