Tattoos: Should I or Shouldn't I?: The health & social impact of permanent body art.

Tattoos are very popular these days, in fact over 45 million Americans have at least one tattoo. Many people, however, don't consider the issues involved with the tattooing process, as well as the medical and social implications thereafter. In this book, the author looks at a number of fascinating phenomena, including: • Why tattoos are so popular; • Are tattoos addictive; • What social implications need to be considered; • What are the real health risks involved. Tattoo wearers are also seeing social pressure in the form of workplace discrimination, tattoo regret, changes in self perception, and for some, tattoo removal. Tattoos: Should I or Shouldn't I? examines these and other issues so the reader can make an informed decision they won't later regret.
