Tattoo Taboo

Tattoos cause mixed opinions everywhere, no matter what country you’re in but I was surprised when I was met with such a firm opinion from the Chinese that if you have tattoos you are a gangster. I don’t think they were calling me a gangster but strongly standing behind that tattoos aren’t for people like us, only bad men. It was a strange opinion to meet. This wasn’t an opinion of whether they personally just did or did not like tattoos. ‘Tattoos are for gangsters’. Fact. Everyone was joined on this opinion making it, in my mind, not a personal opinion but a prejudice that is instilled in them from their culture. Another reason I should keep my body covered in layers during the sunny days.
