There was a time when tattoos were thought to be a passing trend but for some people tattoos have become an addiction. Some people are opting to be body-locked - covering their bodies from head to toe in tattoos. Some people think tattoos are a form of rebellion while others disagree, claiming it’s an art form. Whichever you believe is up to you - whether or not these people are also locking themselves into a certain lifestyle or forever setting themselves up for stereotyping remains to be seen.

Once thought of as a passing trend, body tattoos remain more popular than ever. And a big part of the customer base is repeat customers. Is body art like any other addiction, where more has just got to be better? These people are not rebels. They are not masochists. They have just found something utterly compelling in the process and outcome of needles injecting tiny droplets of ink into images and patterns on the skin. (goncharka)
