Implications - Tattoo art is an undying and growing art form. Where it was once perceived as a taboo form exclusively for miscreants and deviants, it is now seen as one of the most acceptable forms of self expression. As a result, the variety of tattoos available is expanding rapidly to reflect a broader range of personal styles and interests. From pop culture tattoo-inspired by song lyrics, fictional characters and icons to patriotic ones, the range of options is infinite.
