Tattoos have been an art form and a very useful way for humans to produce a uniquely permanent message on their skin. Foss provides a broad definition of narration: "By narration I refer to a theory of symbolic actions-words and/ or deeds- that have sequence and meaning for those who live, create, or interpret them." Women have used tattoos in reasons of inspiration, faith, motivation, rebellion, and many other narrative passages. In different cultures around the world, people use forms of tattooing as traditional measures and symbolic means. Means that are based on leadership, maturing, inspiration, and definitive cultural signs. These cultural signs represents someones loyalty to a culture, group, gang, or society.
Why we judge?
Interestingly enough, even the placement of where a tattoo is marked is often judged by the onlooker. Why often do we often judge or emphasize what narrative messages actually say in the text rather than the person who uses the text as a pretext? Do we often judge the aura of a person, or even the character by what and where they tattoo on their body? For instance, tattoos such as the "tramp stamp," or the "tear drop," are a few examples of tattoos in which society tends to judge before actually knowing the meaning that is derived from the ink.
