Tattoos Rival Society Fashion
Tattoos seem to have everyone going in conflicting directions. Society’s sense of fashion is known to originate from the lower class imitating the wealthy upper caste such as famous celebrities on television, in the movies, and in the media limelight. However tattoos conflict society's natural cycle and rival fashion, as we know it.
While style trends stem from the upper class, high class society is also the reason fashion is fleeting. There is an enduring urge among upper society to distinguish superiority through appearances. So just as the lower class fashion followers begin imitating “the in” fad of society, the trend fades in the shadow of the next emerging fashion.
However, tattoo trends are a bit of a phenomenon, challenging ever sense and meaning of fashion. Tattoos, an ancient primitive practice originating from uncivilized cultures, are a means of distinguishing one’s outward appearance, be it to conform with or to stand out from society; yet tattoos are labeled as perhaps the largest fashion affair of all time.
When it comes to defining fashion, the trend is for society’s lower class to mimic the upper class, unless however referring to the fad of tattoos. When defining the tattoo fashion trend, celebrities, professional athletes, and the rest of the upper societal echelon owe thanks to the prostitutes, bikers, prison mates, and circus freaks deemed substandard, after all these are the original tattoo trendsetters, they have mimicked their fading tattoo fashions after.
