Abstract
The status of tattooing is changing, and it should be reexamined. Tattoos make statements about affections, allegiance, defiance, or sexual preference, or are simply "body art." Insoluble particles are injected and phagocytosed by dermal cells. In an unpublished survey of 10,000 randomly selected U.S. households in 1990, 3 percent of the population and 5 percent of the men had tattoos. Tattooing is increasing rapidly, according to the sales of ink.1 Some tattoos are deeply regretted; however, career-oriented women appear satisfied with their tattoos.2
