To paint your body or to have a tattoo can have many meanings, because you can have a tattoo that has a meaning for you or you culture or you can have a tattoo that is a requirement to enter in a crew, group or culture.
Tattoos are a type of art that you "print" in your body, you can have this art in you if you take the decision of having it for the rest of your life. If you take the decision of having a tattoo you will have to think if it has a meaning for you or not, because if you have a superficial tattoo you can get bored easily of it. Also some groups of people think that tattooing is an debauchery.
Also you have to deal with the discrimination of the people in the street. That group of people feel scared when a tattooed person is near, because they think that those people can act in a bad way.
