Reflectioninception.

Reflecting about the social issues about tattoos, piercings and dressing trends, I can understand in a better way the social, economical and even politic circumstances about them, because they not only represent a symbol of uniqueness between each individual, also can be a demonstration of their ideology and the beliefs they have. At the same time, these learnings gave me a wider panorama about the influence of the Western countries in Eastern ones, but also the rejections of those influences in the Middle-East and some religions. With this, the world remains, in a certain way, as a mixtures of all the cultures and ideologies, arts, and the daily life of every culture in the world.

Maybe right now those reflection have a too weak meaning, but if I relate it with some social and historic context, just like we analyze art, with a great amount of previous information to really understand the reason a specific type of trend or movement is realized. So, I think if we make a real analysis about them our thoughts would be more accurate according to tattoos and piercings, because now we can have a theory framework about this kind of manifestation in some groups.
