Angelina’s Tattoos Help Remove Social Stigma
August 1st, 2008, All Angelina Jolie, Angelina Jolie tattoos,BBC reports that the stigma regarding tattoos are dramatically reducing, especially now that famous people like Angelina Jolie and David Beckham are sporting “artsy” and elegant tattoos that they’re proud of.
According to the editor of “Skin Deep Magazine” Neil Dalleywater, the popularity of the once-maligned tattoo has increased due to celebrity culture.
“You do tend to see a lot more ink on pop stars and film stars in the media. The social stigma of tattoos is breaking down although you still come across it in places but it’s becoming far more socially acceptable. Things have changed really with the technological advances and the artists have really come on,” he said.
“People are realising you don’t have to just have a swallow or an anchor, you can have beautiful fine art,” said Mr Dalleywater.
The Skin Deep has organized and sponsored a three-day convention called “Tattoo Jam” wherein artists from 150 countries are attending. It would be held at the Venue Cymru, Llandudno, from Saturday to Monday. If only Angelina Jolie can leave the house, I’m sure she’d be there.
