There have been so many preconceptions about tattoos in the past. Actually,the preconceptions or should I say misconceptions are still there in the minds of people. Maybe its because the way Hollywood portrayed film baddies, who would have tattoos to add to their menacing character. We can already see how this has changed and now lots of celebrities( especially the younger ones) proudly show off their latest tattoo designs.

Two celebrities that are known to have tattoos and body art are Robbie Williams and David Beckham. Williams prefers to select tattoos based on their artistic merit, while on the other hand, Beckham’s are a public statement of love for his family.

No matter what your views are about tattoos or body art, you cant dispute their contribution to modern art. At the very top end of the tattoo profession, a handful of skilled and experienced tattooists compete for the major tattoo body art awards which shows that tattoos are very much a part of the mainstream.
