There was a time when tattoos were thought to be a passing trend but for some people tattoos have become an addiction. Some people are opting to be body-locked - covering their bodies from head to toe in tattoos. Some people think tattoos are a form of rebellion while others disagree, claiming it's an art form. Whichever you believe is up to you - whether or not these people are also locking themselves into a certain lifestyle or forever setting themselves up for stereotyping remains to be seen.
