First, uncover the mystery of tattoos.
Tattooing is to use ink to pierce the bottom of the skin, make some patterns or characters on the skin, and embroider various patterns on the body to show auspiciousness and worship. Tattoos, commonly known as tattoos, are called nirvana in ancient classical Chinese. They paint an ideal picture on people's monotonous skin, become the eternity of life, and keep memories as the most beautiful picture in life. It is not the exclusive symbol of bad people. The pattern of tattoo, whether it is words or patterns, is always to please yourself and others, no matter where the tattoo is. Some people say that tattoos are a symbol of beauty, mystery, sexiness and charm, a vivid expression of unique personality and self, and a manifestation of personal beliefs. Many people fall in love with this painful beauty and carve tattoos on themselves. Let yourself have a new hope, a new sustenance and a new beginning. (from 360 Encyclopedia)
Second, Fiona Fang, what do you think of tattoos?
1. From a health point of view: medical experts point out that tattoos are easy to have adverse effects on the health of teenagers. Tattooing a tattoo on a human body with a needle tip is harmful to skin cells and nerve cells. Skin is the first line of defense of human body, which can resist the injury of external mechanical, physical and chemical stimuli and the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms. Tattoos damage the skin and easily lead to bacterial infections, such as furuncle, carbuncle, erysipelas, impetigo and so on. If the wound area is large, the bacteria are highly toxic, and even grow and multiply in the blood, they will suffer from septicemia, which is life-threatening. Most tattoo artists don't know medicine, and disinfection is not strict or not at all. When the needle tip pierces the skin, bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms are brought into the body, which can spread many diseases, such as tuberculosis, hepatitis B, AIDS and leprosy. There are many kinds of pigments for tattoos, many of which are chemicals. These chemicals can cause dermatitis and allergies after entering the human body, causing local itching and pain. According to research, tattoo pigments specially used for tattoos contain heavy metals such as lead and chromium and other compounds. These colored chemical synthetic substances are potentially harmful to people's health and are one of the factors that induce skin cancer, which will lead to cell mutation and canceration. In addition, at present, there is no specific medicine for tattoo removal, and only plastic surgery or laser tattoo washing can be used. Plastic surgery will leave ugly marks or even scars. Laser tattoo washing takes 3 to 5 courses, which means it will take more than half a year to fade obviously.
2. From a psychological point of view, tattoos reflect people's psychological needs, which are not well recognized from the perspective of mainstream social values. As a personal hobby, this subculture is allowed to exist, but it is not suitable for popularization, especially among teenagers. Nowadays, a small number of middle school students get tattoos to relieve stress, and many of them are a way to relieve anxiety and depression. Tattoos sometimes represent a belief of the parties and are used to motivate and remind themselves. For example, the "LD" on Dānlín's back neck represents his own sports brand; A string of five-pointed stars on the left arm represents a slam; The cross on his left arm represents his Christian grandmother; The double F in the right arm is the love for his wife Xie (Fangfang); "Until the End of the World" on the right arm is the ending song of the slam dunk master, representing the loyalty to badminton and Xie. For example, ZhangJike's tattoo is the one on the top of his chest. The English word "unbreakable" represents ZhangJike's confidence: "I am invincible". The tattoo on the back is in the shape of a pair of unfolded wings, and under the unfolded eagle wings is written "Persistence" (Chinese means "Persistence"). ZhangJike said, this tattoo is to spur yourself at any time, remind yourself to fly higher, and firmly believe that I have this ability, so I tattooed this eagle. "The tattoo under the armpit is ZhangJike's most memorable, and it is a row of dates. This is the day when Grandma ZhangJike was born and died. The tattoo on the right arm is a dove of peace. These tattoos are all the feelings that ZhangJike wanted to pin and express in a certain period of time, which is of great significance to him! At present, among teenagers, most of them are male tattoos, mainly out of curiosity and conformity.
3. From the legal point of view: the law does not prohibit it, so it is not illegal. The law does not encourage it, so it cannot be said that it is an act protected by law. There is no mandatory provision for tattoos in Chinese law, but some work units, such as conscription and state enterprises and institutions, refuse to recruit people with tattoos. As a civil act, freedom is not prohibited by law. However, if the person who goes to the store to get a tattoo is a minor, such as 16 years old or older and 18 years old or younger, he is still legally a person with limited capacity. If the shop gives him a tattoo, his parents will still be in trouble. Because he has no right to control his body. So this question is actually a question of capacity. Tattooing is not illegal, but it is not recommended.
4. From the perspective of artistic aesthetics, tattoo is a very ancient art form. With the rapid development of tattoo technology, the style of tattoo is constantly changing and updating. Chinese painting emphasizes verve, while western painting emphasizes likeness. Tattoos with traditional Chinese painting style tend to reflect the artistic beauty of works. Many tattoo styles reflect the artistic beauty. More and more people who love beauty begin to try tattoos. In today's society, tattoos are no longer regarded as a sign of bad people, but increasingly become a fashion, an art and a culture, and gradually become a way for new and new people to show their individuality.
5. From the perspective of traditional culture, the origin of tattoos in China can be traced back to 3,500 years ago, when they were used as punishment, called ink punishment. Because ancient people had a deep concept that "parents are parents of the body", cutting hair was a punishment, not to mention tattooing indelible words or patterns on the body. For example, in the Qin Dynasty, the word "Cheng Dan" was tattooed on the faces of those who built the Great Wall to tell others that they had built it. Most of the characters in Water Margin are in prison, and the prison authorities tattoo everyone's face to prevent escape (such as tattooing Youzhou). The history of tattoos is bumpy. Since human beings have tattoos, except for religious tattoos, folk tattoos and other group tattoos, other tattoos have received different views and comments.
6. From the perspective of moral education management, most parents, as well as elders and the older generation, will oppose tattoos. They think that the quality of tattooed objects is not good, and tattooing is a dirty industry. Many family members are strongly opposed to tattoos by anyone in their family. In school management, most teachers feel that the influence of tattoos is subtle, and students may follow suit when they see it. The student group has not really entered the society, and the way of thinking will be biased in some aspects. As a student, some habits of getting involved in society too early will bring troubles to his later life, so he thinks that students should not get tattoos at will. The school doesn't agree with students' tattoo behavior, for fear of affecting the school spirit and study style.
I think of an ancient story of "the blind man touching the elephant", which tells that the blind man touched different parts of the elephant and thought that the whole elephant was the way he touched it. This kind of example often happens when people know things. Observing the experimental conclusion from a certain angle and reasoning, everyone is one-sided. This tells us that it is not enough to understand from one angle, but from different angles. Before the online discussion, my first reaction to students' tattoos was to ban middle school students' tattoos and mobilize them to get rid of them. This may be the significance of the discussion: you have an apple, I have an apple, and we exchange with each other, just an apple; You have an idea, I have an idea, and when we exchange ideas with each other, there are two kinds of ideas. Professor Liu Lianghua of East China Normal University quoted Hu Shi's view that tolerance is more important than freedom, and drew the conclusion that tolerance and diversity are more important than the pursuit of truth.
