Document Summary
Disability rights movement (90s) ;dignity, respect and equal access. Tertiary deviance (success and perceived moral responsibility) Tertiary deviance gets us to rethink our ideas of how these groups are deviant. 90s to present: a widespread popularity occurred with tattoos. Crosses racial, ethnic, gender, economic lines etc. (tattooing was seen to cross these previous boundaries) Hollywood (the number of celebrities showing or getting tattoos made tattoos much more desirable) Stigma by association (older generation doesn"t approve) When you ask them why they don"t like it they"ll say things like the tattoo makes you look like a biker, gang members, tramp etc. There is an underlying pathology (people in the helping professions like counsellors, they think that the tattoo makes you seem mentally ill) The body as sacred (your body is a temple and you shouldn"t mess with it) Gender, femininity and beauty: females with tattoos means that they are less attractive, sexually promiscuous, heavy drinkers, mentally unstable.
