Deviance

The article that showed up on google first, when I searched for articles about deviance was ”Heavily Tattooed Students More Prone to Deviant Behavior”. This article talks about how students who have more piercings and tattoos are more prone to be involved with drugs, alcohol, and other things that can get them in trouble with the law. The study also states that kids who had four or more tattoos, seven or more body piercings, and or one intimate piercing are the most likely to have been arrested for drugs and alcohol, cheat on school work and have multiple sexual partners. It also talks about how people  with small tattoos such as a rose or dolphin or something innocent are people who are less rebellious and less likely to have problems with the law, whereas kids with full arm sleeves, or huge back tattoos have a higher percentage than those with none or a few. The study showed that over a third of the people interviewed were pierced, and about half of those people had tattoos, and about a fourth of those had multiple piercings and tattoos. He also states that tattoos and piercings were not as popular back in the day, but have now become a thing of the present. More and more kids are finding it socially acceptable to go and get a tattoo or a piercing these days, and they is nothing we can do to stop it. I myself, don’t think that getting a tattoo is a bad thing, but I do think it is a little over board when someone does, for example, get a full arm tattoo, or a giant back or chest tattoo.
