Doing a Study on Tattoos
Posted by HomeBiz on 07/22/08 in Society
For my Masters degree in sociology, I have decided to take a different path for my thesis. Most of my colleagues will be studying cultures and their behaviors, whereas I will be taking a look at the reason that people choose the Tattoo designs that they do.
The methodology that I am using in my research is to talk to as many people as I can that have tattoos and I get their stories as to why they chose the designs that they have. It has definitely been an interesting study and I have seen a wide variety of tattoos and stories to go along with them.
The most common designs have been skull tattoos and fairy tattoos. I have also discovered that there is no really consistent pattern to the size or location of the tattoos. Some people get small ones to hide them from the public eye, whereas others are much larger, meant to attract attention.
I still have to get more samples and stories before I can start to work on my thesis. Hopefully, I will be able to defend my paper as early as December – it will be nice to be finally done. Writing research papers can get tiring.
