In the book Tattoos on the Heart by Gregory Boyle, Fr. Boyle exemplified and depicted the moral of “the power of boundless compassion” for his love with the homies. Through obtaining an upbeat attitude of never giving up, believing and forgiving the homies, having infinite patience, giving ceaseless chances, and evangelizing the light of Christ, Boyle has the power to change the homies’ lives for the better. Moreover, Boyle acts as Jesus, lighting the path through the darkness to those who need it most. Consequently, Boyle is, in some ways, sent to the homies by the Holy Spirit to guide them to the right path by the power of boundless compassion.…

People are entitled to have their own opinion about tattoos but it does not give anyone the right to discriminate against those that have them. Tattoos have a very distinctive meaning to each individual person. The definition given in the dictionary of a tattoo is “an indelible mark or figure fixed upon the body by insertion of pigment under the skin or by production of scars.”(1) The definition given in the dictionary is more of a literal meaning but it does not give off a negative association with them. Many people would correlate that a person with a tattoo is either in a gang or a convicted felon. You will not find out the meaning of a person’s tattoo just by looking at it, you have to interact with that person and have them explain it. Over the years, the viewpoints of people with tattoos continued to change. A lot of ideas arouse whether or not tattoos should be able to visible in the work place. As stated before, tattoos hold a different value or meaning to every single person. You cannot single out a person and judge them just because they decided to be expressive and show a different side of their selves by using art. To get an impression of how people are judged by their body modifications, the perspectives of employers and employees will be analyzed. Another talking point that will be covered in this documented essay involves creating laws that protects a person for the unlawful bereavement of their job based on their body modifications. The final point that will be addressed is how tattoos are becoming vastly popular in today’s society and what does that mean for future generations to come. With laws constantly changing, shouldn’t there be a law to protect people that are trying to get a job but cannot because of an employer’s disposition on tattoos?…
This essay describes the job of a tattoo parlor and the tattoo artist, and the interaction between the artist and the customer. The description is of a normal day where I visit Blue Moon Tattoo, watch a lady being tattooed, and receive a tattoo of my own. I describe the complete day in the parlor, from watching a woman find the perfect tattoo, to watching her getting the tattoo. Along with the description, the main point of this essay is to explain how people can actually be comfortable with a tattoo artist and be comfortable with needles being poked into their body. A small amount of interaction between the artist and the customer makes the tattoo have a bit of personality, and a memorable experience.…

Do you have a song that has a deeper meaning then just another song that comes on the radio? Well I believe that most everyone does one way or another. For me that song happens to be Bad Moon Rising by Credence Clearwater Revival. The reason behind this is when I was younger and before he passed away my grandpa used to play this song on the guitar and sing it to me all the time.…
Why did you get that tattoo? Nowadays, it seems like everybody has one, but why did that get that specific tattoo? Tattoos are expensive, they are painful and they are permanent. Many people find them unattractive, or even repulsive, others see the beauty in them. If you get a tattoo, you will be judged by others because of that tattoo. You may be labelled a criminal, a thug, uneducated and immature and you most certainly have some underlying psychological issues that you are trying to compensate for. People think that tattoos are just a cry for attention, a rebellion against society, or a way to hide who we truly are. Some will say you get tattoos in order to be different, yet others will claim you are just trying to fit in with all of the other tattooed people.…
What is a utopia? An imagined place where everything is perfect. What is a dystopia? It is a community or society that is undesirable or frightening. A dystopia is an attempt at a perfect society, or utopia, but it turns out poorly. In the definition of dystopia, I used the word undesirable. Undesirable is a key word in the definition of dystopia meaning that something is not worth having or doing or, in this case, living. Imagine living in a world where you had to follow uniform expectations, you have a lost sense of reality, and you have lost all individuality. The government knows every place you have been and what you have bought. There are many characteristics of dystopian novels, and in the novel that I read, The Bar…

Although the two poems have many similarities, Collin’s tone in the two pieces create two very different pieces of writing. Collins directs two very different tones in the poems to draw the reader in, and then connect with them personally though figurative language.…
Long considered a hallmark of American deviance, the tattoo has undergone drastic redefinition in recent decades. No longer the purview of bikers, punks and thugs, tattooing is increasingly practiced and appropriated by mainstream, middle class individuals (DeMello 41; Irwin 50). For many young Americans, the tattoo has taken on a decidedly different meaning than for previous generations. Estimates on the number of Americans with tattoos generally range from one in ten to one in five (Kosut 1036; Stirn, Hinz, and Bráhler 533).…
