that tattooing is becoming a social trend is persuasive; he backs this by stating that tattoos are everywhere‚ inescapable. He wants us to assume that behind every judge‚ teacher‚ lawyer‚ housewife‚ etc lurks ink. Brooks makes a mockery of the “tattoo fad” by writing‚ “these are expressions of commitment…they don’t always work out…but the longing for permanence is admirable” (Brooks).
