Reflection to Week 10

Gun - machine used by tattoo artists' to place tattoos on customers.

Getting touched up - when a tattoo fades a customer will go back into a tattoo shop and get it drawn on again.

Tramp stamp - A popular tattoo located on the lower back of girls.

Ink - ink used to create a tattoo, but is another word for tattoo.

Tat - another word for tattoo

outlining - the outlining of the tattoo, all letter designs use outlining.

shading - the shading inside of the outlining.

tribal - popular tattoo that has many points and edges

virgin - person who has never received a tattoo

design - the tattoo on paper

Everyone seemed to know these definitions. I think the reason for this is because the culture is so popular that many people use these definitions and people outside the culture also use these definitions.
