| A Tattoo, like ear piercing, was only acceptable in the Western Culture among subculture groups like sailors, prisoners, bikers, and mobsters. |
V zahodni kulturi je bila tetovaža, enako kot prebadanje ušes, sprejemljiva samo za subkulturne skupine, kot na primer mornarje, zapornike, motoriste in mafijce. |
| Again, like piercing, the homosexual subculture began the tattoo movement to the mainstream. |
Enako kot piercinge je tetovaže v svoj mainstream uvrstila tudi subkulturna skupina homoseksualcev. |
| According to "The Progression of the Tattoo," tattoos are now considered a "unique decoration" in the world of body art because they stay with the person forever. |
Po navedbah v knjigi „Progression of the Tatoo“ so tetovaže v današnjem svetu umetnosti poslikave telesa sprejete kot „unikatni okras“, saj na osebi ostanejo za vedno. |
| Many people find this idea appealing, and seek to tattoo on themselves an idea or message that will never leave them. |
Mnogim se ta ideja zdi privlačna in iščejo tetovaže z idejo ali sporočilom, ki bo za vedno ostalo z njimi. |
| This idea also follows the idea that because body art is more popular in the mainstream culture of Generation X, it can be seen as a divergence from the culture of the previous generation. |
Ta ideja sledi tudi ideji, ki lahko pomeni odstopanje od kulture predhodnih generacij, saj je poslikava telesa popularnejša v mainstream kulturi generacije X. |
| In this sense, tattooing, like body piercing, can be seen as liberation from the mainstream culture. |
V tem smislu je tetoviranje enako kot prebadanje delov telesa mogoče razumeti kot osvoboditev od mainstream kulture. |
| Tattoos can also be considered a sign of conformity. |
Tetovaže lahko razumemo tudi kot znak konformnosti. |
| At the beginning of the recent tattooing revolution (about twenty years ago) getting a tattoo was a clear sign of deviation. |
Na začetku nedavne revolucije tetoviranja (pred približno 20 leti) je bilo tetoviranje jasen znak razlikovanja od množice. |
| Today, however, tattoos have made their way into the popular culture of the nation: advertisements even have begun to use tattoos in their marketing to appeal to a younger buying demographic. |
Vendar pa so se dandanes tetovaže uveljavile v narodni popularni kulturi: celo oglasi so začeli uporabljati tetovaže v svojih kampanjah, da bi k nakupu privabili mlajšo populacijo. |
| So while before, tattooing was really a sign of the "other," today, it can be argued that wearing a tattoo is only a more permanent way to conform. |
Torej, medtem ko je bilo tetoviranje včasih razumljeno kot „tisto drugo“, danes lahko trdimo, da tetovaža pomeni le bolj trajen način izražanja konformnosti. |
