Song
The song "Tattoo'd Lady" by Rory Gallagher fits into the mode of song in showing problems with tattoos. The song is about the people who work at the carnival who only have each other as "freaks" so that they are not alone. People who are "freaks" will always find comfort in a circus with a tattoo'd lady.
This song gives a feeling that people can always find a place to belong. Freaks in society, women with tattoos, are not alone, and do not need to feel segregated because of the ink on their skin.
Image
The image of the tattooed lasy wearing a classy white dress shows the beauty of a pretty women. This image shows that tattoo's are beautiful and not something to be ashamed about. Tattoos can be apart of someones beauty. the women shows confidence and no regret in having a body covered in tattoos.
Film
In the movie, "Wedding Crashers," the men are looking for women to "hang out with" in the bedroom. At one point, one of the gentlemen points out a lady with a tattoo on her lower back. The man calls it a bullseye for the type of women they are looking for, easy.
This movie shows a point that women with tattoos are more sexual. I believe this not to be true, but has been seen in history as a symbol of sexual connotations.
Book
In the story, "Fa Mu Lan," the girl is tattooed for vengence of the village. She sacrifices herself with this tattoo. She also must cover up the rest of her body because if anyone knew she was a women, she would lose that tough guy wonder, and be killed.
The story says that women should be slaves to their men and by Fe Mu Lan going and training and carrying the villages pain as a tattoo on her back, she shows that sacrafice makes you stronger.
