tattoos for womens neck image
Q. Simply put, I'd like to know if tongue piercing was done in the 1940s, and just how common it was. Was it more common in men or women? How were people with tongue piercings viewed in that time period, and is there a website where I can find this information?
I'm talking about people in Western society, by the way. Britain, the United States, Australia, etc. I realise that tongue piercing has been practiced by the Aztecs and several other cultures long before the 1900s.

No. In the 1920's30's there was a craze/fad of burning pictues/patterns on one's skin with heat/tanning lamps, and tattoos have always been around...but even tattoos have only recently in modern advanced societies become widely acceptable. For most of the 20th century in the USA, for example, tattoos were confined to the shadows ie. macho sailor/soldier type tattoos and subcultures - mostly prison-related... Only in very recent decades have tattoos have become widely acceptable. Piercings also have to be considered in the light of modern day antibiotics. I'd hate to risk a life threatening infection for the sake of a decorative piercing ...
I remember decades ago conducting clinical interviews, and if I encountered tattoos, it was usually an indication/sign of an antisocial personality...but now it's something common to soccer moms...
Personally, I have never gotten a tattoo, because - although I like them and wouldn't mind a beautiful illustration of pop art on my back - I am also sensative to how such things are viewed by various cultures. I'd hate to visit a foreign land and suddenly be seen as a criminal deviant on the basis of a tattoo. The same applies to piercings... I hate the idea of catching/snagging a bull-nosed piercing on a string or fishing line and being dragged off into sme h4llish oblivion. Scratch one's nails across the proverbial blackboard; it gives me the same shivering discomfort of mind as does some terrible body piercing.
Body piercing and tattooing is very old and goes off into the depths of prehistory... They were used as art, identification of tribal/clan affiliations, religion... and I do not wish to glorify these practices, because they were not always harmless practices... I found a finger joint bone under a rock overhang here where I live in Alabama; it was about 2000 years old. The finger joint bone was deliberatly sliced off by a native... Some Plains Natives in North America did the same thing...to the point that it was said some natives could barely draw a bow string because they had sliced off so many finger joints. Why? Well, 2000 years ago it was likely a mark of bravery ie. if you met me and I was missing a few finger joints, it showed that I was a tough warrior and hunter - an experiened 'cool' fellow. It might also have originated as a kind of religious sacrifice to beome a better hunter...in times of food scarcity...
Vikings carved their teeth and painted/inlaid the enamel and practiced body art. Skull warping among various tribes all over the world has been practiced to artificially slope the foreheads to show 'nobility' has been practiced. Thank God, I don't see it now in modern times... Necks have been articially extended/manipulated. The Chinese practice of crippling womens feet was once common. Male circumcision remains the most common and unnecessary form of body mutilation.
The more things change, the more they remain the same. I prefer all my fingers, no piercings, and a clean body slate. It;s a hard world to get through without being scathed...

Anyone know of any open back dresses?
Danielle
I have a tattoo on my middle back. Below the bra line but above the pant line, and I'd like to buy an open back dress that shows it off. I've been looking but I haven't really found anything yet, anyone know of any?
I've found open back dresses, but none low enough to show off my tattoo
